I preferred the old colours, I have to say. Still, the majority prefer the blue and the association with success.

Never understood red jerseys. Weren't our boys wearing blue fighting the "Red Coats" for our independence?

Excellent point, they should have been BLUE not RED.

Anyway I hope they burn the old uniforms...

Too many BAD teams.....

Love the old red throwbacks- I'd take them back in a heartbeat!

Personally, I've never been a fan of the modern Patriots logo. But I do like the dominant blue (as oppose to the red which I dislike) in the jersey color scheme. Conversely, I've always liked the previous Patriots logo. I don't like the white background helmet but the logo ranks up there with the Celtics leprechaun or the Bruins letter B. I wish the current ownership would go back to the old Patriots logo, it's better. I believe the modern Patriots logo has more to do with marketability and sales than anything.

I like the red. You dont see too much of it in the league so it really stands out. Too much blue. But I do like the flying elvis.

This.....but I love the White background helmet....just make the 2 red stripes blue and we would have the best unis in the NFL!

I don't like the white background helmet but I can live with it. I mean the Chargers changed from a blue background helmet to a white one and it works. I like how their white background helmet complement the dominant blue in their color scheme of their updated uniforms.

What's interesting, during yesterday's game, a reporter asked Jonathan Kraft about the throwback uniforms. His response was a curious one. He'd said that he and family are fans of the throwback uniforms but they didn't purchase the franchise until a year after the logo and uniforms were changed.

So if it was the previous ownership's idea to make the change. Then why don't the current ownership take this opportunity to revert back to tradition. But I reckon too many losing seasons are associated with the old look Patriots. And... It's about making money.

I LOVE the home throwbacks. But the away throwbacks are disgusting IMO
