rtrich11 Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 This image is from the NFL publication "First Official Illustrated Digest 1967 Edition". There are probably some errors in there, including no stripes on the Saints helmet, but they hadn't even played a game yet. Another thing to notice is the alignment. The Coastal Division is bi-coastal, and not very easy to travel, I suppose. Anyway, I think it's kinda neat to see em all. Enjoy. cafepress.com/artbyrichards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mings Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 i thought the steelers had the arm stripes in the 60's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtrich11 Posted August 14, 2004 Author Share Posted August 14, 2004 I went to the website Uniforms Past and Present to check the Steelers. They didn't have arm stripes until 1968. The only errors I found were the aforementioned stripes on the Saints helmet and also the sleeve stripes. cafepress.com/artbyrichards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stampman Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Some of those are still (or once again) the same--or just about--cool pictures though--Thanks for sharing...

Discrim Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 i remember as a sophomore, our practice jerseys were 3/4 sleeved, and i guess they were old game jerseys that had been in storage for a while. they sort of looked funny cus you don't see actual sleeves even on high school players anymore A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruColor Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 I'm one of the few here that remember that the Cardinals and Browns used to be a pretty big rivalry...same with the Steelers and Cardinals... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcgd Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Some of those are still (or once again) the same--or just about--cool pictures though--Thanks for sharing... wow...I'm surprised how many are pretty much exactly the same. the now NFC north...or central division in western conference are all the same except the adding black to the lions and orange C instead of white C on the bears. OH...facemasks. But basics...exact still for the entire division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL FANATIC Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Vikings also use different striping. JUSTIN STRIEBEL | PORTFOLIO | RESUME | CONTACT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtrich11 Posted August 15, 2004 Author Share Posted August 15, 2004 wow...I'm surprised how many are pretty much exactly the same.Yeah. Out of the 16 here, it seems to me only the Redskins, Eagles, and Falcons have done complete identiy overhauls. I add Eagles to this because of their eagle head logo+radically different unis. There are tweaks to others, but not too much. Also interesting is that the Giants have come full circle to look like they did right here, making their 1970s overhaul moot.The Rams are in blue here, but from this point until they went back to yellow, they wore their white jerseys. Kind of like the Cowboys do. I wonder if the Saints were in white here because they used to play outside and would be cooler in white. Just a theory, though. cafepress.com/artbyrichards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidRJunis Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 This image is from the NFL publication "First Official Illustrated Digest 1967 Edition". There are probably some errors in there, including no stripes on the Saints helmet, but they hadn't even played a game yet. I've noticed that the gold of the 49ers' and Saints' uniform pictures is decidedly more yellowish than in real life, particularly in the case of the helmets. My guess is that it was extremely difficult to accurately depict metallic gold colors in print in the era before the wide usage of Pantone standards.Based on color photos I've seen of the 49ers in the late-1960s and early-1970s, the gold of the 49ers pants was often more brownish-looking than depicted here.David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
