I'm pretty sure this was just some custom stuff for Bill. Nothing else suggests a change, and the Pats just changed to a new wordmark.

How the Patriots don't have more Revolutionary War homages is beyond me. It's like a goldmine of war=sports imagery.

The "Join or Die" cartoon/flag by Ben Franklin is relevant. Especially because it actually refers to New England rather than its individual states.

Then again, the NFL is lame and not fun at all so what the hell would I expect.

Jews fleeing the Holocaust are not in any way comparable to North Africans, who don't flee genocide but want to enjoy the social welfare systems of Northern Europe.

The current Pats uniforms are probably in my top 5 around the league. They are absolutely fantastic and I love the move to that metallic grey instead of using the boring as gently caress red, white, and blue that is inexplicably popular in America. The design and cut is perfect and it makes everyone on the team (excluding Wilfork) look like a 90s era comic book hero.

But for real, red white and blue is a hideous combination and way too many teams use it. Adding the silver and minimizing the red is a great way of keeping the "spirit" (:laffo:) without having to work around three terribly uncomplementary colors.

Gray and Blue is boring. I don't hate the Patriots uniforms but I liked the Red uni's better. They look so good in-game. The current logo is dull but it's not that bad. I like it better than Pat Patriot. Pat Patriot was too complicated and kind of ugly.

speaking of gray and blue goddamnit Giants go back to the white pants you retards. At least in tandem with the Blue home colors. You can keep the gray poo poo for away games.

The Giants need to go back to the LT-era uniforms in general. A team named "Giants" should not have a logo made of frilly lowercase letters. And the away jerseys just look wrong.

The LT late 80's era looked great then but I'm not sold on the stripes on the sleeves. They'd look to much like the Bills. They need to put some blue on the away jerseys, though.

Also the Bills should go back to the Jim Kelly era bright red helmets.

I just want them to do this as a throwback. They won't wear the reds. It's been 15 years since the switch, that's long enough to bring out an 80s/90s jersey. Or drop back to the 70s even.

Also, please bring back the GIANTS on the helmet. I will never not love GIANTS. It's what I grew up with.

The Bills' unis after those are a good reminder of why deviating from the predictable red/white/blue is not always a good idea. They had some really lovely ones for a while there with the three kinds of blue and poo poo

No, they do not. At least not in the garish shades of the old Pats colors. Too bright. They look like one of those post WW2 illustrations where something is "not quite right" about all the people.

The Seahawks current uniforms are great and way better than anything they had in the decade leading up to it. Go back to the beastquake game uniforms, that poo poo is dull, drab garbage.

Though the 90's era silver helmets with sad seahawk were pretty good.

The current unis are kind of goofy (I hate the weird green pattern up the leg) but the rest is fine. The green highlights are nice and the uniform is very distinct in a good way.

The Bucs are poo poo. Does anyone actually like the new Bucs uniforms?

Yeah, I loved the previous unis at the time, but looking back those are the most hideous. Just nothing going for them at all.

Death to the Seahawks. Death to Seahawks posters.
I like the Hawks current uniforms a lot, but I'd like to see a return of silver pants and helmets to go with the dark blue tops; unlike most people I think our grey looks pretty good, but silver would be better. The white tops/grey pants look they wore in SB49 was sharp as hell too. It'd also be nice to see some throwbacks once in a while to the Largent era jerseys, the colors on those were so good and sadhawk is way better than smughawk :hawksin:

I hated the NY when they first went back to it but it's grown on me, it's a simple sort of square shape and it looks nice. I do think GIANTS looked drat good though. I think they should at least capitalize the NY because I like the two letter look better than the full word, but I hate that it's lowercase when it should be prouder. I don't think GIANTS would look quite as good on the more modern shiny helmets than they did on the darker blue old helmets. The Old helmets were darker blue, and they had white facemasks, the modern ones are shinier and have grey facemasks.

If I had to design the things I'd actually really only change the pants to white. Maybe change the facemask back to white. I honestly like our uniforms, plus there isn't much you can change without looking like one of the other teams that use similar colors. I'm also one of the few people who likes the red on white away look, I'm not bothered by the lack of blue and the red on white looks better.

As long as they dont bring back the bright red alternate unis. Ugh

Realtalk the Bills went to a Red helmet because their QB was colorblind, and everyone in the AFC East at the time had white helmets. (Pats, Dolphins, Bills, Colts)

So because Joe Ferguson was colorblind, we got some sweet as gently caress looking helmets for a while.

Also I miss the Oilers uniforms. I hated them so much growing up but it was pretty cool how Warren Moon could rock the baby blue pants.

As a whole I'd like to see the NFL put the late 90s early 2000s era trend of making everything darker out of its misery. Denver needs to go back to sky blue and a lighter orange. The Eagles need to bring back the kelly green. The Falcons need to rock the red helmet and black jerseys again. The Rams need to bring back the blue and yellow. The Titains need an entire overhaul as do the Bucs, Jags, and Panthers (the one team I would be fine with adding a black helmet). My perfect Browns uniforms would be the Sipe era brown jersey, and orange pants at home and the Kosar era all whites away.
