Since there are two 'throwback' games, why not use a different uniform for each one?
The first of those two games also is honoring Adam Vinatieri, so they could wear jerseys from his rookie year in 1996.
Then use the the red Pat Patriot for the December throwback game.
False, at least as far as NE militiamen goes. The dominant color was red with prior Service militia because they considered themselves English citizens until 4 July. If they served in French-Indian, they likely had red from that.
Blue was not institutionalized by GW until several years into war. I think same time as von Steuben, but unsure. Even then, most couldnt afford to buy new clothes, so blue was primarily an Officer color, I believe.
