hockey week Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jmvaoHZTV4I was really impressed by this commercial, that started off with the Canton Bulldogs, has really early Giants, Packers, Eagles, Rams, and so on. I was wondering if some of the bigger early-football uniform buffs could confirm that those looks were correct (the camera angles make most of those certainly look re-created, so that means they had to put effort into it). Thoughts? I'll respect any opinion that you can defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illwauk Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Not sure how accurate the Packers uniforms were at 0:23 (I don't think the helmets or pants had stripes... :paging Gothamite: ), but I honestly wouldn't care if they wore throwbacks based on that look because that shade of gold is gorgeous!

illini1 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 It looks like they have Deion Sanders in a red and black Falcons uniform with white pants. I may be wrong, but I don't think Deion played for the Falcons in those uniforms. He wore the black and grey uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be wrong, but I don't think Deion played for the Falcons in those uniforms. He wore the black and grey uniforms.I was thinking about that too as I saw it. I don't think he wore that uniform, either.Even still, such a cool commercial. Really enjoyed watching it, I love timeline commercials like those. The opinions I express are mine, and mine only. If I am to express them, it is not to say you or anyone else is wrong, and certainly not to say that I am right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he wore that uniform, either.Even still, such a cool commercial. Really enjoyed watching it, I love timeline commercials like those.Deion had one season in the red helmet, red jerseys (1989). But the Falcons wore silver pants with that set, and after viewing it again, it looks like silver pants in the commercial.The biggest flaw is Devin Hester playing against the Vikings in the Vikes' late 90s/early 2000s set. Hester was drafted in 2006, the year the Vikings switched to their current set. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

Derek94 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I think the ad shows him in silver pants. Would be accurate if that's the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sacker12 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Also, if I'm not mistaken, the LA Rams should still be in navy and white in the era depicted, not navy and yellow. Also, the Cowboys in the Denver clip were wearing royal blue standard full block numbers, while the clip of Landry on the sidelines showed the navy serifed numbers that the Cowboys wore in the 1970s.

Also, that game is supposed to represent the 2000's, which would be fine uniform wise, but then the commercial ends there, so it gives the impression that it is current. They should have ended with a current matchup for the 2010's. @josh_j12 CFA- Fargo Bobcats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSU151 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Not gonna lie...when the commercial first began, I thought it was a Nike commercial, getting us ready for the new generation of uniforms.

Captain Poncho Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 They botched the Broncos' pants, utterly and horribly. Not even close to accurate.Socks, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
