The powder blues are sweet.  

 

 

I was thinking the Oilers unis with the light blue helmets from the mid 60s.  The Titans were them several years ago.  They looked really good.

Their modern design (pre gigantic helmet logo) also aren't bad uniforms and a good color scheme

The Bucs helmet designs are ok.  It's the shirts I don't like - looks like the countdown clock in the scene from Predator where the predator blows himself up.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are...they've got an airplane hangar full of these jerseys unsold to fans.  Soon we'll be seeing kids in the third world wearing them, as the Steelers go for the humanitarian / tax write off play around the right side.

Best? Our Blue Jersey TB’s with the standing red buffalo on white helmet. (‘65 era)

How do you make this list and not put the chargers on it?

Steeler Bumblebees are like Hawaiian shirt Fridays

I think it was their primary 25 years ago but today the powder blue is their alternate unless they just changed recently 

 

you might be right that it was their real jersey back in the day

You’re correct.

 

They wear their modern powder blues as their alternates twice a year. Primary dark uniforms are the navy blues and they have a color rush option with yellow numbers.

Seattle Mariners throwforwards.  Worse than bumblebees.

1980 Buffalo Bills

Why does the OP always put an asterisk next to the Pat's name?

Is he trying to say because they cheat that their name should always have an asterisk?

 

 

Also:

-powder blue chargers

-bright blue/yellow Rams

-red/white standing Buffalo Bills

-old school dolphins

-falcons 

-broncos

Yes, and has been the custom on TSW since Spygate

That's what I was thinking.

I haven't been here since spygate so I was just guessing.

I chuckled when I figured it out though.

Would definitely like to see Buffalo put together 90s era throwbacks but the NFL has that (*^*&%^$^#rule that doesn't allow teams to use more than one helmet per season. 

Expand  

how do the *Pats do it?  their throwbacks are white, regular helmets are silver?

[mrags]

I feel dirty but I do love the throwback Pats jerseys. 

 

On topic tho, I wish the Bills would wear the 90s one of these days instead of the white standing buffalo. Miss the red helms and light blue.

Fair question. Turns out the Pats haven't worn the white helmets in a while due to the rule change in 2013.

 

Here's an article from March 2017 about throwbacks and whatnot. Apparently the Eagles proposed a rule change to allow different colored helmets during the season. I'm not sure what came of that proposal but I assume it got shot down since we haven't seen any teams don their throwbacks with a different colored helmet. 

[Big Gun]

Chargers and Raiders throwbacks are my favs.

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

Rams with the bright yellow instead of the more muted (am I using that correctly) Gold. Even worse will be when they get rid of the yellow/gold altogether from their color scheme and just go blue and white. 

I have this theory that sports teams in the mid 90s-2000s or so purposfully went with ugly jerseys/logos/color schemes, so that when they brought them back, fans would love it and merch sales would increase. Just to name a few off the top of my head:

 

• Sabres
• Bills
• Astros
• Penguins
• Capitals
• Blue Jays
• Orioles
