I know. Me, too!?!?!

That must mean I'm in my 60's? How's that happen?

Were you a Giants fan before the Patriots?

I followed both teams for a couple of years, but switched to Pats only by '65. (Though had the Pats moved to St Louis I probably would have gone back to the Giants.)

I still have a Boston Patriots bumper sticker my father wouldn't let me put on our car, and still have a few Mobil gas station giveaway drinking glasses from the 80's. Had a couple dozen, down to 5. Wish I knew where I could get more.

Count me among the orginals....my dad brought me to their very first game when I was 7!!

50 years of history- man oh man.

My dad started taking me around 76. I wish I could remember details, but I was just too young to know what was going on

If the Browns were pushed into NE TV, I missed it...maybe early 50s...as teh middle to late and beyond was ALL teh NEW YORK FOOTBALL GIANTS!! ANd I hated them with a passion...Jim Brown WAS my favorite player...an dit was amazing seeing him play....ALTHOUGH I must also admit it that the Unitas led Colts were also my favorite team...so seeing them take care of the Giants was also so so fun!!! The early Pats were great to watch...many many memories of watching and seeing live the Boston Patriots...ay BU, Fenway, where I saw many games as well as BC and Harvard stadiums.
The AFL...great league..ONLY made the NFL better though an dmore alive.

Hio Italian Pat Patriot and Happy holidays to you!!! I hope your Christmas went well and wish you a very Happy New Year.......

Yes indeed, the throwbacks will be great fun - I am really hoping. as I know you are for one home and especially, an all white away uni.

That red and blue and red stripe running down the legs of their away white pants bring back the earliest of memories for me....such as a streaking Gino after a catch or a great kick, or even are you ready - Art Graham!! Best of all in those days was the very underrated Jim Nantz, oh my what a star he would have been in this day and age.

Anyway, heres hoping for a VERY happy Sunday between Xmas & New years.

Do any of you guys remember WHY the Krafts dropped the Pat Patriot Unis? Was it to turn the page or to modernize the look?
I don't know any Pats fans who don't adore the old look....why not just switch back permanently?

It was time for a change as sales of Patriot were lagging - as soon as the new "flying elvis" logo was introduced, sales skyrocketed.

Oh and by the way, as much as I love the old logo and uniforms - I'll take the NEW unis any day as they are the uniform of our dynasty!!

You make a compelling point. I guess the RED jersey with blue/white stripes just carries some sentimental value. At least we'll get to see them again!

Yes indeed and it will be sweet.....

I hope they wear the Red Pat Patriots one. Those unis are badazz.

 

[florazona]

Orthwein was responsible for changing the uniform, kraft purchased the team the following year. It was a new direction, new era with the overhaul including new unis, new coach, new qb, and who could forget the Ray perkins new style of offense. Although the year they went to the playoffs and had 5 players with 5o recepts was entertaining.

my earliest memory were the pats with the red pants, they got to go with those.

Against the Bills and Jets, according to Paul Perillo on PFW in Progress. He said the 8 AFL teams will play each other during those weeks. 2009 is the 50th anniversary of the Patriots and the AFL.

Dude, thanks for the information. Now I know I'm either heading up to Foxboro or I'm hosting my Patriot friends here at the Meadowlands in either Week 3 or Week 6 next season. Always good to know months before hand!

Hopefully for once the Jets go to Foxboro early in the year, I'm tired of always having the Patriots here for our Home Opener (3 or 4 years in a row now) because, well, I'm tired of losing our Home Opener. At least we stand somewhat of a chance in Foxboro.
