Oh well at least we aren't talking about power rankings...

FatiusJeebs · 11-21-2006, 01:21 PM

Saints uniform.....#1 in the power rankings!! LOL.

I'm all for the inverted helmets as well. With inverted helmet colors, we could have uni's that look like Wake Forest. IMHO, Wake has one of the best uni's in college football and basketball.

As far as other teams
Top 5 fave helmets
1) Saints
2) Giants (love the metallic blue)
3) Lions
4) Dolphins
5) Raiders

Top 5 disliked helmets
1) Browns
2) Oilers
3) classic Bucs
4) Patriots
5) Bills

With all due respect, the Fleur-De-Lis is based on a flower. There should be a man law against that. Now for the recognition standpoint... I will give you that.

The Steelers - They are the Pittsburgh Steelers, not the Sausalito Interior Designers. That's a man's helmet right there.

hmmm do not think the the flower is the issue it is the meaning that counts.
If there is a man law against that then there should be one about a team uniform to look like fat people wearing black spandex and a baggy shirt to look skinny. Skip the 90's all black look please. Who died anyways? next we will make Johnny Cash our mascot and bring in Jerry to coach. Well Elvis and Johnny did get along. Jerry could leave tickets for the two of them.
God stike me down please if we ever go to all black.
The Gold dome is unique to the NFL and must stay.
as for the rest
I miss the old Buc myself. He was so cute. The Bucs look like they worked at an orange juice stand at the state line.
Bolts in baby blue traditional AFC color stays. oh yeah not in fashion dump it
Crayon brown stays also tradition, NFC. Screw it change the name too
Purple and white tradition. Nah drop the horn and go with a true viking. Purple? dump that too. have you ever met a purple people eater anyways?
Dallas star tradition. Nah they should be all Yellow with silver trim. Nah true orange that burns hotter.
Tradition means something in sports. Keep it as is forget about getting all artsie fartsie with it. Sound like a bunch of marketing agents for niki.

The Saints do have the most classiest and most distinctive uni's and helmets. I say make the fleur-de-lis bigger on the helmet, though

The Best-
Raiders - forget the record. Still one of the top signature uniforms through the years.
New York Jets - Lean Green Football Machine
Dallas Cowboys - The coventional face of the NFL

Teams that apparel companies should not have screwed with
Seattle Seahawks - Good freaking lord.
Buffalo Bills - Is this football or lacrosse?
New England Pariots - It don't matter how many Super Bowls. Atrocious.
Minnesota Vikings - Terrible new jerseys that destroys the whole image onfield.

Zzzzzzzz....
Kansas City Chiefs
Cleveland Browns

Looks that killed...
Houston Oilers - That's right. Earl Campbell can make a man shake in fear of powder blue
Buffalo Bills - Joe Ferguson, Joe Cribbs era.(1979-83)
Philadelphia Eagles - the Jaworski, Carmichael era.
