Bruce Allen on McNabb extension, Haynesworth and uniforms

[JoeRedskin]

I thought teams had to register the uniforms they were going to use in any particular season with the NFL at the start of the NFL business year. As I recall, teams need to register a color/white scheme and can have one (or two?) "Special" jerseys. Again, to the best my recollection, 24 hours prior to a game, the home team has to choose color or white. "Special" jersey games have to be designated before the season begins. The uniform police go to each game to make sure the players conform to the teams registered unis.

It makes sense, you don't want teams radically altering their appearance from week to week.
