I like that but maybe use a red outline on the numbers for Gray and Blue jersey's. Love the red pants. I also would be a fan of the return of the white helmet, even with the flying elvis if its a must.

I remember that game in 1979, my dad and I booed the hell out of that weird thing they came up with. I do, however, favor Elvis over Pat as the primary logo, not by a lot but I like the cleaner look and don’t love all the details and the peculiar facial expression Pat has. I also slightly prefer the silver helmets to the white ones, more so because the Bildos and LOLphins wear white helmets, as did the Green Slime for many years.

If they went back to the Pat Patriot look with sleeve stripes I’d be AOK with that too. The only things I’m against are “Black for Black’s sake” since black is not one of their colors and a “monocolor” in anything but white.

I like these uniforms because they are a clean look. Its all right there - home, away and alternate. I believe the color rush uniforms are hideous across the NFL. The Lions are putrid, the Texans awful, the Patriots look like pajamas. Onesies Comrade.

I think that the whole logo needs to be blown up for something new and different. The present logo is over 30 years old.

I prefer white/red socks, I don't care for the red pants & the numbers should be white/gray on the red jersey. Other than that

Still the best...

I assume the mustache will be a required part of the uniform.

We changed because for branding purposes, Pat the Patriot is not great as logo. It's busy, it doesn't have great composition, it's to detailed for you to see the whole thing at a glance on a helmet etc.

There's a reason why if you look across the league, almost all logos have the same template as the flying elvis. It's easier to look at, it's something that looks good on a helmet, a shirt, a press release header etc, the composition is pretty simple and easy to decipher.

Pat the Patriot is cool as a retro thing on a shirt or sweater, but it's a terrible logo. It works well as a secondary logo character for the Patriots.

awful lol

Agreed. These are somehow a downgrade to our current unis.

I'm pretty sure, I will not like them. Give me the old red and whites or the dynasty blue. The rest stink.

awful lol

Not in favor of these onesies?

And the neck roll!!

I agree. I was just watching some games last night (2010 Pats at Lions and 2009 Titans at Pats) and the Pat Patriot logo isn't clear at all. People have also said it look like he's taking a dump from far away.

I agree. Most teams have floating heads if letters aren't the logo.

I agree as a secondary logo. However, I will only buy retro merchandise with the Pat Patriot. The flying Elvis looks awful on apparel.

I like the stripes on the pants. It looks like the 1993 design.

hmm that's kinda tuff. Not my favorite but I kinda like it. May just need a few tweaks.

Actually that is what I meant to post. Thanks. I am partial to the red pants.

Need to stick with the silver helmets or else we look like the Dolphins and Bills. 3 teams in the division with white helmets?

Bills need to switch back the red helmets. Those were awesome.
