The next meeting this year will have the Jags in their completely different uniform set, and the Lions will be due for a change in the not-too-distant future. They probably would have updated their logo either way, but I wonder if the Jags would have kept the teal sheen to the helmet, and perhaps some of the uniform design elements, had they had success in that set. It would be great if they had those teal-in-the-sunlight ones still instead of the two-toned abortions they wear now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnysama Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 While I cannot find a pic, the first-year Orlando Magic met the last year of the 'stars-and-stripes' New Jersey Nets in their first game ever in 1989; the Nets changed their look after that season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad you can't find a pic of it - that'd be really cool to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Patriots finally figure to come to Tampa again in 2017. EDIT: Scratch that - 1997 was the last year at Tampa Stadium, so the Pats have never played a regular season game at Raymond James. So 2017 would be the first time for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kramerica Industries Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 The Giants and Dolphins had a quirk like that last year too that ended when they met for Monday Night Football around Week 13 or 14. I think the Giants hadn't come to Miami since 1993; they, too, had a would-be meeting in Miami in 2007 that was at Wembley instead. I'm sure there are a few other quirks like that; quirks that pre-date the post-2002 scheduling alignment. I don't have the interest in digging into it ATM, but just a quick look at the London games, which were originally inter-conference but that has kinda softened in recent years, could probably unearth a few 15+ year gaps of one team visiting the other's stadium, I imagine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChicagoOakland Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I just thought of one: Bucks-Kings this past season. First year of the new Bucks set, last year of the Kings' old set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin7218 Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 I know this is completely off-topic, but I had to post it. I was looking up pictures of Eagles-Jets in 1996 (First year of midnight green for the Eagles, and last year of kelly green for the Jets). I couldn't find any good pictures of the game, but I did find the picture below. It's Brian Dawkins wearing #24 in the preseason of his rookie year in 1996. As a huge Eagles fan, it's weird seeing Dawkins in anything other than #20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
