These??
Or these??
Of course, if they wanted to go way back, to year one, 1960...how about these
Does anyone have any word about throwback jerseys for the 2012 season?? It would be especially great to play with them on Thanksgiving against the Jets in their throwback uniforms. Also it would be cool to see them used in another game or two!
Anyone agree? Disagree?
I want the throwbacks brought back permanently. Classic and neat.
What they have now is ok but it's not as identifiable as the old red jersey with the real pat patriot. And I don't want to hear about how they've won in the new jersey's. They still would've won even if it were pink. And forget about this god awful Elvis logo. Looks like the 90's threw up on their helmet.
The throwbacks suck, big time. They're boxy and clunky looking, the team looks slower in them. They have a woeful losing tradition behind them and are the wrong color for a team named Patriots. Pat Patriot is a very dated, static-looking '60s-style cartoon character whose image really makes no sense. But the biggest faux pas from the very start was choosing British trooper red (representing the ENEMY) for a team called the New England Patriots. It's time to move past attachment to the old, dusty duds and embrace the WINNING era.
At first I wasnt sure what to make of your post. But, after thinking about it, there is a lot of good sense to it. Especially when you compared the color red to the Brits.
The Connecticut Colonial Militia wore red and fought on the American side, and the minute men didn't even wear uniforms, and many units in the revolutionary army wore green.
But the Colonial Army regulars under George Washington wore blue and the British ALWAYS wore red. First time I've ever heard of green, but we know that would never happen. Maybe they should got to a scheme of tan, brown and white.
Teams often choose to wear the whites at home in September when high temps and lots of sunshine are forecast. The only times I ever recollect Miami wearing their orange or aqua jerseys at home was for night games.Not necessarily accurate. In the NFL the home team for every game has the choice of whether they want to wear white or the dark colors. If the Jets opt to wear white then the Pats can wear red.
The reasons for the white and dark color jerseys is a thng of the past, no longer applicable.
It existed so that viewers on black and white TVs, with small screens, could discern the difference between the teams and their players. It was also a carryover from baseball, because both baseball teams had primarily white uniforms, so they made the road team wear a grayish one.
I got news for Y'all. Everyone has color TVs today, and many have B-I-G screens. So they don't need to keep doing that nonsense.
