[josh1068]

The Patriots have confirmed that they will wear the 1980s throwbacks on October 31 against Minnesota, and one other game, possibly at Detroit on Thanksgiving.

Hey, Dennis... how ya feel about this?

I love it.

I just hope all 32 teams get in on the act soon. Because the tired, played-out "throwback" craze that the NFL continues on, is really fresh and original. Seriously. Very original thinking from the NFL.

Wow, that was FAST!

For what it's worth, I'm in complete agreement with dennisbergan.

[oldschoolvikings]

Actually, last years throwback extravaganza was even too much for me.

In this case I am, just because I don't like the Patriots' throwbacks.

On throwbacks in general, I didn't mind last year's extravaganza. It was a special event, not the norm. I'm generally ok with throwbacks being busted out one or twice a season (though no more). Also, if a team wants to go with throwbacks one year, they should forfeit their alternate jerseys for the season.

I like the Patriots' throwbacks from the neck down. Or at least, I did when they wore them originally. I really do wish that teams would focus their efforts on creating new designs that fit the current NFL uniform template, rather than continually shoving the square peg of throwback looks into the round hole of sleeveless, skin-tight jerseys.

But hey, it keeps the cash registers ringing, so it's likely not going to stop any time soon.

Shoulder striping like the 80's Pats duds should work better w/ the modern template than stripes farther down the sleeve, like the Packers have.

Besides, Pat Patriot and the red duds are AWESOME.

Sigh...so the NFL is still on this throwback bull$h!t kick?

c'mon now, can we move on? Lets wear the regular unis for a season and get on with it.

Except then you'd have the people who totally hate everything "modern" and wish to see the revival of the "good old days" post here.

Will the Lions be breaking out the throwbacks (love that uniform) as well for Thanksgiving?

[JQK]

The people bitching about throwbacks are more annoying than the uniforms they bitch about annoying them...

I'm my own grandpa!

[oldschoolvikings]

I just read an article saying this would be a throwback to the 85 superbowl uni... not the same one as last year. Any confirmation?

Futurama's been on my mind all week. Who's ready for the new episodes!?

I don't see a current-styled NFL uniform that is better than what was worn in the late 80's-early 90's.

[Harmening]

Lions throwbacks (love that uniform)

Why?

I would say the Lions, Seahawks, Dolphins, Rams, Patriots, Eagles, Giants, Jets, and Titans look better now then they did in the late 1980s/early 90s.

Also, I would say the Cardinals, Falcons, and Saints have better logos now then they did then, even if their uniforms may be subpar when compared to the older designs.

[mania]

Wow, the only two I'd agree with on those are the Pats, Jets, and... maybe the Giants, and 2/3 of those are throwback-inspired designs.
