    just saw this photo posted on twitter and was shocked to learn that the Colts wore silver pants at one point in the 80's. I had gone my whole life and never seen a photo of them

     

    The Colts wore gray pants at home for 5 years, but I am not familiar with the pants in your pic.  The gray pants had a blue stripe and horseshoe logo/ numbers.

  2. On the TV broadcast, they often used an oversized logo framed in a small box and the Bears wishbone C is near unrecognizable as a logo (or a letter). I suppose the bear head solves some of that problem

    I'm glad someone is finally honoring "the 1968-69 Las Vegas team." Who can forget icons of the game like Bob "Brooksie" Brooker, Don "The Casket" Woodbury, and Roland "Accounts Receivable" Payment. People still talk about scoring a "Floyd Conrad hat trick."

    I hope Brooksie does the ceremonial puck drop.

    "It's been a wonderful ceremony here on behalf of our own Bob "Brooksie" Brooker! Bob was darn near death recently. He wasn't ashamed to admit to me that he had syphilis. Thank God he stopped it in its tracks. It takes a lot for a man... to admit where he got it from and how he got it. Look at him today. Bob, you look just wonderful."

    I'm confused as this is the first I'm ever hearing of the Sacramento crown referencing the mountains.
    Is this actually a thing or are people just misreading the overlapping crown elements ?

    The original crown logo dates back to their days in KC/Omaha.  Any "mountains" connection to California is imagined by someone who does not realize that logos designed in the 1970s did not have a dozen "easter eggs" and hidden meanings contained in them.

    The hat should use the capital letter I from the wordmark that has appeared on the jersey

     

    ITALY | 2006 World Baseball Classic Majestic Throwback "Customized"  Baseball Jersey

     

    I don't know that I could identify that stand-alone letter as an "I". It is like the old Cleveland hat that looked more like a "J" than an "I" (at least to me, anyway).

    Italy's block "I" is not very exciting, but it is very legible.

    Why have people turned on Romo? I still think he's great. If CBS doesn't have the best booth, who does?

     

    I don't think he ever was.

    People talked about Romo because he would call out plays before the snap.  Him fast-talking the formation and the QB reads as the play clock was winding down was just as annoying to me as the weird noises he makes when he is trying to determine on replay if a player stepped out of bounds.

    Unfortunately, there's a better than average chance that a redesign would go  very very badly, so maybe they should just hold tight for now. 

     

     

    Even if they redesigned everything to your liking, they would ruin it with mono-chrome purple, plain white socks with the white pants, and jerseys and undershirts not tucked in.

    White pants and white socks paired with a dark jersey should be outlawed.

     

    It's my absolute least favorite look in all of football and yes the Pats throwbacks are included.

    I think stripes on white pants paired with striped, white socks is a good look.  Where the the Jags, Saints and other go wrong is with plain white pants paired with plain white socks.

    Lol Raiders. Big ass stadium, and they're broke?

     

    What a life to be a broke NFL owner. Sell that :censored:. Make some money. Stop bothering people.

     

     

     

    The Raiders are still paying Gruden and recently finished paying off Jack Del Rio.  Lots of dead money if they fire Josh and are paying a third head coach, It makes sense financially, but it is a shame for their fan base.

    What don’t you like?

    The number font--too boxy , vertical shadow, and I do not like the "spike" serifs.

    ATL front and center on the jersey. 

    Side panels.

    Gradient jersey.

    The matte (or is it satin?) helmet finish--I think it is a downgrade from the previous one.

    I feel like with Darius Slay, at least from what it seems, he's using "Slay" as his brand, well acknowledging "Slay Jr." as his birth name with it being the NOB, which sounds perfectly reasonable to me.

     

    Yes, but Slay Jr. is not his surname.  His wife isn't Betty Slay Jr, (or whatever her first name may be).  Like BBTV, I think a lot of these guys are SFSS.
