This jersey just feels old and played out and honestly just lazy. Plus, those shoulder stripes just don't work anymore. Even if they wore the CR jersey with gray pants it would still suck. The Superbowl uniform has tons of flaws but it's better than the color rush. Hm what would be your pick (without going back to Pat Patriot)? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Digby 5,291 Posted April 15 I think if they ditched silver except for helmet (and logo)... it would actually look fine? I don't think a relative lack of silver detracts from either the current Color Rush nor the away jersey. Navy pants plus white socks would actually be my first pick to go with both jerseys. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Am I just picking between the Superbowl uniforms and the color rush jersey? How about something new that doesn't suck? Maybe that's too much to ask for. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or do you think it needs to be something new altogether? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blue is also the only color The Pats have ever won a damn thing in. I like having a red throwback or alternate though. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Digby 5,291 Posted April 15 6 minutes ago, oldschoolvikings said: This is technically sound, but it doesn't make any sense for the Patriots. The typeface evokes the Old West, the sleeve stripes evoke Texas. (Maybe it should've been the Texans uniform instead of their actual create-a-team template.) The throwback is to a one-year uniform worn by a completely unremarkable losing squad. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Silver or red facemask on a silver helmet looks cheap as hell. Navy is the best direction for New England moving forward. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is one of the most classic helmets, and it looks just fine with a gray facemask. 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
