+1. I prefer the modern uniforms. The throwbacks throw me back to bad memories.
I know what you're saying, but.......
If not for..........
God bless those lovable losers (for the most part outside of 1963). They and their hapless owner labored under lousy conditions and general indifference. To the folks that actually hung in there with them, they DESERVE some of the glory being beamed their way by the current organization.

i'll admit that I don't have that perspective, but, as i think about your post and a couple of others in this thread, i can say that I envy those of you who were able to experience the franchise in its earliest days. i hardly think of myself as a bandwagoner after following the team through ups and downs (more downs than ups until this decade) over the last 35 years, but my hats are off to those who were with the team from the very beginning.
i'll lift a cold one to all of you tonight!

My beginnings came from watching the improbable Pats-Vikings game in 1974 when Bob Windsor tore up his leg and ended his career courageously struggling to make the game winning TD when the lowly Pats upset the Purple People Eaters (at the height of their greatness) on their hoime turf.
I was at Fenway Park,when Jim Lee Hunt intercepted a pass and went "bumling,stumbling,rumbling,for a touchdown.What a thrill for a young fan......at fenway you were practically sitting on the field.
I think someone said that the temporary bleachers that were set up in front of the Green Monster were spectacular and close seats. Whereas the seats in right field had horrible sight lines and you may as well have been in New Brunswick.
True?
I know the old-timers think it's great, but that Pat Patriot logo has to be one of the lamest I've ever seen. At least it's not as bad as the chiefs' old logo:
