Krona Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 it seems like the NFL has no intention of pursuing the thanksgiving tradition throwbacks, but they did announce the schedule. joining the cowboys and lions will be the packers, jets, colts, and falcons. i'd be thrilled to see those teams suit up in old unis. discuss.....

floydnimrod Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Cowboys - the ones with the gianormous stars(maybe that's what distracted the Pro Bowl voters) on the shouldersLions - Blue jersey and the very gray pantsPackers - The ones they wore when Lombardi was there, wasn't Brett Favre the QB then, too?Jets - The Joe Namath days, meanwhile since the mention of him he has just looked me in the eyes and said, "I want to kiss you"Falcons - They will ruin the day in one of two ways, 1. wearing their current unis. 2. wearing the "Chris Chandler Era(yes he has an era)" jerseysColts - What can they change, the stripes on the pants?

sj32 Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Colts - What can they change, the stripes on the pants?They can go with the jerseys they wore against the Lions in 2004 (which looked like a 49ers jersey with blue trim instead of red) combined with the helmet with the horseshoes on the back.

Gothamite Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Jets should wear a NY Titans jersey!!I would love to see that.Short of returning my Packers to their classic navy and gold, that's the throwback that I'd really like to see.

rainmaker17 Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Cowboys - the ones with the gianormous stars(maybe that's what distracted the Pro Bowl voters) on the shouldersGod NO! The throwbacks are fine, the damn "double star" should have never seen the light of day. You do realize Jerry Jones' daughter designed those freaky uniforms. Enough said.I think the NFL needs to embrace the retro feel of Thanksgiving like they used to. Not only does it give the day a 'special' look, it also can't do anything but help retro merchandise sales. Win win I say.As far as the looks go....COWBOYS - current throwback, maybe a white version if the league allows.JETS - maybe the ugly Esiason era uni, the Namath one is too close to the current.LIONS - the bobby-socks, no-logo look (posted above). Never the black alt again!PACKERS - I'd go with the look they sported during the 75th anniversary games.FALCONS - Bartkowski era. RED baby!COLTS - what they wore a few years ago with the mini horseshoes on the back of the helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmoothieX Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Love the Lions in those unis.I think I'm in heaven.As for the Jets, NY Titans unis would be killer. Even the 1980s unis would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was an article a few weeks back that mentioned that the Jets wear going to wear Titans jerseys for a game this season, although it was assumed to be a home game. My only issue is for the rare occurence of the Jets playing on Turkey day I'd really like to see them in green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WideRight Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 When they do throwback, they should pick a year and all the teams should wear that year's uniform. Since all the teams selected for this year's Turkey Day were around in the 60's, my vote would be for the year the Jets wore those ludicrous "jet plane on the helmet" uniforms, or maybe a Titans year.

Mingjai Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Colts - What can they change, the stripes on the pants?Well, since you ask, I'd like to see the Colts go back to the striped socks full-time. If they're going to sport grey facemasks, they should at least have traditional socks as well.In my book, this--is better than this--Back to the topic--I agree with anyone who said the Packers should wear these: Visit my store on REDBUBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian E Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 while the titans unis for the jets should be sweet, i think you need to go with the ken o'brien days. no black trim though definitely, which they added in the late 90s before they went back to the current ones in 98. the green helmets need to be dusted off!!
