Sodboy13 Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 The whole look is unsightly, and will not part me from a cent of my money, but I agree that's it's nice to see them get it pretty much as accurate as current standards allow.

Harmening Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 They need to get the equipment manager to take steel wool to all of the helmets to take the shine off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 The back of the jersey looks a little too New York Titans for me, but what are you gonna do. It's an interesting novelty. It'll be fun to see once and then never again. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elsephen Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 It's going to look pretty terrible.The jersey itself is ok. The helmet, pants, and jersey don't go at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aawagner011 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 How did they get away with no shoulder/sleeve numbers? I thought that became an NFL rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 A person would look really silly walking around in a replica of this jersey. While it will be cool to see them on the field once, just for the novelty aspect, I have a feeling these will be a failure as a merchandising tool.

andrewharrington Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 The jersey itself is ok. The helmet, pants, and jersey don't go at all.They're not supposed to. In 1929, the helmet (if the player even wore one) had one purpose: to protect the head. The pants, they had two purposes: to conceal the genitalia and protect the legs. Different era.1. I hope these are worn with full length blue socks (no white showing). 2. I would have loved to see the NFL make an exception and allow the front numeral to remain in a 5" circle. 3. I also agree the helmet should be a little less shiny. Not flat, because smooth leather has a little shine, but a dull matte would have been nice. The shine, though, is part of the helmet's function, as it reduces the friction during a hit and allows the helmet to better deflect the impact of the blow.Overall, though, great throwback.

Lights Out Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I would buy one... they are a little classic for my tastes, but the circular container for the front number is too unique to pass up. And I don't even like the Packers! POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmackman Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Jersey close ups I like it for what it is. I wouldn't buy one, and I don't think they're good looking. However, I like what they're trying to do, and I like the fact that they got it right as far as details. I wonder what games they'll wear them for. I'll bet the Chicago game. I guess we won't know until the schedules are released. Not sure when that is though. "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up.

jhans203 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Here is a pic of the whole uniformAs much as the flow of the uniform doesn't go with today's standards, especially the helmets, one just has to pretend those helmets are leather. Once you see that you really appreciate the look a lot more. I hope a Chicago or New York plays against them in an era appropriate look. That would be awesome.

walkerws Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 That's not a bad idea mcrosby. It's usually just turtle wax that hte Equipment guys slap on them. If they had painted the old ones gold tho, they should have done the same here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 If they had painted the old ones gold tho, they should have done the same here.Brown leather is appropriate for this period - the Packers didn't start painting their helmets gold until the late 1930s.

dennisbergan Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Those are the best looking throwembacks I have seen created for 2010. I hope all teams trot out goofy, "not sure who the hell that team is" threads and make your football fall even more enjoyable!Throwback fever! Catch IT!!!
