BrandMooreArt Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Yeah, the blue helmet that comes nowhere close to matching the rest of the uniform and those heat pressed numbers make that one awesome set.There's obviously some fixes to be made there, but I'm pretty sure the non-matching helmet was a relic from the days of molded plastic helmets coming in a few select colors that didn't match very well with royal blue. Teams that used royal blue (Rams, Giants, Bills) had to choose between either the bright pastel blue that the Broncos used, or navy. Neither matched, but navy was less egregious, so that was their pick.Regardless, the general design of the uniforms was appealing, and is linked to both the franchise's first ever Super Bowl appearance (1979) and their first ever Super Bowl title (1999). In fact, they wore those white jerseys in both.No offense, but I think the "they won with that look" logic is about the silliest argument in favor of a uniform that there is. Using the "they won with that look" logic, there is no reason (or good argument) for the Cowboys to ever change these...The Lions should wear these...The Browns look pretty much exactly like they should...And the Eagles have some changes to make...You get the idea. How a team performed in a uniform should have nothing to do with it. All that matters, or ever should matter, is whether or not the uniform looks good. And as we all know, what looks good is entirely subjective.i agree about 50% of the way there. the thing is people have an emotional connection to a uniform/logo at all times and when the team is successful it is strong. there is good memories tied to it. eventually if you dont keep your success on the field up, you end up like the Lions or the Eagles there and your design becomes irrelevant. the equity dries up and you have to re charge the culture and fan base. in the special cases of the Browns for example, thats just a good design (for those who dont agree just let me have it for the sake of the argument) that has no major flaws and has stood the test of time. the Eagles there have a horribly drawn wing on the helmet and quickly became dated. theres multiple reasons to change or not to change. its hard to do sometimes though when you're going from a uni/logo with great history tied to it into something new that fits the future. not all are brave enough to take the leap; sometimes you have to disconnect from the past and build that better future.

spartacat_12 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Well, technically, they also won in these classics:Classics? They're hideous with 4 giant stars. Looks obnoxious and something you'd see in a football version of a Harlem Globetrotters-like circus team that tours to entertain kids.I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic when he called them classics.I think the NHL should take a page out of the NBA's book and throwback to some of the more "unique" designs from the 90's. Some of them (Ducks' Wild Wing, Kings' Burger King, Lightning's storm) are a little too over-the-top, but I wouldn't mind seeing Robo-Penguin, the Sharks original teal uniform, or the Coyotes originals.

DustDevil61 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 While we're talking the Houston (and Tennessee) Oilers, this needs to be thrown back to soon:As for others:The whites have already been thrown back to (about 2004), but I wouldn't mind seeing either be thrown back to:Though the early 1980s green uniforms can come back any time. While the current alternate greens are perhaps my favorite of the current Jazz set (and near the top of any Jazz set IMO), I wished the old greens hung around for more than a year.Either the Dallas Stars or Minnesota Wild throwing back to these would be all right. Hopefully, if the Stars are getting new uniforms and logos, they should go for the D logo inspired by the North Stars' N and done by ColeJ.Hopefully, the Nationals some day will recognize their franchise history pre-2005. If the Tennessee Titans can do so, maybe there's hope after all. AKA @LanRovr0 on Twitter LED Sig Credits to packerfan21396 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lights Out Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic when he called them classics.I wasn't being sarcastic. I loved those uniforms - they were bold, brash, and over-the-top, which is COMPLETELY appropriate for the Dallas freaking Cowboys. Just switch to a simpler wordmark and those could be a great full-time set for the Cowboys right now. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead, the two groups learned to assimilate peacefully. However, certain tribes of the leprechaun refused to taint the pure blood and moved north into the forests of Ireland, only to be seen rarely, usually at the same time of a rainbows appearance and occasionally at the factories of Lucky Charms.

Nachos Rule Your Soul Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I want every NFL team to throw-back to last year's uniforms so we don't have to see those ugly Nike collars. Just do it, NFL, just do it. Follow my attempts to rid the world of the evil that is Laura Dern @LDisadirtbag.My dog Folsom has a Twitter that's nothing but pictures of him pooping and sharing what he likes @folsomcanpoop.If that's not enough, I have my own Twitter @DieZombieScum.

SmoothieX Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Road version too would be nice.I love the red numbers and how the stripes on the pants match the helmet. The current Pats look sucks.Tie dye is sooo underutilized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John in KY Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 According to gridiron database, these were used as throwbacks in 1994 but I can't find a picture.They were worn in 1994 (both home and road if I'm remembering correctly). There used to be a website that had photos of all the 75th Anniversary throwbacks but I can't find it anymore; I guess the owner took it down.

9erssteve Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 No offense, but I think the "they won with that look" logic is about the silliest argument in favor of a uniform that there is.I agree with you when weighing the merits of a full-time uniform set, but for a throwback, there's no sense in throwing back to a uniform that the team did nothing but lose in. The whole point of a throwback is to bring back good memories for the fans.Using the "they won with that look" logic, there is no reason (or good argument) for the Cowboys to ever change these...Well, technically, they also won in these classics:Eh techinically NO THEY DID NOT! The Cowboy busted out the one on the right in the NFC Championship game against the 9ers Jan 95 (see 75th anniversary patch on the shoulder) so they'd have something "flash" to wear for their "three-peat" and were then promptly schooled at Candlestick by the 49ers.On a side note tho, they were the first jersey's I ever remember seeing with the crest on the chest, something which is common practice now.9erssteve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
