Perhaps they have a third helmet coming out that they haven't shown us yet? They might. As a team changing uniforms this year, the Jets are eligible for a third helmet. But I would think they would have shown a fourth jersey with the others along with an additional helmet based on the Broncos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Providence Steam Roller. Regardless, I like that name, and used it (the way you wrote it) for a team I made in Baseball Mogul. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jws008 Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 It's funny, but the Patriots' reputation was so bad at the point that all those changes came to pass, that I can remember my high school friends (me included), mocking the Flying Elvis logo as being derived from Sentry Hardware logo, so much so that we sometimes called them the Sentry Hardware Patriots. Yeah, we knew it wasn't an exact match, but Elvis looked to us like he could have been descended a few generations from that old store's branding.

Question for New Englanders: was this logo release/burying memory holed? It seems fairly obvious that elvis was a "back to the drawing board" version of this a short 15 years later... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, I like that name, and used it (the way you wrote it) for a team I made in Baseball Mogul. I've seen it both ways. Their Wiki page uses a couple different forms (Steam Roller, Steam Rollers, Steamroller, Steamrollers), so I don't know which one would have been the official name for the NFL team. I do know that there is a minor league basketball team that currently uses Providence Steamrollers as their name, so I guess that's why I went that way with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian in Boston Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 17 hours ago, The_Admiral said: The Boston sports market up through the early '90s, where you had three successful and well-established teams in the other sports and then this weird unpopular screwup halfway to Providence, which was the NFL team, will always be so quaint to me. "Quaint" is the perfect word to sum up the pre-Patriots Dynasty Boston sports market. The Patriots were "50 pounds of stupid in a 5-pound bag" for most of their first 33 seasons of existence. Just six total trips to the playoffs from 1960 through 1992, once in the AFL and five times in the NFL. While they did manage to make it to the 1963 AFL Championship and Super Bowl XX, they received a shellacking in each game: 51-10 at the hands of the Chargers, 46-10 courtesy of the Bears. Billy Sullivan and his progeny were woefully out of their depth operating a professional sports franchise. Always one step ahead of the bill-collectors, or so it seemed. God bless 'em. In retrospect, it's a testament to their audacious self-confidence that they managed to keep the team afloat as long as they did. Lord knows that Victor Kiam's tenure as owner had most Pats fans pining for the "good ol' days" of Billy's stewardship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't like that uniform combo in large part because it had so little green and it felt shoehorned in. I'm sure I'm not alone on that. I hate the "black for black's sake" expression, but that was the best way to describe the Jets the last few years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chakdaddy Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 I probably missed guardian cap discussion. They seem inevitable and a no-Brainer, pun semi intended. Interestingly their aesthetic reminds me of leather helmets and will work well with 1930s throwbacks 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
