johne9109 Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Decided to take a stab at a series of Reverse Retro uniforms for the NFL. I love the NHL's Reverse Retro program and have done the NBA so I figured why not do the NFL Arizona Cardinals Atlanta Falcons Baltimore Ravens Buffalo Bills Carolina Panthers Chicago Bears Cincinnati Bengals Cleveland Browns Dallas Cowboys Denver Broncos Detroit Lions Green Bay Packers Houston Texans Indianapolis Colts Jacksonville Jaguars Kansas City Chiefs Las Vegas Raiders Los Angeles Chargers Los Angeles Rams Miami Dolphins Minnesota Vikings New England Patriots New Orleans Saints New York Giants New York Jets Philadelphia Eagles Pittsburgh Steelers San Francisco 49ers Seattle Seahawks Tampa Bay Buccaneers Tennessee Titans Washington Commanders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted May 6, 2023 Author Share Posted May 6, 2023 For the Arizona Cardinals I went back to 1925-1926 when they were still in Chicago. This may not be the actual first choice the Cardinals would go with, but it's arguably their best season so it's what I chose 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted May 7, 2023 Author Share Posted May 7, 2023 Atlanta Falcons The Falcons get a red uniform based on their 1998 season where they went to the superbowl. 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted May 9, 2023 Author Share Posted May 9, 2023 Sorry I was sick for a few days, but here's the next team Baltimore Ravens For the Ravens I went with 1997. Not for any particular reason other than they've essentially had the same uniforms since the redesigned them in 1999. I guess I could've gone 96 for their inagural year, but none the less.... 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted May 11, 2023 Author Share Posted May 11, 2023 Buffalo Bills For the Bills I went with their 1964 uniforms as they were the AFL champions that year. I swapped the main jersey color to red and then swapped the colors on the helmet to blue. I know I could've kept the helmet red but it felt more balanced also reverseing the helmet colors. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted May 13, 2023 Author Share Posted May 13, 2023 Carolina Panthers So I did something interesting for the Panthers. Most of their previous uniforms really aren't far off from what they currently wearand really the only color swap is using their silver as the main color and I don't think anyone really wants that. So I decided to instead base their uniform on the 1975 Charlotte Hornets of the WFL. The colors are of course swapped to the Panthers colors and the logo replaced with the Panthers logo 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johne9109 Posted May 13, 2023 Author Share Posted May 13, 2023 Chicago Bears By a point in the Bears history all their uniforms were essentially what we see today so I went all they way back 1921 when they wre still called the Satyleys. I chose this year over others as they won the APFA championship. The jersey is of course swapped with the Bears colors 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted May 14, 2023 Author Share Posted May 14, 2023 Cincinnati Bengals For the Bengals I went with their 1975 uniforms as I felt it was the most unique and different form what they're worn in recent decades. This time around we get an orange jersey to go with their orange helmet 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The background image is from 1996; if the was to use the serifed numbers, add them to the base too. They eliminated most of the serifs when they went to drop-shadowed numbers in 1997.

johne9109 Posted May 22, 2023 Author Share Posted May 22, 2023 Dallas Cowboys I took the 1995 Dallas Cowboys blue jersey and swapped it into an all grey look. I know this style was worn in other years, but with them winning the SB in 95 I decided to go with that year 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted May 22, 2023 Author Share Posted May 22, 2023 Denver Broncos It was probably a given that I would go with the throwback uniforms for the Broncos. I went with 1977 specifically as it was arguably their best season outside of their Super Bowl winning seasons. I took the white uniform and flipped the orang and blue and gave them orange pants to spice up the uniform a bit 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted May 27, 2023 Author Share Posted May 27, 2023 Detroit Lions In 1957 the Lions had these asymmetrical uniforms, as in the dark jersey did not feature striping while the white jersey did. So I took the white jersey and swapped it to a blue jersey to finally make a matching set. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted May 27, 2023 Author Share Posted May 27, 2023 Green Bay Packers The Packers throw it back to their undefeated and championship winning season in 1929. The colors get swapped with the teams current colors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted May 28, 2023 Author Share Posted May 28, 2023 Houston Texans So the Houston Texans have never really changed their uniforms so what I decided to do is use another Houston Texans team as the base; the short lived Houston Texans of the WFL. While they didn't even last an entire season it's something different for the Texans to do rather than a simple color swap of what is essentially still their uniforms. The WFL Texans used green and yellow as their colors so they are swapped with the current Texans colors. I put the WFL Texans logo on the helmet, but it could easily be swapped with the current team logo if legalities were to arise. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted May 29, 2023 Author Share Posted May 29, 2023 Indianapolis Colts So the Colts kind of get the Toronto Maple Leafs treatment in the sense that grey is used as a color that they've used before, but barely. I took the Colts 1955 look from their days in Baltimore mainly because it's one of the few looks they've had that looks destinctly different from their uniforms that they've essentially had for decades. I swap the main jersey color with aforementioned grey and blue pants are added. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted June 10, 2023 Author Share Posted June 10, 2023 Jacksonville Jaguars Sorry I haven't posted for awhile I have been busy for a bit. but here is Jacksonville. For the Jags I went with their 1999 uniforms and swapped their gold color to the main color. I think it works pretty well 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted June 14, 2023 Author Share Posted June 14, 2023 Kansas City Chiefs The Chiefs were a hard one for me as most of their uniforms have had very little variety in them. So what I did was go with their 1966 uniform, as it was one of the more visually different uniforms, and then instead of going with yellow as the main color I swapped in black as it is techincally one of the team colors and is something that fans have been asking for awhile. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
