Patriots to wear throwbacks four times in 2009 - Reiss' Pieces - Boston.com

This may be sacrilege, but I hate the throwbacks. To me they make the players appear small and weak.

I don't mind one game but not more than one. So, count me in as those who dislike throwbacks.

Count me in as well- they were fine for the first game of the season, but after that, let's get on with the next 50 years.

I'm in the minority I guess, I love the throwbacks. Reminds me of watching the games when I was little. I am especially excited about the December 6th game.. Throwbacks around Thanksgiving/Christmas time... I love it.

It's not sacrilege. I hate them too. But not because they make the players look small and weak, but because they are huge bad luck charms. They promote 30 years of losing and one of the worst Super Bowl blowouts of all time when we finally did have a good season wearing them. I like the colors, all in all. But I'd feel much better with the team wearing the new uniforms.

Brady is 2-0 wearing the Throwback (Thanksgiving 02 and Week 1), so maybe they are good luck...

...leaving out the fact we played the Lions & Bills, and moving on...

Love the current uniforms. The red throwbacks are bad mojo. Count me out.

I'm with you. I like having different uniforms from time to time to break up the monotony. I know a lot of people on this board preferred the silver uniforms for that reason too.

Ah yes, but he SHOULD be 1-1.

Thank you again, Leodis McKelvin.
