I agree. I understand a ton of people hate HATE these jerseys but im 23 and love the retro look. Something that says this is where we came from this is what we were built on and we can still where them and play dominantly.

Burn 'em. I didn't say blame the uniforms for the loss, but there isn't much happy history in those uniforms. Exactly how many awful years by Patriots teams wearing that uniform had to be offset by the awesome teams post-2000 to rise above the .500 mark? And I started watching in 1978, so I acknowledge there were a few years on the record before I became a fan. The good years in that uniform truly meant something because the bad years were truly bad. Yes, let's re-live those days.

Pat Patriot should be portrayed in pictures in the Hall, not on the football field. The team became a good organization after he was replaced by the Flying Elvis, so other than crediting that uniform as the genesis of the current Patriots organization, I don't care to see it out there now.

After they scored their 5th TD, i wondered if someone would put this thread up. Atleast nobody can say the team cant win with the throwback unis on

I will say, that some teams should never wear a throwback. Denver, even Titans (oilers) today. They just look ugly. How about those jets throwbacks? Those are god aweful. I really don't think ours look that bad.

Win or lose has nothing to do with the uniforms. I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for ole Pat Patriot

Just as a practical gameday matter, I hate the throwbacks. It takes me halfway thru the first quarter to figure out which team I'm supposed to be rooting for. Then, it takes me into the third quarter before I start recognizing players who would normally be instantly recognizable without seeing a number (like Moss). It's just annoying from a fan's perspective.

If the league wants to change back to those uniforms, fine. Just don't change the uniforms week in and week out. As a fan, I'm trying to get a little better each week, react a little quicker. You know, build towards peaking in December. This uniform thing is impeding my progress!

They've overdone it this year, four freakin' times is too many.

Love the old red uni's. Wish they'd come back permanently.
