OT: Titans new uni’s rumored to look like Patriots?

[Actual Pats Fan]

FACT: Without even looking I knew who gave you one of your winner ratings.

And guess what @Actual Pats Fan ? You don't need to brilliantly squeeze your unis message with creative word play and hair thin segues into a completely unrelated thread topic. Nope, this is your thread buddy. Blast away.

Terrible uniform decisions are really commonplace around the NFL and other pro leagues. As slimy as they are, the Colts' retention of theirs from Baltimore are classic; but it obviously would have been optimal to have left them for the now-Ravens to adopt, as was done for the new Cleveland franchise. If the present-day Texans were the Oilers, that's be better; or making these guys the Tennessee Oilers. The owners (like Kraft) make the decisions. The Rams, Broncos, Bucs and Cards uniform changes were lousy; I guess the Hawks uni's today are flashier than they were but the logo is virtually the same.

The bottom line is, this is about the Pats, and ONLY the Pats. The rest of the league can go fly a kite, I don't care. Since Billy Sullivan hired Chuck Fairbanks, it's been Super Bowl or bust for us, period. Sure there were on- and off-field screwups and mistakes, but the Pats are OUR team.

Even through long extended stretches of futility that the Patriots have never approached, Green Bay, Dallas, Pittsburgh and SF among others kept their look, for the fans' sake and in this regard Sullivan got it right. I always hated the red pajama pants, and I think the shoulder-pad stripes should stay in the 60's, but at least the logo and scheme should always remain the same, just like they are for the other dynastic, legendary teams in the modern pro football era.

What magnifies the intensity of the subject is the treatment of the team overall since the 1970. There is arguably no other franchise in North American professional sports that has been treated like this. It has been media-fueled, along with the league encouraging and endorsing baseless attacks and accusations from our opponents. The ascension of Roger Goodell to commissioner ushered in an era of explicit, corrupt and illegal penalties being levied against the Patriots, giving them an unfair competitive disadvantage.

James Orthwein, Paul Tagliabue, Roger Goodell - and Robert Kraft - are all complicit and agree with anti-Patriots propaganda - and these are the people who shoved this makeover down Patriots fans' throats. Kraft has found himself backpedaling only recently, when he took exception to the corruption spilling over into the quarterback's position. But he continues today to endorse Goodell, and to have his team wear what symbolizes the false notion that prior to 1993, the Patriots were a worthless blight on the face of humanity. While financially stable, he's worse than Sullivan in several respects.

Yep. I as the OP officially give up my ownership rights to this thread.

It’s APF’s now. Run free, wild spirit.

Think of the Pats like Cinderella. Only, before she could attend the ball and meet the prince, her dreadful Turkish uncle decided to give her a nose ring, a vicious scar across her right cheek and a skull tattoo above her left ankle.

Now, some people might find this to be attractive or an improvement...certainly not the majority of those who loved and cared about her all those prior years of hardship and abuse. But the intent and motivation of the perpetrator(s) is unquestionably malevolent. It's an insult. Always will be.

The Jaguars Uni’s aren’t too bad as-is but the paint job on their helmets is just butt nasty. Looks like half the helmet was acid washed or left out in the sun.

Personally I loved the teal alt uni’s they donned this year.

Not a fan of the font and the uniforms are okay ... definitely not 'TIGHT'.

I am not a fan of serifs in the numbering, although it is less silly looking than what the Vikings do.

Every once in a while I see a post and think that the best thing to do with it would be to print out a copy, put a frame around it and hang it on a wall where everyone could see it. That post is one of those.

However, rather than fight to have the old logo return I would just as soon dump the entire NYFL as soon as Brady is done.

I totally don't get the bashing of the Kraft Era Patriots. You guys know they have five (1,2,3,4...5) Super Bowl wins, right? Yes, I agree the league and Goodell suck. But would you rather go back to Chuck Fairbanks quitting on the eve of the playoffs, Irving Fryar leaving the stadium IN PADS, no stadium, or a high school stadium that's mostly empty, 1-15, laughingstock of the league?

Don't answer, it's rhetorical.

Care to elaborate?

2010s uniform changes: weird looking numbers, everyone switching to the same primary color.

Yeah but it's an outrage that our logo isn't that red guy bending over anymore.

 

[Froob]

Those helmets are soo sooo sooo bad.

 

[Boomer B]

When did Tennessee become the Toronto Argonauts?

 

[Nehalem]

Not a fan of the font and the uniforms are okay ... definitely not 'TIGHT'.

Old uniform was better.

Especially the number. The new font for the number is just plain hideous.

Someone got paid to design that?

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

Wish they’d go back to these and call themselves the Tennessee Oilers.

 

[TheFlyingWedge]

As slimy as they are, the Colts' retention of theirs from Baltimore are classic.

The new Colts new logo is timeless.

Sorry to answer, but it's all about the present and the future.

Nothing will ever take away the franchise's success under Kraft.

But it's never too late to do the right thing. It's why the '67 Sox support keeping Yawkey Way.

Butt Nasty.. I like that, if I ever become a world famous DJ, that'll be my name, would prob sell a million t-shirts
