Is there going to be a 50th anniversary regular season uniform?

All throwback uniforms must be certified for authenticity by italian pat patriot .

I'm guessing a big year on Patriots merchandise with the 50th anniversary patch on it.

Yeah, that was my first thought -- Italian Pat will be thrilled.

Holy crap, 50 years of following the Pats!

Next year will be the 50th season of actual games, even though the league was founded in 1959.

Wow man, respect!

What was that like, becoming a Pats fan?

I hate throw backs.

The only throwbacks they should ever wear is 2001, 2003 and 2004!

Well, simply put, if they played in Boston (later Foxborough, of course), I was going to be a fan. Red Sox, Celtics, Bruins...The AFL was like somewhere between a major and minor league until (somewhat holds nose) the Namath Jets beat the Colts in SB III. I actually sort of liked Namath. He was definitely the first big star an AFL team signed, flamboyant SOB also. The early Patriots were fun. They didn't win any titles way back then, but they were our Patriots, and they played on Sunday!
