BlueSky Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 idk if this belongs here but look at the facemask that canty is wearingdoes anyone need that many bars on their facemaskNo. But it does look bad-ass...Reminds me of the grill of a truck. If they could put a die cast "NY" in the middle, that would be pretty awesome.Looks like Rickey Jackson back in the day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njmeadowlanders Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I also noticed that Seattle had non-painted endzone backgrounds. Just the plain green fieldturf. IDK if this is new for this year, but I recall them filling it in blue as recently as that Tony Romo game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 The Bears should always wear their navy pants with their white jerseys, but I think the navy pants would look better if they changed the striping to white-orange-white.This is so obvious I don't know why the Bears have been wearing their navy blue pants the way they are for as long as they have. Firstly, you need to look no further than the three middle stripes on the sleeves and socks of their white road uniforms. Those stripes are white-orange-white outlined by two navy blue stripes just as the pants stripes should be. It makes no sense for them to be orange-white-orange when nothing else on their uniforms follows this scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cujo Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 The Bears should always wear their navy pants with their white jerseysAgreed.Speaking of the Bears.... Did anyone else notice Jay Cutler had on long sleeves last night? The game-time temperature was 79°! Dick Butkus would be so proud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Pats wearing their throwbacks right now. Damn I hate these jerseys. The problem with a lot of these AFL throwbacks are that the current NFL teams chose to throwback to their early days when the uniforms, like the teams, were in their toddler stage. It took a few years before these uniforms reached their best look. They had to go through a few alterations and small changes. The Patriots are a good example as their uniforms had all of their elements come together in synchronized fashion in the early 80's. Wear those, or wear the uniforms with the blue tri-corner hat from year one, but don't wear the weak version of your classic look. The Oilers are another good example. The light blue helmets that the Titans are wearing this season look pretty good, but isn't it the general consensus around these parts that the team should've thrown back to the silver helmets and pants or the Earl Campbell/Warren Moon uniforms we all came to love? I love that the Broncos are throwing back to their first season, and I think that all the AFL teams should go back to 1960 as well so then we wouldn't have this jumbled mix. I also think the Bengals and Dolphins should be included, but that's mostly for my own selfish interests so I can see the Bengals in their old plain-jane orange helmets. Maybe when their 50th season rolls around then I'll get to see the Bengals in 1968 throwbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infrared41 Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Pats wearing their throwbacks right now. Damn I hate these jerseys. Love the helmet but otherwise (and considering how old school I am I can't believe I am about to say this) their current set just looks much much better. The Patriots current helmet is just boring as hell. On the other hand, The Bills look great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The white numbers outlined in orange are just a case of the Bears following normally accepted number outling protocol, which is to have white numbers outlined in your secondary color. Besides, The navy pants aren't meant to be worn with the blue jersey. They're designed for the white jersey, but with my prefferred stripe they would look better with the blue jersey than they do now. Everything else on the uniforms from the stripes on the white jersey and white socks to each individual set of stripes on the blue jersey and socks to the helmet logo all follow the same white-orange-white striping scheme. The numbers are the only exception and I've already explained that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tBBP Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Not necessarily a "uniform" note, per se, but a note all the same.You see where we got throwbacks for the Patriots...throwbacks for the Bills...heck--even the officiating crew done went throwback. (By the way, I applaud the NFL for going at least almost all-out for this.) We got all this throwback flair going on in Gillette Stadium tonight. Lovely.Why the FLYING ELVIS painted at midfield though???Just throw the whole balance off. And it's distracting the hell out of me. *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...

Brave-Bird 08 Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 the Patriots shoulder stripe is cut funny on some of the jerseys. I noticed on Randy Moss'the stripes cut off on a slant, making the outermost blue stripe sliced down to almost a point...hard to explain in words, but hopefully someone finds a pic. once you notice it, it will bother the heck out of you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTank Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Dear Buffalo BillsLook in the mirror that is a beautiful uniform.

Billy B Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 The Bills throwbacks are good, much better than their current uniforms. I just think that there are too many striping inconsistencies to be used as a new uniform. Fix the striping up, update the logo a little, and they will have themselves a great uniform.

Old School Fool Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I love the Raiders look, although I thought they were going with the black ones tonight (which wouldve SUCKED) but they're wearing white at home again for the 2nd time ever, last year being the first.

winters in buffalo Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I love the AFL throwbacks. Both games tonight look great. I would have loved to see the rules go out the window and see the Bills in blue vs the Pats in red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
