The flying Elvis. All my pat patriot hats have been worn out for years

Personally, I have a ton of Patriots gear and 90-percent of it is Flying Elvis.

Conjures up the image of a garage filled with The Osmonds albums and memorabilia.

I mean, even if Donny won six Best Singer Grammys, still...

It just feels right proudly aligning oneself with WINNING.

I think you (& a lot of others) may be suffering from Kraftitis. That is, emphasizing winning above everything. Like the Yankees.

Why was it fun to be a Patriots fan since the beginning? Well, just look at the 70's and the 80's: who was more likable and rootable: The Patriots, or the Super Bowl champ of any season?

The Patriots, by far. The other teams were, and are, schmucks.

So the Bucs ruined their uniforms and won a title. They're still the Bucs.

And, even if you leave the cheating aside, the Donkeys also ruined their uniforms and then "won" Super Bowls. They're still the Donkeys.

But here's the kicker for you: In the 70's and 80's, the Jets ruined their logo and uniforms, and are doing it again this year.

You do not want to be like THE JETS, do you?

Pat Patriot didn't have a chance in the SB vs the Bears. Nobody was going to beat them that year.

"Me? Oh, I'm nobody..."

I have a mix of both. One of my boys buys me pat Patriot gear for birthdays, Christmas and Father’s Day so I have a lot of both. He’s a Raiders fan so he lives exclusively in the past.

Modern Pats "turned it around" in 1974, only the second year into Chuck Fairbanks' tenure. We beat the top teams.

Two years later, we weren't decimated by injuries and had the Super Bowl stolen from us. We remained competitive (one losing season in 13 years)

You can look this stuff up; the Pats have always been a great team to root for

...you just need to accept the owners' obvious faults, and unwarranted derision from local and national media

Not starting an argument....but...the Pats were in the '63 AFL title game though....

That just made me realize that the Pats were a bad call on Sugar Bear away from appearing in the championship game of their league in every decade of their existence...'63, missed the 70's, '85, '96, and Brady era.

The Sixties, in many ways, are a unique decade in football and especially Patriots history. Idiot writers choose to belittle the team for its nomadic, homeless origins rather than point out the character and courage of so many men who played very well here, with honor. That's why I think our throwbacks should be that uniform, which we last donned in 2012.

I consider the modern era to be post-merger, while some prefer the Super Bowl era.

I alaways wear Flying Elvis. I am older and have bad memories with the Pat Patriot. I still have my childhood plastic helemet I wore as a kid with Pat Patriot on it

I'm superstitious...I didn't enjoy our loss. I prefer Super Bowl Winner Elvis.

We blasted that jinx into Oblivion two weeks prior.

We didn't make it all the way in the 80's & 90's because Rain Man Berry had a permanent hard on for Tony Eason.

I can't believe Kiam just let Flutie go. He was firing Berry anyway. I guess he just knew more about shavers than football.

Pats Fanatic · Feb 25, 2019

I love both, they represent a team I have loved since I was a young kid. I have had good times and heartaches with both. I find it funny when people get so upset either way.

Patriot Pat. Not even close.

Wordsmyth · Feb 26, 2019

I own one Pat Patriots stocking cap; the rest is Flying Elvis.

Keyser Söze · Feb 26, 2019

Flying Elvis. 6 championships with them.

I love the old school pat patriot look. I would pay really good money for an AFL white throwback Brady jersey.

But the home flying elvis jerseys have a soft spot in my heart. Bought my first jersey with my own money. It's an authentic Brady jersey, which when I was 15 I didn't appreciate how high quality they were (it was $100 on sale at the mall because it's like XXL-sized. It still feels like a robe on me today). I'd wear that sucker in the football field with my buddy throwing the ball around in the snow. Numbers are halfway coming undone from it but I don't think I'm gonna get it fixed.

My buddy was a Colts fan, too. Loved wearing his 2006 AFCCG sweater near me. He disappeared mysteriously and was never seen again

I have hats from SB36, 49, and 51. I have a bunch of jerseys that I don't really wear, including vintage Ben Coates and Vincent Brown. I have a denim shirt with the SB36 that I only wear on super bowl sundays. I have a couple other hats... the red draft day one and a camo one that have F.E on them. I have a vintage Belichick hoodie, a Pat Patriot baseball style hoodie and a Do Your Job t-shirt. I think that's it. No divisional or AFC champion gear.

I just bought a "NEW RINGLAND" t-shirt from Barstool. That's pretty sweet.

oldrover · Feb 26, 2019

I wear a Flying Elvis winter coat, with a Pat Patriot baseball cap.

You can't appreciate the joys of the New Testament...

Pat Patriot......why is this even a question?

1960Pats · Feb 26, 2019

On one of my last visits to the pro shop at Patriot Place I picked up five pairs of blue fleece gloves with the Flying Elvis logo on them. I gave three of them away as gifts and kept two for myself.

Those gloves came in handy at the end of each golf season. They were easy to slip on and off and were nice and warm. Plus, they allowed me to wear some Pats gear away from the stadium.

Well, one day I lost one of the pairs by leaving them in a golf cart, and a few days later I saw the same gloves on the starters hands when I went to give him my pass. I told him that I just left a pair like those on a golf cart a couple of days ago and asked him where he got those. He said they were given to him.

Since I had never seen anyone else wearing gloves like those I asked him if it was possible that those were the gloves that I left in a cart a few days earlier. He took offense to that question and avoided talking to me ever since.

My question is: Do you think those were my gloves he was wearing?

VegasGuy · Feb 26, 2019

I have more Elvis stuff but prefer my Pat Patriot stuff.

Besides, I had Pat on for the SB this year so that's the most important reason.

Did the glove fit?
