White on white (throwbacks) and although they haven't worn it in some time blue over white (throwbacks). That would make it 7 uniform combinations.

Two random observations/general wonderings based on this video:

 

1) It would be awesome to see Josh go full assassin mode next year and wear the dark visor. Would keep the defense guessing a bit on where he's going with the football from not being able to read his eyes and to a way less important extent, looks cool. Are QBs allowed to wear tinted visors (didn't Vick used to wear one?) and how much would it affect their vision? 

2) If you were playing away at Denver and practiced in masks for the week or two leading up to that game, would it help you prepare for the altitude/less oxygen? Probably a stupid question but seems like the mask would help you get used to playing without your usual 100% intake of breath.

I had heard that previously...does anyone know why?  Can't imagine it gives that much of an unfair advantage (if it helps block out sunlight, I guess all players would have the option to do it).

I guess there are several reasons, including not being able to see where a player is looking (definitely an advantage for QBs) and for medical staff in diagnosing concussions.
