I like that too. Like the Packers- (who actually did mess with their striping in the 80s, but at the beginning of the Favre Era, came to their senses.

Why would you change something successful? And if people recognized your trademark, why would you screw with it?

The Broncos should be orange and sky-blue, not blackblue. The chargers should be powder blue with yellow britches. And the Pats. should be RED white and blue, not blackblue. Im really tired of blackblue.

I kinda wish the Cleveland Browns would change their uniform, and their name.

Unquestionably the ugliest uniforms and the most boring name in the NFL.

from the terrace, it was hard to read the numbers at times.

That's why they changed to white numbers shortly after that for a while.

Ugh!!! Lee!!!

Disco was a tradition in the 70's too. Sometimes its best to move on.

exiled 09-27-2011 11:30 AM

I agree with Danno about the name - at the very least they should be the Baltimore Browns.

I think names should be like race horses. Once you have used it you should not use it again.

AlaskaSaints 09-27-2011 04:01 PM

If we could match the two GOLDs. The pants looked mustard-yellow.

Yuck.

Still not a fan.

I'm with you on this one Skymike...The Browns uni's are among my favorite. The tradition adds to the appeal!!

skymike 09-27-2011 05:21 PM

heres something about uniforms. its not only what your colors are, but also, how do you look up against your opponents? remember the old Browns / Oilers games? man, THAT was some color on your color tv!

and then it snowed, and you had a white field!

they look really cool up against the steelers too.

jeanpierre 09-27-2011 08:26 PM

I loved the old Pats uniforms...

Red, White and Blue with the Patriot ready to tee-off!

But you think with their current run of success their gonna mess with the New Millenia Postal Look?!?

DFWAGT...

Saintswrath 09-28-2011 07:50 AM

It looks like the New Saints are breaking all of the curses we had from the Ghostly SuperstitiousDome with a Grave sight apparently underneath it to the Uniforms that had a history of decades of failure all over it..

Now.. I really don't care.. the Uni's were ugly i guess im more superstitious that those Uni's had negative energy, i gotta stop doubting what this team can do if they applied themselves and stop relying on Karma.

halloween 65 09-28-2011 11:07 AM

I loved them. Looked real good with the final score. Also hello Black and Gold.

turbo_dog 09-28-2011 11:22 AM

They wore these uniforms a few years ago. I liked them then and I still like them. Something about the stripes... they look like they're running faster.

That's why they changed to the Baltimore Ravens.

The pants were horrible. When we wear the black jersies with the new gold pants we have now it's the best uniform in the league.

Anyway... I didn't like the throwbacks for what it's worth.

I know it's all the same which uniforms they wear if/when they are winning, but still I'd prefer if they used the gold jerseys more often instead of these ugly throwbacks with messy numbers on them.

skymike 09-29-2011 05:42 PM

oh good Lord, just stop, people. lol. YUCK!

the throwbacks were ugly, but I liked them.

but I think the best uniforms, as someone else said, are the ones with
tradition, the ones where the opponent looks across the field, and
think's, "oh boy, we're up against them." There are uniforms where you
just look at them, and know they're going to win this game, no matter what
happens in the first 3 quarters.

personally, I think we have something going on with our gold/white uniforms.
We look magic. And so far, we've been magic in them.

Lets make these our tradition, and stick with them.

My sister picks games based on who's helmet she thinks is the best. She isn't right very often. LOL

pinch 09-29-2011 08:10 PM

My wife said they look awful and I'd trust her fashion sense more than mine.

Absolutely not.

Our helmets will now carry the word SWAG over the fleur.

AlaskaSaints 10-01-2011 03:03 AM

Cory,
No room for you here, bud. Troll somewhere else, please.
Let me guess, the TEAM-team-board you belong to got beaten by the Saints this year and last year at least, giving you 125 posts to troll us over.

Just stop it. Unbecoming of a man.

Either that, or update your profile to include your personal info so we can confirm your troll status.

Lets all act civilized and just have some fun please, enough with the unprovoked attacks, let us Mod's do our jobs, we're watching. Everyone is welcomed as long as they aren't trying to ruin or terrorize our community.

CheramieIII 10-02-2011 09:04 AM

I think we should go back to those uni's all the time. I love the old gold against the black.

QBREES9 10-04-2011 10:21 PM

I hope to see them again this year.

The key words in your post are "old gold", which does look very good with black. The throwback pants worn against the Texans were more of a mustard gold color, which is not accurate for our early unis. The pic on the '67 issue of SI of Jim Taylor and Gary Cuozzo show the true old gold color. If they will get the right color pants for the next time we do the throwbacks, the jerseys will look much better with them.

Budsdrinker 10-05-2011 07:52 AM

I still like these old jerseys.

hagan714 10-05-2011 09:26 AM

old gold bingo

breesfan27 10-05-2011 01:50 PM

I agree with the PP who stated why celebrate a time when we sucked. I liked the tops of the jerseys, but the piss yellow pants were atrocious. I think the throwbacks should be a special occasion thing, and only if we're winning when we wear them.
