Feelings on the New Uniforms?

[Flash]

It's eh.

It's still 100 times better than whatever the Rams are wearing right now.

 

[italian pat patriot]

Chargers are now the best ones

 

[Tunescribe]

I love the new uniforms, both the all-blue home version and the road version. Best ever.

 

[Froob]

Home ones are nice, need silver pants and they’re awesome.

Road is one of the best looks in the league.

 

[TomPatriot]

I didn’t really notice.

About 7 years ago, my staff bought me a personalized Patriots jersey with a color scheme I hadn't seen before and I thought it was a Giants jersey rather than Pats. I was appreciative but they swore it was listed as a Patriots uniform..... Now it is exactly what the Pats wore....I was just ahead of my time.....

 

[BadMoFo]

Like the home unis, road ones are whatever.

 

[BradytoMosstoGronk]

They messed with a good thing... imo

Pats marketing department has been lazy since BB took over (which was probably by design) and these lazy redesigns are no exception.

"I'm the boss" Kraft makes the decisions. Total hypocrisy when he hand wrote to Phil Bissell, "I too prefer the old logo" when he bought the team.

Kraft absolutely is married to f.e. and blue jerseys - he's been giving them out like hot cakes since '94. Steve Nelson told me 'it's about the money'.

The Patriots have lost $1 billion in additional revenue the last 25 years by wearing these ugly costumes - which, like confederate monuments, serve only to propagate a false, evil narrative - in this case, that the Patriots were somehow an inferior, unworthy team, a 'laughingstock', a 'disgrace'. A belief worshiped only by bitter, loser opponents and the sick, racist, greedy loser owners and front office of the National Football League.

Where the Pat Patriot uniforms really popular among fans before the change, or did they just prefer them to the flying Elvis's?

In '79, when the flying elvis' virtually identical predecessor

was conceived to replace our logo, Billy Sullivan wisely put it to a fan vote during halftime of the Chargers game in '79.

We cheered Pat Patriot, and booed that ugly proposal into orbit.

In '93 Orthwein figured he was moving to St. Louis anyway, and liked playing with logos, so he rammed the new look up our asses, with stupid explanations like 'leaving the past in your rear view mirror' (can you imagine Green Bay or SF doing that?) and 'historically accurate' which Pat Patriot is


All the Pats players I've spoken to from any era love and prefer our real uni's...

I understand younger fans who only knew the flying elvis, and fans who associate it with winning titles, but it always has been and always will be wrong.

One big problem is, the f.e. fans are brainwashed by media propaganda that the Patriots were abominable before Kraft's purchase, which is total bull sh*t. Our longest non winning season streak is 9 years - and fourteen other NFL franchises had worse stretches of that length or longer in history, mostly in the Super Bowl era.

I've hated the uniforms since 2000. I liked the uniforms they last wore in '99. Kraft could've compromised by at least having the current uniforms have the same design as the Pat Patriot one's, also with a red alternate, white pants, etc. They were lazy.

It would be suicide for teams like the Packers, 9ers, Raiders, Cowboys, Chiefs, Colts, Steelers to change their uniforms.

I think the new home uni’s are a downgrade. Not bad. Just could be better.

I actually think the new road uni’s are an upgrade though. They’re much cleaner than the old ones.

Ahh - the vote by volume logo. The fans were never louder when Pat Patriot was on deck ... and never so silent (and for the rowdy drunks of Foxborough in 1979, silence was a sin) as they were when that abomination was presented.

 

[LJRomanoff]

Road is one of the best looks in the league.

Not a very high bar. Pretty much every NFL uniform except for the Bears and Eagles are ugly as hell.

 

[bormio]

I'm on a island by myself but they need to go back to the original logo and red and white combinations.

I don’t think you are alone

 

[captain stone]

Love the road uniforms...Pat Patriot on a white helmet would make them near-absolutely perfect...

Hate the home uniforms & their (one-) color rush cartoonishness. Hate them hate them hate them...

 

[sz11nike]

With the exception of the away shoulder striping I think they look good. They should wrap further down if not all the way around.

A white gap between red and blue (creating 5 stripes) would look better too just like the old pat patriot away jerseys.

 

[Patjew]

These are the second-worst uniforms they've ever had.

 

[tasmlab]

teams that win 6 should never change uniforms.

Pretty good point.
