Absolutely. Close that old thread about our uniforms. In fact, I'll never bring it up again just as soon as I see the following press release: 27 JULY 2016 - FOXBOROUGH, MA-The New England Patriots open training camp tomorrow, and fans will be pleasantly surprised by seeing their team open the 2016 campaign sporting their old favorite, "Pat" Patriot logo on their helmets as they prepare for the first preseason game. In the announcement that players will now wear the previous "throwback" uniforms last seen in 2012 permanently, team owner Robert Kraft said, "I believe our fans deserve the best, and we acknowledge the support they've given us through the years and will always appreciate and respect that." The team will wear red jerseys at home, and white jerseys on the road, along with white pants and helmets.
Patriots fans want to be able to turn on the TV and say "Why, I know them...That's the New England Patriots; I've rooted for them since the sixties, I'm proud they represent us!!" Instead of today, when they say, "Who the hell is that? I don't know, some ugly team from Birmingham or Memphis or something...their team, especially the quarterback, are playing great but their logo and uniforms sure are God-awful..."
By all means, don't start a new thread. It makes much more sense to spend time digging up an old one... one that will get closed... again.
