Some love for the Pats' silver jerseys - New England Patriots Forums

I was surprised to see #5 on this list:

The Shutdown Five: The NFL's best alternate uniforms - Shutdown Corner - NFL - Yahoo! Sports

I wonder if the writer knows that the Pats have retired those jerseys anyway.

For the record, I think the silvers look good when fans wear them, but not so much when the players wear them. When the players wear them, they look like the white jerseys covered with sweat stains.

Are they really retired? Or are they just not wearing them this season?

I can't remember if it was on here or on Patriots Planet, but a while back someone posted an article from the team's website saying that they would no longer be wearing the silvers. No word yet on if they'll make a different one or do like the Bills and wear a full throwback as an alternate.

I've heard rumors that Bob Kraft doesn't like it when the team wears red jerseys.

Maybe they're limited to one alternate/throwback uni per season.

Yes, they are, and they can only wear them for two games each year.

Someone did photoshopped up a red alternate jersey, same style as the current uniforms. It looked pretty sweet.

i remember that...same as the blue home jersey, but instead of blue it was red. That was a nice uni

Meh...

I actually detest that silver jersey. I'd rather they did a red version of the current jersey, or go for a black one like those you can find in the pro-shop.
