Blue Falcon Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 So we have the Texans and the Chiefs with a Texans throwback.And we have the Titans and the Jets with a Titans throwback.I see no reason why the Ravens shouldn't wear a Browns throwback.Well first off, the Chiefs and Jets are throwing back to completely different Texans and Titans organizations.And secondly, the Ravens split into a new organization (whether that's liked or not), so they technically can't throwback to something they never were.Thirdly, the Browns were not an original AFL team anyway...Where's the love for the old AAFC? 2006 was their 60th anniversary. There wasn't any hype for the Browns and 49ers. GrrThat one would have been a challenge to pull off, considering only three teams survived the AAFC to merge into the NFL. If the Seahawks played the Dolphins, who would wear the unis of the Miami Seahawks...Seattle or Miami? The Giants would have to suit up as the Yankees, the Bears as the Hornets/Rockets, maybe the Jets as the Dodgers, and no one as the Los Angeles Dons.The only one that truly would work would be the Buffalo Bills suiting up as...the Buffalo Bills.

BBTV Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Sounds good to me. I love those uniforms:Those were the Eagles first uniforms (sort of), but I'm not sure that they were inherited from the Frankford team. I haven't found any evidence that the Yellowjackets wore those. Most of the images I've found show jerseys with a FYJ crest, and / or sleeves with lots of horizontal stripes.

patsox Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Sounds good to me. I love those uniforms:The Eagles should just switch to those uniforms full time. Period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 When they unveiled those uniforms, they said those were the Yellow Jackets' colors. Looking at Donovan's site I'd tend to doubt it.Still, I don't think that Philadelphians would be offended by a Frankford throwback, seeing that Frankford is a neighborhood in Philadelphia and all.
