Actually, I don't mind the silver unis too much, but those single-color, blue shirt blue pants unis from the GB 2002 were some of the ugliest things I've seen in my life.

Historical uniforms (especially the oxymoronic "redcoat Patriots") should only be worn for Thanksgiving.

MODERN alternate uniforms should be worn for a game or two a season.

What do you think of with the red? Dreith? SB XX?

While there's always the '05 Chargers game, one can't forget about shutting-out Parcells or the Snow Bowl in '03 in the silver.

That's a good question.

I can't compare for richness of memory with a lot of you, but my image is definitely Steve Grogan (whom I love) tottering unsteadily with the hounds of hell in pursuit.

So I love the red uniforms but don't want to go back.

ItalianPat, how many threads have you started on this same subject? I understand you like the old unis but they were changed for the better. The old reds and squatting Pat logo conjure bad memories of an inept franchise for most folks, along with being historically inaccurate from the very beginning. (The invading British wore red, not the original Patriots.) I actually like the silver jersey, it looks awesome up close. I'd like to see them use the blue pants with the blue jersey, that looked pretty studly the couple times they tried it back in '02.

I hate the silver jerseys!! They just look like dirty white jerseys. I thought the blue on blue looked really cool, wish they would go with that more often.

If I could choose a third jersey, I think I would go with white pants and a white jersey with red and blue trim. Kind of like a Midshipman, but with red and blue triim. Yeah, that would look good, all white.

Funny, I think ItalianPat always brings up fun topics.

Plus, I disagree. When I see the throwback logo - it conjures up great memories for me. Football isn't all about winning in my book. Sure, the Patriots, like you said, were also rans back in the day, but that was part of who they were (and still are). Pat Patriot reminds me of Sundays with my dad, going to Schaefer/Sullivan/Foxboro Stadium, watching a team of talented players who just couldn't reach their mark. I still view the Patriots through those youthful eyes.

....and those alternate silver unis just look like the players forgot to launder their white jerseys. Ugly.
