Discontinued Raiders gear in the discount bin 

Interestingly, some teams actually began their existence with second hand uniforms.

 

The Chicago Cardinals (remember them) started out using old University of Chicago Maroons uniforms. The university had recently given up football. The ':cardinal" color was actually the faded red of the university jerseys.

 

The Denver Broncos start life with their infamous "Milk Duds" uniforms -- brown and mustard with vertically striped socks.. These uniforms had been used in a college all-star game in the 1950's. The uniforms were so hated by the fans that after a couple of years the tram held a public bonfire at which the uniforms were burned.

 

The Baltimore Colts (remember them) inherited their Blue and White scheme from the defunct Dallas Texans NFL franchise after purchasing that teams asseits and moving the team to Baltimore. The Colts moniker was retained from the old AAFL Baltimore Colts franchise (silver and Green unis)
