SoxSteeler Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Should be a good game. I was wondering if the Bolts would pull those out for the MNF stage. It will be the first game in whites for the Steelers this year including preseason. I think they made it to week 7 last year before wearing them. http://chargers.com/news/headline_detail.cfm?news_key=2347 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
655321 Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Sweet. If I win the lottery tomorrow, I'd buy the Chargers and change their uniforms to powder blues. Not bring back the throwbacks as their full time uniform, but keep the exact same design they have right now only replace the navy blue with powder blue. Beautiful.

gbasalmon Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 I'm not sure if you can put much stock in graphics like this, but the graphic that MNF has with the big computer animated players crashing into each other had the Chargers player in the throwbacks...

Moser316 Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Good. Let them have their fun and get it out of their system. This way, we can go back to the real Chargers uniforms for their next 11 games this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-kj Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Except that nearly every team has numbers on their helmet.

I can't think of anybody else in the NFL who currently does it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 I don't know - I think the numbers on the Steelers' helmets are pretty prominent.If no other team puts them on the side, that's because the Chargers' helmets are unique in their design and that's the only place they could put them. I don't think that detail makes the Chargers' throwbacks look any more bush-league than the stripe on the Broncos' helmets makes them look bush-league. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

Sure, they're displayed up front, but they're not as prominent as the number below the lightning bolt on the Chargers helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CZzyzx41 Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 As long as they only wear them once a year I don't mind. I love the helmets personally. I just am not a big fan of the powder blue. The white on white is nice though. Wouldn't mind seeing that every now and then. The numbers on the side of the helmets isn't much worse than Alabama U. In fact I think it looks better.There are plenty of teams with bush-league looks. Bengals shoulder stripes, Broncos stripe, Seahawks all blue, Cardinals weird new unis, new Giants whites, etc. This certainly isn't among the worst of them. -DanielCheck Out My Podcast!

Anyone else see the irony in this statement coming from a guy with a powder blue and yellow Minnesota Thunder logo in his sig? Why do numbers on the helmet make it look bush league?Let's just say, Mockba don't like bushleagues. Welcome to DrunjFlix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
