  1. Speaking of Patriots rare uni matchups:

    The one time they played the red number Falcons

    1998-falcons-at-patriots.jpg

    And the modernized Patriots against the old-school black jersey Falcons

    15216--nfl_large_580_1000.jpg?itok=jZYyr

    The top photo is the Patriots' pre-2000, big-logo-on-shoulder set, while the Falcons' red-heavy road look and the presence of Jamal Anderson in the photo indicate that it was taken during the Dan Reeves era, perhaps during Atlanta's Super Bowl season of 1998. The presence of Tom Brady and Keith Brooking in the bottom photo tells me it's from 2001 or 2002. I'd only consider the bottom to be the "modernized" Patriots, as, while the logo and helmet are essentially the same, the uniform design is a lot different from the 1990s design. Also, holy cow was Jamal Anderson a beast.

    EDIT: I just realized that the two photos had two different descriptions. Sorry for correcting you on something you got right in the first place!

    The Pats-Falcons one is from 2001.
  2. I swear there is a similar thread to this from not that long ago. But I cannot recall the title.

    http://boards.sportslogos.net/topic/104001-your-favorite-stats/#entry2459112

    I should've given it an Admiralian thread title. Then it would've stuck around more.

    Wow I can't believe I missed that. I read through the last year's worth of threads looking for anything to do with stats or figures, and I didn't see anything. My bad.

    San Diego @ Toronto is the only inter-league matchup that hasn't happened yet.

    Wow, that's incredible. They've played 3 series against each other, all in San Diego. Most recently in 2013.

  3. I searched through threads for the past year and couldn't find anything like this, so I figured I would post it. The idea behind this thread is to post interesting facts or statistics that a lot of people don't know. It'll essentially be the answers to trivia questions. I've got two interesting ones to start this thread off.

    1. The Minnesota Vikings were the first team to kick an extra point from the 15-yard line.
    2. Tom Brady has played two games at University of Phoenix Stadium, but he has never played the Cardinals there. The Pats have played two Super Bowls there, but only played the Cardinals at home since the stadium was built.

  4. As much as I like tradition, I think I'm the only person on the planet that likes the Buccaneers newest uniforms. I'm going to go run and hide now, tell me when it's safe to come out...

    Well there's at least two of us! I don't think the new ones are perfect, but the old ones were boring and the road look was atrocious. The time had come for a change, and I don't mind the direction they chose.
  5. What's weird about that is that IMO Hockey uniforms are by far the most interesting of the four major sports.

    I struggle to get excited about basketball or baseball uniforms, although I can appreciate a good one.

    I think the reason for this is because hockey jerseys are the largest, so there is more room to do interesting stripes and patterns on them.
  6. I think the Blackhawks road jersey is overrated. It's still a lot better than most teams, but where is the color balance? Their red jerseys are some of the most vibrant in sports, but the roads are mostly black and very drab looking. Switch the black and red and it would be a winner.

  7. The Broncos' uniform design is a modern classic. It is clearly modern, yet isn't over the top like Seattle. I also think Broncos' and Titans' style helmet stripes look good and make for a nice break from traditional straight stripes.

    EDIT: I would also consider Bengals' jerseys sans contrasting side-panels and with orange as the primary color to be modern classics.
