And pardon me for saying this, but I'm not real excited about the prospect of reliving the whole "red jersey" era.
The Bills game will be the last game in our retro's.
You sure it won't be against the Dolphins? I thought I read they were one of the "legacy" games. (Which doesn't make much sense since they weren't one of the original 8.)
The original Patriots fought and beat the British running them out of NE.
Wearing those would be in poor taste.
Most of the stadium are going to be Pats fans. Including me.
Why would you want to mock your supporters? The Revolutionary War was a long, long time ago, man.
Yes, but the oppressive nature of the British Empire still existed well into the 20th Century.
Let the Bucs wear the Red Coats...we won't fire until "we see the whites of their eyes."
With that said, is the old Bucs helmet with the pirate w/ he knife in his mouth more or less offensive then the skull on the flag?
Give me a break. Treaty of Paris was signed in 1783. I think we can safely say folks won't be offended if the Pats were to wear their throwbacks that were first worn in 1960.
Agree. I think the problem is that too many of you are looking at this from an American perspective. Most people in the UK will not understand the significance of New England Patriots. Very few will know anything about the War of Independence and no one will care. They could turn up as the "Boston Tea Party Rebels" and the point would be completely lost on most of us.
Really? They don't include this in history classes at school? Granted, not England's finest hour, but still an important event in shaping the modern world.

If they don't teach you about Nelson, other aspects of the Empire, barely touch British naval domination then i hardly think the American revolution is going to be high on the list.
No
Enough with the damn throwbacks already
Bucs weren't part of the original AFL teams.

Same here, I've been unable to buy one due to the extortionate shipping and import taxes but I've heard they are available for sale at Wembley so one will certainly be coming home with meAbsolutely love the old uniforms...every time I see them, I get extra pumped for the game. Red jerseys are great...don't see why anyone would not like them.
