Throw Out the Throwback Uniforms

[boogielicious]

Let me start by saying that I have always been a fan of the Steelers and Packers uniforms.  The have great style, color and are instantly recognizable.  But for God's sake, please burn the throwback uniforms.

The Steelers throwback looks like a colorblind 'Where's Waldo' outfit.

The Packer throwback looks like they got the jersey at an after Xmas sale at Walmart and had the helmets left over from a local High School team.

I hate them too.

It's cool in hockey. Not cool in football.

Pirates on sailing ships ships use to wear shirts like the old Steeler tops. The Steelers started out as the Pittsburg Pirates. There's that connection. The Packers throw back shirts were the norm way back when for most teams I think. They were originally known as the ACME Packers.

Me , I personally like them.  Breaks up monotony a little.

I think it was cool the first time they did it.  But that was it.  Wait another 10 years (or more) and then do it again, but stop doing it every year.  It's played out.

Except the Chargers ... by all means, wear the baby blues at least once every year.

The Packer's are beginning to grow on me, especially after last night! :-D

I actually like the Packer throwback uniforms.  Better than the yellow and white anyway.

The packers one is the worst thing I've ever seen. They have skin colored pants. Why

I'm not a fan of the throwback uniforms either, I'd say limit them to special occasions only.

I think we should all stop complaining and look at the bright side:

At least they haven't tried to do throw- forward jerseys yet.  Am I right???

I like them!

That link sets a record for "most 90s thing in history."

I sort of like throwbacks, but the Steeler and Packer ones are two of the worst choices possible.

The thing is that good football shirts almost never change. My ole Bengals are an exception. I like the rare occasion when they go retro. Back before the faux Bengal strips, they had simple, clean, classic unis.

Occasionally, hockey screws it up. Remember the Habs sweaters with the thin red, white and blue horizontal lines. Looked like a bleeding rainbow. I also thought the Bruin shirts with the teddy bear on the front were pretty funny.

Agree, and I am a Bruins Fan. The Habs jersey is iconic.
