MJWalker45 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Wait... what? Maybe you meant to post the version of the Dolphins unis that came right before the Oilers move to Tennessee, but these uniforms were in circulation together for quite some time. Using pro-football-reference, I was able to date this photo to November 17, 1996. Karim Abdul-Jabbar is the ballcarrier, and James Roberson is the defensive lineman on the ground.I thought this was a joke at first. I looked it up and much to my surprise it is not.The best part is he was a RB at UCLA. I remember a story that when he was given the name after converting his response was, "Do you know where I go to school"? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jp1409 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 In light of the new Milwaukee Bucks uniforms:2013-15 Bucks and PelicansAnd turns out this year ended up beingthe only time we saw the previous Bucks uniforms against the revamped Charlotte HornetsAm I the only one thinking these Hornets uniforms are a total swing and a miss?

C-Squared Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I know this isn't the specific spirit of the thread, but I find it interesting that Dan Marino and John Elway only met twice in the regular season in their entire careers - once in 1985 and not again until Week 16 in 1998.

johnnysama Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 This is a rare, more recent matchup; these two styles (Blues original RBK Edge jereys/Stars new-style jerseys) only met up for several times in the 2013-14 season before the Blues tweaked their design.

C-Squared Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 2000-2001 were the only years these unis clashed.Those Bills unis = top 5 ever IMO Quote My TeePublic Shop My Instagram Art Page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Squared Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Another gem from 1998; second year of the Nikefied Broncos set, and the penultimate year of the Phil Simms/LT-era Giants togs.Also a classic game - Denver's bid for a perfect season died in a major upset.

fouhy12 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Here's one: Patriots at Cardinals, 2004. It was the last year before the modern uniforms for the Cardinals and the only time their classic uniforms met the modern Patriots. 1 Quote fouhy12's NFL Concepts 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White numbers with a teal outline would be nice but other than that not really.This and pinstripes, getting rid of the weird single side panel, changing the collar.

C-Squared Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 The Music CIty Miracle game is so iconic that the Titans home vs. Bills away unis don't seem like a "rare matchup" image, even though it only happened once... the rematch week 1 in 2000 (my first NFL game in person!) feels less familair... the only time the Titans whites met the Flutie/Johnson era home uni's: Quote My TeePublic Shop My Instagram Art Page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Squared Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Anyone seen this NFL vs CFL page?http://www.mmbolding.com/BSR/Candian_Football_League_vs_National_Football_League.htmThe NFL vs. CFL series was a regular thing back in the day, but promptly cancelled after the Bills became the only NFL team to lose to a CFL team when Hamilton won by 17 Quote My TeePublic Shop My Instagram Art Page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan33 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Surprised nobody was upset about the Bucks ditching Red from the colour scheme... Especially in light of how long it was used and the championship team behind it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnysama Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 The Reebok-engineered new-look Seahawks met the old-style Atlanta Falcons for the only time in 2002, two years before the Falcons changed their uniform.
