This is how Tom and the team should look in the Super Bowl
A championship team wearing the uniform of champions
The best in sports.
Those specific unis (we only wore in 93) always remind me of Thomas the Tank Engine.The best in sports.
And this poor man had to model the stupid, insulting replacements along with Pat Harlow, who spoke for all real Patriots fans, New Englanders, and anyone on planet Earth with any sense of taste, when asked at that very initial promotion, wearing them, what he thought of the new look:
"It sucks."
As true today as it was then.
The Steelers were hapless through 1971, the 49ers were terrible in the late seventies, the Cowboys were equally bad in the late eighties, and the Packers were miserable for twenty-four seasons between Lombardi and Favre; and none of them needed an identity change.How is THIS the uniform of Champions? This team never won ANYTHING. They were lovable losers or robbed out of any impending success that they might've achieved, including this very game shown above.
This was a great uniform, and I especially like the Tippett all-white:
Let's not live in the past. The Kraft related identity change needed to occur. The team and we are better for it. The Good Ole Days weren't always good...and they weren't EVER this good. Flying Elvis is KING! Kings RULE!
Less than a year. It's more understandable to consider Kraft's being beholden to Goodell, whom he thinks had something to do with building Gillette, than toward Orthwein, who spent every single second here intending to move to St. Louis, until Kraft overpaid him by $50 million to finally get out of town. Maybe the guy made lots of phone calls to Robert; he really likes that.

Filing an amicus curiae brief carries no weight, especially since the filer accepted having first-round draft picks stolen in 2007 and 2015. Like the personal letter he finished off with the large handwritten, "I too prefer the old logo."

Happy Birthday, Brandin Tawan Cooks (born September 25, 1993)
Brandin played for us way back in the early 21st century, during the Tom Brady/Bill Belichick era. He caught the winning TD pass against the Texans at old Gillette Stadium on 9/24/17, with seconds to go on the clock. Many people today do not realize that during this dynasty, the team wore the ridiculous, silly fake logo hastily conjured up by NFL Properties at the behest of James Busch (Meet Me in St. Louis) Orthwein just a few months before Brandin's birth, less than a year before Robert Kraft bought him out, an image virtually identical to its ancestor "proto elvis" which received what remains today the loudest booing in the history of the Patriots in 1979.
Hated by real Patriots fans, New Englanders and even opponents, the flying elvis, regularly rated worst among NFL and even all professional sports logos along with its corresponding Arena League reject uniforms were in fact embraced by many in the Boston area, even as they simultaneously complained about the same league stealing draft picks and leveling outlandish punishments on the team for imagined infractions. Today, of course, the only vestige of the impostor logo is as the butt of deserved ridicule, and receives raucous laughter whenever someone wants to reference a completely insulting, terrible notion, prospect or idea, usually suggested by the totally ignorant, as a cheap gimmick.
