i hate the all black Mr. Hankie look.

Lets change the LSU uni's. those are old and out dated. how about bama, georgia and so on.

Anyone know were i can get an ole miss running rebel with the confederate flags?

Would like to see LSU do something with the helmet for sure; it has that committee/compromise look to it...

When looking for an Ole Miss Jersey, you're gonna when ask for one with "Dixie" on it...

Surprise you don't want a "Hotty Toddy" T Shirt...

Of all the infinite number of simultaneous universes in existence, in NONE of them is mustard an acceptable color.

I like the larger logo on the helmets but not the black facemasks. I like the gray better. The Saints just look better with white jerseys to me all around. I will never will be a fan of the all black uniforms. Not suprisingly, I really liked the all white they used to wear.

maybe tighten a little here or there on the jerseys, smaller pin stripes around the arms and pants legs, slant the numbers ahh donate um to the world league. lol

Either one of these is OK with me.

takes me back. I thought then it was funny that they could not get the golds to match - but I love it - saints fan from the beginning!

sorry to post twice in a row...
just went on nfl (dot) com to watch... I did not get to SEE the game this week - was forced to get updates on my phone - it sucked OK - it did - but it only happens about once a season or so - this was it (I hope)

any who --- I saw some highlight clips is all -

SHEEZE I LOVE the old Unis - and wish now - as I did then! (if only the gold pants MATCHED.) The numbers, the socks, the helmet, the pants four different "golds" in all.

Was Fabric printing that bad in the 60's? Actually, I think it was.

I lived in Pittsburgh for a year - and often quipped that there was only one black and gold - the "stillers" were black and yellow. But they (like us) have not changed that much - on fact - they accepted there yellow pants along time ago as gold - and said - YEA, WE ARE BLACK AND GOLD!

I admire teams that don't change there basic stamp. I hate it when these teams change there uniform year in and year out. Pick one - and then do it with pride. Atlanta Falcons (you are our age) - FU for changing your uniforms like three times. Tampa Bay - you are a little younger than us and We all give you a one time mulligan - New York Jets and Giants - thank you for going back.

Ours has barely changed since we started. I mean the TV thing made them all change the stripes on their shoulders to put numbers and logos in the easiest place to read them - the logo on the helmet didnt really change - it shrank a little bit - the fleur de lis is still intact. --- it is not like the boston patriots who now look like a bad rendition of the Nike Swish - or the Cincinnati Bengals (almost an AFL sister team) who look like rejects from a Duran Duran concert.

Gold isn't really a "color" as in on the color wheel but it seems like they could have gotten the manufacturers together - even back then.

but I think those stripes on the pants socks and arms make them look like football players not Lance Armstrong with shoulder pads - OK i am biased and much prefer the old school uniforms and HATE HATE HATE the modern unitards.

Football is a geometric grid like game. I like straight lines - these modern wispy curvy things that some teams are putting under there underarms - the swish like streaks that teams have turned their logos into - I hate it all.

but if I were my father he would hate that they have logos on their helmet at all.

but still...

... there are 6 or 7 teams younger than us - yes we are still young - but hey - in a 32 team league - that is a lot. I think it is terrific that teams take a game or two every now and then to flaunt their history.

and frankly I like ours. I have great memories of it - and yea we lost a lot - but we stuck with em - and it made watching the pigs fly that much sweeter.

I say wear em again.
