Best Dad, worst...
FYI, I did not write this:
They may very well be the best team ever by the time quarterback Tom Brady hangs up his cleats. They’ve won five Super Bowls while appearing in seven total since he and Bill Belichick started working together. They’ve set tons of records and have looked amazing as a team.
The problem is they don’t look amazing while playing to near-perfection. Their uniforms are not appealing whatsoever and they rely way too heavily on the dark blue in their take on the patriotic red, white and blue. On top of that, the logo itself is simply ugly.
Like a few other teams, the Patriots could stand to use a little trip in Marty McFly’s DeLorean. Their best years aesthetic-wise were the “
Pat-Patriot” days. Not only was the white helmet cleaner looking, but the Patriot snapping the football was awesome. The rest of the look was far superior as well. The red uniform felt more patriotic than the deep shade of blue they wear now. Plus they could finally embrace their heritage as an AFL original from the dawn of modern pro football; even Boston fans today don't know about the team's history prior to 1993.
Also, the fans and players love the look. When the Patriots used to be able to switch to these as alternate jerseys (before the league banned teams from alternate helmets) they embraced the look fully. It’s time to go back.
