Throwbacks mentioned on PTI... and my observations on the Ralph

[Bill Brasky]

I just caught PTI on ESPN and somebody wrote in saying we should change back to the throwbacks permanently!!! Both of them agreed. I've been hearing this elsewhere... Do you think that if there is enough support they would permanently switch? I would personally be for it, they are the sweetest looking jersey's I've seen in a long time!

The Chargers game should be pretty awesome... they're wearing their throwbacks too, right?

The Ralph was jumpin yesterday as well. I've been to many games, and yesterday reminded me of a playoff-type atmosphere. It was electric! I think this is the year that the Ralph is returned to respectability as one of the toughest places to play.

I don't want to put too much stock into it. It was only the first game against Houston but damn, if that defense plays like that week in and week out, this team could go deep into the playoffs.

And for anybody wondering, the Rockpile is frickin nuts... it's like a ******* frat party! And the view, at least in my section, is perfect!

It's all good!

The throwbacks are so sweet they deserve 10 similar threads!

I kept seeing pictures online but until you see them in person you can't understand how rulin they look.

Our current unis look like it was rejected from a CFL team.

I'm all for re-instating the throwbacks.

Also, for the superstitious ones, we're undefeated in the new old (what?) uni's.

Ditto. We need a plan....everyone here should try to get on "Ask Donohoe" whenever possible....or at games if we get fans to sign a petition (or "request", I should say)....something. Our current unis suck.

Re: Throwbacks mentioned on PTI... and my observations on the Ralph

Yeah, but how realistic is it that they would actually revert? I'd venture to say slim to none, but there's always hope.

I agree, the current uniforms look like barf... at least they kept the red helmets and didn't update them like the Broncos did a few years back.

The jets and giants did it, but unless Ralph wants it, it won't happen.

I'd love to see them be the permanant uni

Re: Throwbacks mentioned on PTI... and my observations on the Ralph

Sweet... I'd be for organizing some sort of effort to get it done!

Though, I do like the current helmets as much as the throwbacks... maybe they could use the throwbacks as a home helmet and the current ones as a road helmet

Now that would be highly unlikely.

No team has ever done that to my knowledge, and I'm not sure how well that works with the players, e.g., you get used to a color for targeting purposes (esp. JP) and the constant changing might be a distraction (just a guess)

Anyway, you are hereby nominated as the leader of the Back to the Future movement! All in favor say aye!

Re: Throwbacks mentioned on PTI... and my observations on the Ralph

I would be all for using the new uniforms they wore this weekend. They are sooo much better looking than our current versions, IMO. I even liked the helmet with the old school red Buffalo as opposed to the red one with stripey.

I'd love to see it happen.

Eric Sorrentinio (London, CA): Congratulations on a most impressive opening day victory! You have built a solid team. Not to be superstitions (it's bad luck to be - ha ha ha), but is there any way the team can play in the "Throwback" uniforms all season? They looked great, too!

Tom Donahoe: Thank you for your congratulations. Our team and coaches did an outstanding job. The league has guidelines with regard to the throwback uniforms. We are only permitted to wear them two times in any given season. We have yet to determine when our second will be to wear the throwbacks. We couldn't agree with you more that the uniforms looked great and that the team played very well in them.

The movement is starting......get moving freeman!

Re: Throwbacks mentioned on PTI... and my observations on the Ralph

I'd be happy to get one of the new ones

The only complaint I have with the Uni's is during a highlight I had to doubletake because I thought we were the Colts...
