Danno 09-21-2011 06:48 PM

Am I the only one who doesn't like throw back uni's?

Ours are OK, but there are some really ugly throwbacks out there.

FireVenturi 09-21-2011 06:50 PM

As long as we don't play like the throw back Saints, I'm good

UGHH!!! Why won't the whole throwback crap just die.

AlaskaSaints 09-21-2011 08:34 PM

Hate it. Hate it. Just serves no purpose and is distracting.

Can possibly be BAD JU JU !!!!

The Saints spent nearly 40 years languishing in mediocrity. Why would we want to "THROW BACK" ????

I agree & what is the purpose? Is it for the NFL to make even more money then they already are?? :brood:

FireVenturi 09-21-2011 08:46 PM

I like the white ones better

You mean the 2 point conversion game?

At least our throw backs are not radically different, and since they aren't why even bother with them?

Halo 09-22-2011 12:48 AM

This is NOT a throwback, more like a spin off of Grambling or SWAC uniforms. Those were horrible - sorry if I'm offending anyone.

And this was the WORST of the Haslett era (error). The ultimate in mediocrity and underachievement. 4 of his 5 years was pure HELL for me.

We're wearing original uniforms. I watched Deuce and Brook clobber the Bucs in the throwbacks some years back, following their Superbowl season.. We do fine in the throwbacks, no bad voodoo, mo jo etc.

Ok, back to football......

With you on this Danno.

You are who you are. We are winners now. No need for gimmicks.

Y'all remember the arguments on this board about how we should wear black pants and black jerseys, because it made em look FAST?

That was a distraction from the fact that we didn't expect to win.

Does anyone here expect us to lose to the Texans?

I don't......... Feels good.

strato 09-22-2011 01:07 AM

I think we COULD lose real easy....we better play mistake free..

Could lose and expect to lose are what I am trying to highlight.

I used to expect to lose. At times i hoped we didn't lose. Mostly, I thought we COULD win if the stars and planets aligned.

Nice to feel that we will only lose if we fail to execute.

It is a 180 degree shift in expectation.

FinSaint 09-22-2011 07:42 AM

I like the gold jerseys and I wouldn't mind seeing the Saints use those instead of the white ones on away games... but, alas, it might be just me.

But I agree on the sentiment about the "true" throwback unis... esthetically ugly and emotionally irrelevant. I don't get the purpose of wearing these uniforms if it's not a special occasion of some sort, which would/could justify their usage.

Actually it was their superbowl season. We swept them that year.

Budsdrinker 09-22-2011 08:21 AM

Here is my guess on why we are wearing them, this is the last year of Reebok as a supplier and they have a surplus of these jerseys already made since we wore them in 2002. They have been on nflshop for years so they figure if we wear them again they might be popular and fans will buy up the remaining inventory. Again just my guess from a marketing perspective.

Cruize 09-22-2011 08:22 AM

I loved the all white uniforms.

RaginCajun83 09-22-2011 11:28 AM

NFL.com screwed up my order when I bought my Brees jersey back in 06 and gave me a throwback jersey, I've worn it with pride ever since.... it took a little while but it grew on me and I like it, it could be worse remember the Bears and Steelers jerseys in 1995 talk about ugly

So true

darstep 09-22-2011 02:17 PM

Just plain ugly! There's a reason why they changed.
Never liked the throw backs. Throw'em away.
Unless Tommy Myers come with them.
