Color Rush experiment ends
The Tampa Tribune, published 18 December 2015

Dressed in their respective red and yellow Color Rush uniforms, the Buccaneers and Rams looked like the top two-thirds of a traffic light competing against one another on Thursday night.

If you didn’t like the Color Rush look, don’t fret. You won’t see it again. At least not this year. The Bucs and Rams were the last of eight teams that were asked to wear the monochromatic Nike-designed uniforms that were featured exclusively on “Thursday Night Football.”

Fan reaction to the bold, single-colored uniforms was mostly mixed, but players seemed to favor them. “I feel great in it,” Bucs quarterback Jameis Winston said. “I feel like this is a winner’s uniform. I love red. Red means stop, but we want to go in these uniforms.”

Like Winston, Rams wide receiver Tavon Austin also was a fan, in part because it reminded him of a uniform he wore during his college days. “We used to call it the ‘Gold Rush’ back at West Virginia,” Austin said. “It feels good to be fully back in the uniforms I started in.”
