Don't be fooled into replying, I am either a lesson in Poe's Law or incredibly fucking stupid, or both. Also I can't read charts and graphs and think image macros about Paul Ryan's genius are fun and exciting! Run me over with Biden's Trans-Am!
That awful throwback jersey will be mine!

Is good taste something they couldn't afford during the depression?

I don't think jersey designs from that period really translate well into modern materials. I'm guessing from the design that the original jersey probably looked much closer to a rugby shirt. I'm a Steelers fan living in Pittsburgh, and I've only talked to one person who didn't think they were hideous so I can't imagine it will be a hot seller.

I guess the numbers were big patches that could be swapped on, which makes a bit more sense.

Why would you combine a polo with a football jersey? Why?

I don't think the Steelers understand that throwbacks are supposed to look at least not like vomit or something my 2 year old cousin thought up while staring at bees.

Also Denver needs a new logo they literally have a history of ugly logos and uniforms. They have never had a good one and watching Peyton Manning wear an unattractive jersey ruins my immersion.

Who gives a poo poo though? It'll be funny to watch because you just know they are going to wear them on a nationally televised game.

If I had to guess the Steelers will wear those throwbacks against the Redskins in October. The Redskins are having their 80th anniversary too, right?

It's like the emporer's clothes. Those uniforms would be beautiful on a team like the Texans or the Panthers who are actually likable.

Speaking of Chicago and throwbacks, apparently the Bears will be ditching their orange alternates and going with the 1940s throwbacks from last season as their alternate uniform.

This is the awesomest thing. And I'm not just saying that because I bought one of the throwbacks last season. I mean, we're replacing these ugly bastards:


With THESE:


...god, this offseason just keeps getting better. I'm going to go ahead and assume that Phil Emery was somehow responsible.

It looks like the throwbacks you will be using will have the correct number of stripes on the sleeves, too.

I actually didn't think the orange jerseys were that bad. As alternates, they were tolerable for me. But those throwbacks are just badass.

Things I want from the Giants Uniform:

1) Returning to the GIANTS on the helmets.

2) A throwback with the old school "Giant out of the stadium logo", replacing the Giant with Manningface

3) Replace the loving red uniforms with something less ugly holy poo poo.

whatjersey.com is already selling Nike knock-offs. I saw a Peyton Manning one there.

I'd stay away from the knock-offs this year, the real ones are being put together in Central America so I've got a feeling they're just going to take the leftover Reebok jersey materials and slap a swoosh on them.
