Is this the original "make the team look tougher by darkening their primary color" uniform? I can see the argument for loking this uniform, but, to me, the powder blue is so much more emblamatic of the San Diego region... just like how the Fins' colors are perfect for the Miami region
This is the type of unbridled contempt that can only grow in the heart of a Cubs fan Of course, the logo (and corresponding uniform) in my avatar trumps both Sabres unis posted, but that's another story!
This one would have been weird: Jim Kelly in Baltimore. http://articles.baltimoresun.com/1998-02-03/sports/1998034113_1_dan-kelly-jim-kelly-ravens Jim attempted a comeback with Buffalo in 1998 after doctors said his son Hunter wouldn't live to be a year old, but Ralph Wilson wasn't interested because he had just landed Rob Johnson... Ralph released Jim's rights and he wanted a 3-year deal from Baltimore as a replacement for Vinny Testaverde, which would have put him on that 2000 Super Bowl roster...
The NFL vs. CFL series was a regular thing back in the day, but promptly cancelled after the Bills became the only NFL team to lose to a CFL team when Hamilton won by 17
The Music CIty Miracle game is so iconic that the Titans home vs. Bills away unis don't seem like a "rare matchup" image, even though it only happened once... the rematch week 1 in 2000 (my first NFL game in person!) feels less familair... the only time the Titans whites met the Flutie/Johnson era home uni's:
I know this isn't the specific spirit of the thread, but I find it interesting that Dan Marino and John Elway only met twice in the regular season in their entire careers - once in 1985 and not again until Week 16 in 1998.
1) I am a Buffalonian and I hate this logo: These were both infinitely better: 2) I'd like to see the Browns dawn an alternate uniform using their seldum-used "B-Ball" logo on an actual BROWN helmet: 3) Despite the racist overtones (read up on what these three stars have meant over the years in Tennessee/KKK history), this is one of the best-designed NFL logos ever:
I don't know what has or hasn't been posted so far, but... (Vince Young with the Bills) (Kurt Warner with the Giants) (Trent Green with the Redskins) (Rob Johnson with the Giants)
Nothing can top Guy LaFleur as a Nordique... its one thing for a player to wear a different uniform, but for arguably the most popular player in Montreal history to play for Quebec... unreal. It would have happened with Roy too if they didn't move to Colorado that same offseason.
