Default Tip prefers Pat Patriot to Flying Elvis

Quote:
[Tippett] was asked, since he wore both helmets, whether he preferred Pat Patriot or the Flying Elvis logo. "If I had to pick," Tippett said after hemming and hawing, "I just have love for the old Pat Patriot. He just looks like a rugged dude. I would go down a dark alleyway with him any day."

Flying Elvis is the slickest and in my mind the best logo in the league.

I stepped away from my Pats fan hood and looked at the entire league to determine that as well. I god damn love our uniform and logo.

Me too, I never did like the flying Elvis. I also like the old uni's better after seeing them in a piece about Tippet' playing days..

Please, I never want to see those loser uniforms again. I shudder at the thought of them wearing those throwback uniforms again, a major jinx!!

It is funny how people long for uniforms in which the Patriots stunk for years over uniforms in which we are the modern day dynasty. Mysterious indeed.

Regardless of that, I think Flying Elvis looks far cooler.

The old uniforms are classic. You can update them without making the Pats look like an expansion team. Sure, you naturally associate the new uniform with winning, but that's the only reason it looks acceptable. The actual look of the new logo is terrible on face value though, and if Pat Patriot had been kept the whole way through nobody would think this way. You could have the ugliest possible logo imaginable and if the team wearing it were dominant it'd look "cool," but that doesn't mean it actually is. If BB and Brady had never come along, but the Pats still had the logo they do today, the vast majority of people would think it looks stupid, because it does. Trying to bury a team's history by giving them a new look because they were less than successful is just an illusion. And an all time great like Andre deserves better.

I don't like the Flying Elvis uniform because it's associated with winning. I like it because it looks ******* bad ass compared to almost every other uniform in the league.

Runners Up:
Jaguars (blacks)
Dallas (whites)
Steelers

My favorite Uniforms are the ones that remind you that the league has a history.

Green Bay
Pittsburgh
Colts (yeah I know)


None of them have been significantly changed and none of them look dated. The ones that end up looking dated are the ones that try too hard to look "futuristic" and "cool."

I agree completely.

I almost listed the Colts and the Steelers, but I decided to stick with uniforms that look bad ass and aren't just bad ass because they're old.
