I like them both....but the current uniform is better. They can wear the red one every few years.

One game a year in each wouldn't hurt in my opinion.

What about the other 14 (or more if lucky enough) games???

what about a Blue alternate with the throwback design and Pat helmet???

As it stands right now, Kraft is making a killing on selling two forms of Jerseys.

By going back to the Red, they wouldn't have much of a throwback to sell, as the Flying Elvis isn't nosalgic enough to induce sales.

The entire point of 4 throw back games a year by every team is nothing but driving sales.

It's another gimmick by the NFL to spur on sales... unfortunately, I think the NFL is heading for a collapse like the financial markets as they are pushing profit faster than it should naturally grow... which is going to lead to a big bust someday.

Else we will be looking at 8 throw back games a year, and the invention of a new Jersey in an attempt to keep up with sales, etc... We are starring at a marketing driven league now, so the ridiculousness of the advertising and selling out will only become more and more apparent.

When I see the new Uni's, I think of Dynasty, one of the best teams of all time, the team of the decade, three Super Bowl wins and winning season after winning season.

End of story; go with the new uni's and *****can the old one..........................

Don't forget Clive Rush , the new coach, being introduced by Billy Sullivan, getting zapped by the microphone at the press conference. I'll never forget the look on Sullivan's face. The curse of Pat Patriot strikes again.
I wear my old school stuff to mow the lawn, work on the car, wipe out the litter box etc.

Pat Patriot = Curse

Flying Elvis = 3 Trophies

Agree. Like the arrogant grin on Pat Patriot logo. But memories of 7 yards rushing against the Bears in that Super Bowl--give me the blue and silver any day.

I love the throwbacks which is the uniform I was attracted to to get me as a Pats fan in the 70s

I do like the current style as well but what some here fail to mention is that the BEST and coolest looking jerseys were in the Bledsoe era in the mid 90s where Flying Elvis logo was put on the shoulders and the numbers on the unis were tri colored and numbers were also on the lower part of the sleeves...those were the coolest and best overall to this day IMO

Pats171 · 10-20-2009, 07:18 PM

old unis are cool once or twice a year, any more than that and I start having flashbacks to Bob Lobel's Sunday Night show in 1990 and Rod Rust
