According to ESPN.com...

Apparently, the Patriots will be wearing their throwbacks FOUR times this season. Awesomeness.

Fantastic news. This means they have to be wearing the whites at LEAST once, right?

That's the hope. :D

interesting Dallas will be wearing their throw backs against KC.

So we got the Dallas Cowboys vs. Dallas Texans and Old Titans vs. Houston Oilers.

Does this mean Dallas will wear a white throwback against KC, and the blue one against the Raiders? One can hope.

Hopefully this will be official soon.

My wonder is what will Miami wear? Will they go with an old-school look or will they have a modern look?

I believe Miami (and Cincy for that matter) will not participate as they were not AFL charter members.

So I'd expect them in their current uniforms.

No, Dallas will be wearing blue in both games.

Hey all: Just some news, the AFL 50 Hats have been put on the NFL Shop store. Not so bad, except very annoying Reebok mark. Nice AFL patch on the back and no annoying Mesh/Plastic/Velcro/Stripes/Contrast Stitching. It's just a hat. Will probably pick one of these up.

annoying reebok mark? what else would "reebok" put there? a nike swoosh or adidas 3 stripes?? or maybe even an under armor logo that would look cool...

Why did they show the Chiefs (Texans) throwbacks in red in the photos? Maybe it's one of those rare things where the NFL allows both teams to wear contrasting, non-white colors.

Any info?

Patsies come to Denver and the Broncos will be wearing whiz yellow, which to me suggests the Patsies will be in white.

Perhaps you're unaware that Reebok has a somewhat less-obtrusive logo they could have used:

Just as Nike uses the swoosh and Adidas the 3-stripe logo.

It wouldn't surprise me if the Pats wore red for the game, since one could say that red and yellow are enough of a contrast. I hope I'm wrong. I want to see the white throwbacks in the worst way.

I'd really doubt that they wear anything but white. They showed white jerseys at the coaches' meeting, the Broncos have a road white throwback, as do the rest of the original AFL teams. Why wouldn't they?

At the very least it's one more jersey to sell.

I am loving the fact that the referees will wear the orange-striped uniforms for the AFL games.

According to an NFL official quoted on UniWatch they will also have the sidelines set up like the AFL did.

What's the difference from the way it is in the NFL?

Also, I wonder how badly EA will utterly botch these unis in Madden NFL 10...

They were probably talking about sideline and endzone markings, not anything like location of harsh marks, which would affect the rules of play. But the Raiders, for example, used black and silver rhomboid (diamond) patterns in the end zones, and the hash marks were in the form of black diamonds.

Also, didn't the Raiders have the yard-line numbers inside shield shapes, IIRC? I wonder if that would be possible for throwback games?

Wonder if the football will look like this.
