Pat Patriot or Flying Elvis, what apparel do you own/like to wear most?

fnordcircle · Feb 27, 2019

Flying Elvis because it's the jersey of winners.

I don't wear loser shit. Which is also why I don't have any confederate flag clothing.

I love me some Pat Patriot. I guess it's a good thing I don't have feelings, if I did they'd be hurt right now.

Flying elvis all the way for me. I have one Pat Patriot sweatshirt, though, and even that is purposely distressed to look old and crappy.

BTW, I'm sure the term 'flying elvis' was a pejorative invented by a negative journalist when the logo came out to purposely admonish it. If we all called it "the revolutionary spirit" or something good it would change the tone of this discussion.

how do we feel about one of the Early Elvis Blue/Navy stripe looks?

I prefer the flying Elvis.

I just think the uniforms, helmets and logo, look so cool together.

I think the color scheme rocks. As you might have guessed by my screen name.

I'm fairly certain it was invented by a few of us long suffering stalwarts passing around a bottle of JD while standing up to our ankles in mud/manure in the aromatic confines of what passed for parking at the ol' cement bowl, now remembered as the Sullivan Memorial Latrine. Well known plagiarist Boy Borges probably propagated it from there.

I have flying elvis stuff mostly because my Pats gear is all "gloating about ever-increasing ring count" type things.

Need to replace my 5X champs shirt with a 6X champs shirt, first world football problems haha

I love this kind of history. Thank you!

Christ, I'm still sporting a 4X champion shirt that still is pretty new that Ian sent me just a couple of years ago.

Pat Patriot the "ugliest" logo?

Like, the stars and stripes is the world's "ugliest" flag?

I guess we Americans are just too darn ugly.

I knew Kraft participated in perpetrating this unholy abomination (He hates Billy Sullivan), and of course its designers (who simply ripped off the proto Elvis) are profiting off it.

I know I'm ruining everybody's celebration of the emperor's new clothes, but the flying Elvis is an insulting, loser image of a sick, sad, decaying corpse, to go along with stripeless Cowboys silver helmets, Cowboys silver pants and Cowboys blue enemy jerseys.

I mean, I kinda hate John Y. Brown, but I wouldn't destroy the Celtics' uniforms over it.

Let's just say Bob Kraft and I are...different from each other.

Why is the white helmet not allowed ?

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?

Absolutely, and if they had Pat Patriot on them he wouldn't have wanted them, and you wouldn't have had such trouble letting them go.

The NFL's One Helmet Rule which is based on studies that have shown a broken in helmet is safer for the player. There's possibly some hope on the horizon, new tech and polycarbonate helmet wraps may soon change things. In the recent past Lurie wanted a one game per season exemption that was shot down pretty quick.

Why the Eagles, and other certain NFL teams, can't wear their awesome throwback uniforms

Ha! I thought it had to do with the color itself and some strange Goodell rule. I have to go back to just clicking "likes" and "agrees".

All kidding aside, I really do like Pat Patriot better but I don't think they sell the gloves with him on them. Next time I'm there I'll have to check.

Guy at my work has them.

Of course, they're awesome.

"Nice gloves, man!"

"Thanks..." he smiles.

A lot of guys have PP hats too.

Some wear f.e. hats. I just ignore them.

Marc Bertrand is a lifelong, card carrying Kraftfan who worships Drew Bledsoe and absolutely adores the flying elvis.

Apparently, his idea of a "****load" is 9, and zero since 2012.

He buys all the bull **** about the Patriots sucking for 33 years.

It's the epitome of hypocrisy that fake Pats fans applaud Kraft for never defending the team's first 33 years, then are shocked when he likewise hangs his coach and quarterback out to dry.

Pat Patriot or Flying Elvis, what apparel do you own/like to wear most?

The poster who James White said inspires him.
