This right here.

I like the Bills, Oilers and Bucs throwbacks

CC.SD · 09-15-2009, 06:05 PM

It's got to be Bolts, although I do admit to liking the Silver and white raider unis.

The powder blues will most likely win but I have to give some love to those Raiders uniforms. They're sharp.

I love the Bills' throwback unis.

The current ones are trash compared to these, they need to permanently switch.

To get an idea what the Broncos and Chiefs look like, here's a picture with all of the teams' head coaches minus Belichick holding up the throwbacks. Notice the Cutler jersey in McDaniels' hand.

I would LOVE to see the Jets bring back those uni's. Would actually be something Jets oriented, they would look pretty solid for a couple games a year, and that's a throwback I'd actually consider buying if I ever wanted to invest in a jersey.

How can you hate the standing Buffalo?

I shamelessly voted for Buffalo's great digs, but I would probably say the Oilers jerseys are my favorite.

RaiderNation · 09-15-2009, 06:44 PM

Loving the Raiders throw backs. Chargers and Patriots are nice too

ATLDirtyBirds · 09-15-2009, 06:45 PM

I know we will be wearing our throwbacks for 2 games this season, and I am quite partial to them.

Here's a link of some of the throwbacks, some (Oakland for instance) in different colors then what you may have saw.

Denver's look somewhat like the Browns' jerseys now.

Oh. Well then take my vote from the Broncos and give it to the Bills. I thought we were talking about their Orange Crush unis.

BoneKrusher · 09-15-2009, 06:55 PM

Powder Blue FTW

I don't know. They look better than the Broncos and Chiefs ones to me.

Just ranking;

1. Patriots
-This is mainly due to freshness, not having seen a Patriots throwback in fifteen years. Still, it's a classic palette; red and white with blue accenting thrown in. I'd have preferred blue trim on the numbers and they could have gone with their first Helmet Logo over good ol' Pat, it's a very refreshing departure from the shift to Navy and silver.

2. Bills
-Ignoring the controversy between the throwbacks and current unis (actually, screw that, BURN the current Unis), Buffalo offers a very solid white/blue composition with appealing red accents. The only real minus from my point of view is I tend to enjoy the modern helmet logo much more than the original. Take that for what it's worth, because I enjoyed the 'meaner' redoes of several helmet logos over the years, like the Falcons, Seahawks, Cardinals...

3. Jets/Titans
-I am presuming nobody likes this look because it is plain vanilla and looks nothing like Jets uniforms today or in the past. Personally, I find the color palette very appealing and wonder why no other franchise has adopted such colors. And I tend to find the 80's Jets- before and after their all-classic 'Namath' look- to be rather dull in comparasion.

4. Chargers
-They honestly don't rank higher on my list for two reasons. 1, I preferred the Royal Blue/Yellow look that Air Coryell had back in the 80's, before they ruined everything with Navy Blue. And 2, the call to replace the original uniforms with these babies took a sharp blow when they re-designed their unis in 2007. Nothing beats a call for a good throwback by a fantastic improvement on the current model.

5. Raiders
-Not seeing it. I'm just not seeing how these are an improvement over the current model. The grey numbering doesn't beat the black, the logo isn't any better... they didn't go far enough back in their design. Tell me you wouldn't have preferred to see that Black/Gold ensemble they had in their first year or two of existance over this.

6. Titans/Oilers
-This probably isn't a fair ranking. I'm probably penalizing the team due to the helmets- they were much better when white. Still, the numbering is quite nice and the red accents contrast very well to the powder blue, a fact totally lost on the bozos who created the Titans uniforms.

7. Chiefs/Texans
-Essentially, it's a Chiefs uni without the red pants and with a different logo. I applaud the team for staying totally consistant for fifty years, but it doesn't offer anything new and exciting to warrant a better rank. (Still, Red/Yellow is an underrated pallette football-wise).

%&@#: Broncos
-The truth; I was psyched about this because I wanted to see how bad these babies could've possibly been. That and the socks. The socks are truly mesmerizing- and seeing Brandon Marshall in them DOES make me think they make you look taller. Yet I feel sort of underwhelmed about the rest of the uniform now. Couldn't they have dulled the yellow a little bit, or made the brown uglier? Or just skipped the white jerseys entirely and go all-yellow? Seriously, yellow is never EVER used as a home color! It could go both ways!

LOL who is your team ?

Zycho32 · 09-15-2009, 07:51 PM

Hehehehe... what a goof up I just did.

Okay, I'll elaborate. I like the New York Titans design, but dislike the Tennessee Titans design.

New York Titans: Intriguing color combo. Could see it on another team.

Tennessee Titans: Powder Blue and Navy Blue combine to form a rather dull combo- it would actually look better if they actually kept red as an accent rather than just as part of the Helmet Logo.

Put red in as number trim, pants striping, helmet stripe trim... doesn't that look more appealing from a color perspective?

Shane P. Hallam · 09-15-2009, 07:53 PM

Powder Blue all the way.

GB12 · 09-15-2009, 07:56 PM

The only reason why so many people think the Bucs orange jersey is so cool is because it's a throwback. If they never changed them no one would like them.

I think a reason all throwbacks are liked is because it's something from the past that you don't see everyday now. That seems like a no **** sentence, obviously that's what makes it a throwback, but what I'm saying is that if these throwbacks were the everyday jerseys that people wouldn't like them as much. I think that Tampa's are a product of that more than any others.

Zycho32 · 09-15-2009, 08:04 PM

Tampa's old uniform was rather sensible given the Florida weather and the state of Heat Protection the NFL had at the time. Heck, even now Tampa Bay goes white as much as it can while down south because they switched to 'darker' colors for a more bloodthirsty image.

Don't get me wrong, their Pewter/Red/Pewter combo for home looks much more ferocious,but that's usually nullified by the Florida heat.
