Kraft knew the Pats lost more than won in these uniforms, yet made them the primary for 2020.
Kraft knew the Pats lost more than won in the new uniforms, yet kept them when he bought the team in 1994.
And I don’t recall any fans caring for the all blue look or the tweak to the jersey they introduced in 2019.
And I don’t recall any fans caring for the blue jerseys or proto elvis in 1979 or flying elvis introduced in 1993.
So the question remains, why did Bob think this was a good idea?
APF: "Robert, any suggestions from you or Jonathan?"
Kraft: "No. We're still collating."
APF: [laughing in disbelief] "You're what?? I find that hard to believe."
Kraft: "What would you like me to do?"
APF: "Just what you've been doing, Mr. Kraft. Nothing."
Bring back the silver pants.

Ray to Phil: "This was

Also, it looks like Bill had zero say in these abomination they call uniforms.
In fact, Bill Parcells had zero say in this abomination they call uniforms. He coached here with us in 1980, when the guys first called him Tuna.
When Orthwein did this to us shortly after Bill was hired, Parcells was asked about it by the media. His answer was supremely diplomatic:
"I don't have anything to do with those decisions. We'll play in whatever uniforms we're given."
Not exactly 'Wow, they're awesome! Can't wait to wear them!'
BTW Orthwein considered the franchise he bought solely to move back to his hometown to be 'broken and ridiculed'. It was more accurately described as 'broke' and 'wrongly ridiculed and denigrated by media, the league and opponents since the merger in 1970'.
The happiest I ever saw Bill as our coach is in this photo:
