As you’re surely aware by now, the NHL unveiled its “Reverse Retro” program, which attempts to reimagine a chapter from each team’s visual history in a new color scheme. Today I'm going to start to imagine the NFL team-by-team for all 32 franchises.

 

Before we get to that, it’s worth mentioning that like IRL Reverse Retro, it’s a fun idea that works really, really well in some cases … and not so well in others. As we see with so many league-wide uniform programs, attempting to force-fit an every team into a certain template or concept doesn’t always work. So there will be some home runs, but there will be some that swing and miss. I am well aware there may be some stinkers, but feel free to comment and criticize either way.

 

Let's kick things off...

 

Chicago Bears

Inspiration: 1936

 

Recolored version of the Bears' current throwback jersey which debuted in 2019 with orange and white flipped. Hall of famer Bronco Nagurski wore the original '36 uniform.

Detroit Lions

Inspiration: 1957, Detroit's last NFL Championship

 

Color swap of the Lions' current throwback. This uniform was worn by Bobby Layne and during the season where San Francisco blew a 20-point 3rd quarter lead against Detroit in the playoffs.

Always wanted to see these uniforms in a black jersey and purple pants, and it is surprisingly good!
