Because the tired, played-out "throwback" craze that the NFL continues on, is really fresh and original. Seriously. Very original thinking from the NFL.

oldschoolvikings Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Actually, last years throwback extravaganza was even too much for me. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 For what it's worth, I'm in complete agreement with dennisbergan.In this case I am, just because I don't like the Patriots' throwbacks. On throwbacks in general, I didn't mind last year's extravaganza. It was a special event, not the norm. I'm generally ok with throwbacks being busted out one or twice a season (though no more). Also, if a team wants to go with throwbacks one year, they should forfeit their alternate jerseys for the season.

Sodboy13 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I like the Patriots' throwbacks from the neck down. Or at least, I did when they wore them originally. I really do wish that teams would focus their efforts on creating new designs that fit the current NFL uniform template, rather than continually shoving the square peg of throwback looks into the round hole of sleeveless, skin-tight jerseys.But hey, it keeps the cash registers ringing, so it's likely not going to stop any time soon.

oldschoolvikings Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I just read an article saying this would be a throwback to the 85 superbowl uni... not the same one as last year. Any confirmation? http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I would say the Cardinals, Falcons, and Saints have better logos now then they did then, even if their uniforms may be subpar when compared to the older designs.

mania Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Wow, the only two I'd agree with on those are the Pats, Jets, and... maybe the Giants, and 2/3 of those are throwback-inspired designs. Off The Top Rope: A Pro Wrestling Podcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
