Yeah, for like a millisecond in the history of football. Haha. Good thing they changed their name, because Tennessee Oilers doesnt make sense. Just like Los Angeles LAKERS

I don't particularly care for the Vikings and Chargers new jerseys. Though none of the standard jerseys are really all that bad, but man are some of the alternates some teams use ******* ugly.

I wish the Packers would use this throwback every now and then.
I've always liked that look for some reason.

This thread begins and ends with Minny.
My top fav are Buffalo, Green bay, Chicago ( weird), and Browns.

I like how a lot of teams have started using them and black shoes. It's how it used to be, back in the day.

Didn't think I'd get this many responses, if so, I would've made a bigger list.

I hate the giants uniforms, they are the ugliest things ever. Worst football uniforms at any level. I dont care if they are classic, I guess you like the tradition of being ugly as hell.

If there are a couple teams that I think need a uni change the list would consist of Jax, Cleveland, something about Denver, and St. Louis. Just cant stand those uniforms.
BTW, Green Bay has the best uniforms in football. Classics. Theyre simple and easy on the eyes. Wont get them confused for anyone else.

How can you not like these unis?

I love those jerseys. And the grey pants with the blue and red running down the side are just money.
Hell the away jerseys are pretty money to

Our throwbacks are easily the most beautiful uniforms in the history of sports.

Team names that don't make sense... Toronto Raptors. How long have dinosaurs been extinct? Annnddd you still name a basketball team the Raptors. The Bobcats sucks, its not even real and if it was why would it be in Charlotte? Why did Washington go from Bullets to Wizards? Bullets has much more relevance to the DC area. And the Cleveland Browns. Racist much?

It's not like you're staring at a green and yellow wall. You're watching a TV with people wearing green jerseys and yellow pants on a football field. It's easy on my eyes when you take it in small doses. I don't recommend you stare at a green and yellow wall. You're over exaggerating the combination of green and yellow.

First of all, raptors are birds, not dinosaurs. Bobcats are real, they are lynxes. They inhabit most of the continental united states.
I agree with you on the bullets, but that is why the owner changed it.
And for the last time, the Cleveland Browns are named after Paul Brown!

What you just said, is one of the most insanely idiotic things I've ever heard. At no point, in your rambling, incoherent respose, were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may god have mercy on your soul.

As informative as your post may be, I'm not quite sure the ownership was going for the bird part in the logo but more so the informal term to refer certain dinosaurs. And, what relevance does a Raptor have to Toronto? You got me on the Bobcats in terms of origin and what not but my point was that the team name sucked. I know where they got the name Browns. Obviously I was kidding with the Browns being a racist team name, and I was going for the overall rant comedy in the post rather than being correct. Didn't know I was going to encounter a biologist.
