Red = losing tradition. It also doesn't fit a team named "Patriots" who fought a war against invaders in red uniforms. Orthwein did the franchise a favor switching to blue.

Love it!!
Have always disliked the silver helmets. Also don't like the blue jersey/silver pant home unis at all.
Would love that flying Elvis on white helmet look with the current road unis and a return to the red home jerseys.

Thanks for stating what should be obvious to any that can take of the rose colored glasses.

Yes, I rooted for Grogan. Take off the rose colored glasses and remember the chants for Owen and Cavanaugh.

Red and Pat patriot should be shelved and only brought out at "special" times - like in London.

Yeah, these beauties from '93. Yikes. Don't forget that year's pants with the sci-fi stripes on the sides. I do think they should revert back to silver pants for the current away unis tho. The blue pants with the tacky stripe motif are unflattering.

I dunno Tunes, I'm still partial to my Sears Roebuck Steve Grogan #14 from when I was in Junior High in '79. I took a lotta noogies going between classes for wearing it. I took my lumps for wearing my team's color.

And it was red, obscure 200 year old inaccuracy or not. And this whole losing tradition thing is more urban myth than fact. Just check yearly win-loss records at Pro Football Reference. I see a 70's-80's streak of 11 consecutive years with only one losing season.
I know you were there and everything. I guess it comes down to perception. You know, kinda how Yes freaks can't listen to crude & plodding ELP. lol. Eye (& ear) of the beholder and stuff.
I remember Those Pats as being pretty darned good. Just perennially stuck behind The Fins in the division is all.

Don't take it personal. 99% of businesses do that so they can't be sued by people claiming they stole my idea.

Awesome! Flying Elvis on the white helmet would look great on the field. Why hasn't the team done this. It would good either home or away.
