Just how far back does it need to go to be considered classic?




These were the Falcons' regular uniforms until 2003 and they've been worn as a throwback/classic for awhile now.

ETA: These should still be their regular home uniforms.

If these teams want to go retro look, I suggest the two bar helmet with the uniform

Similar to the Bills. Pulled a massive chokejob in their first SB and just got beat by better teams in their other 3 appearances.



yup, the Vikings are never shitty though.

I can't remember a time when they were absolutely terrible.

Started watching NFL around 1989.

I actually like the Falcons old school red helmet with the silver pants.

I don't like Goodell. But I can respect not whoring out the league with hideous jersey ads.

On the Vikings classic, the facemask design pushes the logo too far back. The modern helmets with holes all over the place make the logos look awkward.

Will they end up modifying the logos?

Agree. Their current uniform and the one before is just awful.

they aren’t that much different


Vikings current uniforms are subtly different from the throwback in the following ways:

1. Different sleeve striping
2. Different pant striping
3. Different jersey name font
4. Different jersey number font (and the 2s numbers are depending on whether the number is on the left or on the right)



5. No outline around the numbers on the current jersey, but an outline around the numbers on the throwbacks. Of course, the 1970s-to-mid-90s numbers did not have outlines.
6. Vikings wordmark on the jersey, a detail so small it’s barely worth mentioning. But it is different.

The current uniform is fine. But like I said, the throwback uniform looks better.

An alternative to common sense and good taste maybe.

Colts just killed the momentum of the last few alternate releases.
