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.

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

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.

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.
