While I've never been to Minnesota, to watch a late season game from old Metopolitan Stadium on TV was a great experience as a kid. Nothing beats football in the cold, mud and snow. ?? One of the reasons why I liked it when they played at the University of Minnesota's outdoor stadium. They gave up a huge home field advantage when they went indoors.

FinsUp1214 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Two of the best looking Super Bowls ever just so happen, in my opinion, to be the first two. The uniform matchups and the settings provided for some great, great shots. SB I SB II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gifford ended up missing two years, but he, the doctors, the Giants organization, and the league let him come back after that, albeit at a different position. That speaks to the lack of knowledge and foresight the entire league had at that time. It was Bednarik's fault for injuring him with a terrible clothesline tackle. It wasn't his fault for the decision to come back and be subjected to more head trauma. That aside, you can't dismiss the historical relevance of the photo and the story it tells. If anything, let it stand as a cautionary tale.

Korkie Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Switching gears, here is Reggie White making the great Steve Young look small. I sat on Reggie White's shoulders to shoot free throws at a charity basketball game. I was a big kid and he was by far the largest man I have ever seen in person. Both in stature and personality.

oldschoolvikings Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Here's a great picture I'd never seen before, discovered while searching for images for this thread; Hall of Famers Johnny Unitas, Carl Eller, and the seldom seen 60's purple pants. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschoolvikings Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Triple extra bonus points for the matching stripes on the jerseys and pants. If I could bring back one thing from the past to make mandatory on today's NFL uniforms, it's contrasting pants and socks with (when possible) stripes that reference another uniform element. This is the main reason the Bears and Chiefs have two of the best uniform sets in the league. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're so close with the Color Rush jersey...but still so far. And bummer about the sleeve stripes on modern jerseys. I was happy when they brought back the facsimile of these in 1994.
