They look so thrilled.
They're posing for a photo in new uniforms and smiling. What else would you expect?
It’s ok to say the uniforms sucked, they made changes to the damn logo sleeve within two years and scrapped it all in 2000.
Hard to read period.That's a non sequitur to what we were discussing. But as long you're going there: the main problem with the initial change was red numbers on blue jerseys being hard to read from the nosebleeds. Subsequent changes were because ownership changed and Kraft wanted to have his own identity while boosting pro shop profits.
non sequitur
Changing great looking, very long standing, fan loved, established uniforms in which a team had a lot of success and great players if not a world title, is such a loser, bush league move - which is made by most pro team owners. So: How did John Y. Brown, Jerruh et al. not destroy theirs?Unfortunately I remember this, damn I'm getting old..
Guy walks up right there to Pat and asks, "So, what do you think of the new look?"When Pat Harlow is one of your featured players ... you've got some issues there
Is this like the anniversary of the death of a loved one for you?
OK I'm not mentioning the Nazis.It was a welcome sight and a new beginning.
A murder.A rebirth.
I'm sorry, no.The Pats were pitiful losers.
Local media portrayed every Patriots occurrence like a shameful criminal atrocity, instead of the colorful, entertaining and sometimes endearing anecdote it actually usually was.Cursed. Every time they got good, something bad would happen.
Twice. Fairbanks & Parcells had problems with their respective owners. The timing was the worst: The playoffs get the most attention paid in the sport, and all people hear is bad, 'humiliating' things about the Patriots. And all the other teams who were not in the postseason? They're better?Like when the HC quit in the playoffs.
The Patriots deserved to lose Super Bowl XX. The culture of them labeled 'Patsies' had been so ingrained that the team itself, along with everyone else, reacted with much surprise and zero determination to win. It's literally too painful to watch, but I'm confident Grogan, Hannah and Adams did not appear in that utterly embarrassing video they made after coming back from Miami.When the Pats finally made it to the Super Bowl, they only had to face the best defense of all time. Buddy Ryan and the Bears GOAT defense. The Pats jumped out to a FG lead and the game was over. The Curse took over like always. It was the most lopsided Super Bowl score at that point 46 - 10.
Perception is reality: People have a mental impression of something, and it defines how they see that something, regardless of the truth.You cant go back. Let the Red curse sleep.
Bring back Pat, and the red and whites...best uniforms in sports IMO
