John in KY Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Is the throwback helmet painted with a non-metallic paint, or it it just the lighting (or lack-thereof)?Looks that way...I'd say yes if staying true to history like the Vikings did by using their duller-darker purple helmet with their throwbacks last year.Once again, referencing official specs:The Purple used in the Vikings' throwbacks was the same as used in the regular unis.I believe bigdub81 was referring to the difference in finish - the duller purple "appears" darker than the metallic finish the Vikings currently use due to the reflective nature of the finish - much like the current "dazzle"/spandex textiles appear brighter or a different shade than the earlier Sand-Knit type mesh fabric.Also it's interesting to see the evolution of silver helmet paint between the Raiders' throwback and their current helmet - they are both "metallic" (have to consider any silver paint "metallic") but the modern helmet has either larger "flakes", more brilliant/reflective "flakes", or a combination of the two.

Saintsfan Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Not exactly what we're looking for but still relevant to the thread. Mark Sanchez in a Mets jersey, Jets cap throwing out the first pitch at Citi Field.There is a guy who doesn't look like he has changed his cap for about 72 hours our so. I am quite liking Mark Sanchez as a guy at the moment. He seems like one of those guys who appreciates he is living the dream. Good luck to him. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSky Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 NFLShop.com has never been this fast to get the numbers. Guess they finally figured out they were losing sales while they jacked around waiting to get the number assignments.Weird thing about the Saints - you seldom see pics of their draftees with jerseys.

No pics yet.I'm suprised he's going with #26 instead of trying to get #28 from S Keith Lewis...any significance in #26?

But, I think most of us know what'll end up coming out of him..and I for one am actually amped up to see what's gon come of Miami's wildcat this year and beyond (which is funny considering no part of me is a Dolfan thanks to my uncle).On an entirely different note...has anyone else noticed "6" has been the en vogue QB number for at least the past two or three years now? First Jay Cutler and the one cat from Clemson (both of were #6 while in college), now to Mark Sanchez and Pat White (and I know I'm missing a few). All this after not having seen a prominent #6 QB in the NFL since, who, Bubby Brister??? *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Booker gives up 25, or someone with a cooler number gets cut.

Sabrejeff Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Nice to see that the WR will be wearing traditional WR numbers!Why wouldn't they? Wide receivers can only wear numbers in the traditional 10-19 and 80-89 ranges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
