I thought I missed a memo when I saw the Falcons wearing red helmets today.
Turns out, the whole uniform was a throwback to 1966. They'll also wear these uniforms against Tampa in week 12. Why '66? That was the first year of the franchise. In the years since, the Falcons have had a dozen different uniforms (12?!?!?!?), resulting in this:
I am really looking forward to the Winter Classic this year on New Year's Day -- Flyers vs. Bruins in Fenway Park. The Flyers have unveiled their jersey for the game. This is the jersey the team wore from its inception in the late 60's to the early 80's. Here is how that compares to the regular jersey.
I'm actually a fan of the team's third/alternate jersey.
Heck, if the Flyers are going retro, and the game is outside, maybe they should bring back....
You can always count on the Univ. of Oregon to make things intersting on the uniform front. The Ducks opened the 2009 season with new uniforms....again.
Actually, that headline is a little misleading. I actually liked the uniforms worn by the Tennessee Titans and Buffalo Bills in last night's Hall of Fame game.
Both teams would be well served to go back to these uniforms - especially the Bills.
My only complaint, for both teams, is the logo on the helmets looked "flat."
My wife makes fun of me because my first observation anytime I watch any game is what uniforms each team is wearing - especially if it's something out of the ordinary (alternate uni's, reverse sweater night, etc.). Now, I get to bore all of you with my observations....
