darkhaha Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Here's a site that has a bunch of 1994 Throwback photos so you can actually see them in action.As a uniform geek, I really enjoyed that year because it was fun to see all the different throwback sets. However, it was also maddening to see all the errors. I've never understood why it's so difficult to do a little research and try to accurately replicate the older style. And teams such as the Cowboys, Bills and Jets that didn't even bother to use the right color helmets really drove me crazy.Here are my favorites:1. Broncos, because I'm a homer (D'OH!) and despite the fact they didn't use the original sans-serif font2. Oilers, because I'm an old-time AFL fan3. Chargers, ditto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 And teams such as the Cowboys, Bills and Jets that didn't even bother to use the right color helmets really drove me crazy.I think that was a safety issue. They didn't break in two sets of helmets, so they just removed/changed the decals on the current helmets. That's why the Packers wore a green facemask with their blue and gold throwback uniforms.Nowadays, they take the throwback helmets to training camp and the players break them in along with the regular ones.

BBV, you're right - the font used for the '94 Pats throwbacks wasn't the number font (my favorite number font in sports) used back in 1965, the year they "threwback" to. Probably the only discrepency, though, but a beautiful uni set nonetheless. A large cheese pizza, just for me.New England's source for soccer newsAnd hey, I made it to ESPN!

ShinyHubCaps Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 The problem with the Chargers is that they often wear something similar to that. I think they added the light blue in their new set and changed to white helmets just to show off that general look more frequently. Even at that, they often wore the throwbacks the years prior to the change.So it's lost its magic, at least for me to see it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSky Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 Faves:1. Saints2. Chargers3. Patriots4. Rams5. SeahawksDitto the silver numbers on the Raiders' white, and a vote for having gold numbers on the Saints' white. They need a thicker black outline though for visibility.A fine tribute to the '76 Bucs...the pic used to showcase the '94 throwbacks is their QB getting sacked.

winters in buffalo Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 (4) BroncosI love that jersey. That would work well today.Indeed, that was a great looking jersey. But.... holy crap, that helmet!I was at the Monday Night game that year when the Bills hosted the Broncos. Both teams should have burned their helmets after the game.
