What NFL team would get the biggest upgrade going full time from their current uniforms to one of their retro uniforms?

(excluding the Eagles kelly green)

Quite a few:

The Seahawks current uniform set is just way too dark and blah (when they aren't wearing highlighter green)

 

The Titans have a trainwreck of a uniform and while I love the Oilers uniforms, the OG Titans uniforms are night and day better than what they wear now.

Anything before and including the Dirty Bird era

 

Whatever the DC team decides to do in the future, go back to what they used to wear. 

Speaking of uniforms:

The Flyers unveiled their new uniforms and meh.  HATE HATE HATE the ad patch.  I like the move to the darker orange again but the shoulder yoke and plain TV numbers leave a lot to be desired.  

Would have loved to see this as an alternate rather than the black

The Bucs going back to creamsicle=ratings.

Agree 100% with Washington. Even with the mascot change, they need to bring that back. One of the best uniforms in NFL history. I would add for Atlanta that I think their red helmets are also one of the best ever, I’d bring that back

Hell, Matt, I am old but not old enough to be pre plate tectonics. (Yes, geology is a young science). My sister’s roommate in college’s dad was a geophysicist for Shell with a PhD and the visiting lecture on plate tectonics the year she (my sister’s roommate) and I took historical geology together in college.  The prof, a brand new PhD would get frustrated with out answers in class because we were ahead of, and beyond, what his class taught because of what we grew up discussing.   Yep, my science in college was Geology. I am one class away from a double major in it (have a minor). My dad and my uncle were both highly recognized geophysicists that really were paleogeoligists by training.  But when I was finishing college, companies were laying off geologists and not towards Masters, which you had to have to make any money or get hired by the major oil companies.  Besides, so much of what I got from college classes were refreshers of what I had learned at the kitchen table and driving around and hiking this great country with my Dad.  

My Dad used to say that the two biggest misunderstandings of geology are primarily the perception of time and secondarily the tendency towards viewing things as static, primarily because to understand we tend to look backwards from the viewpoint of where we are today.  (A great example of that is the flip of Africa from Pangea in the video you shared where the shape shown is almost identical to today of the movement of the India continental plate without accounting for Madagascar.). We keep learning more about tectonics and geological history all the time.  It is such a young science.  

I am familiar with Moore but not McPhee. New book for my reading.  Seen anything that covers the sunken continent near New Zealand, Zealandia?  When I was in college, we were taught that was part of Gondwana but recently there has been some serious debate, driven in part, I think by the ocean plates, of whether Zealandia is a separate continent from East Gondwana (primarily Australia today).

I’m of the … it’s a continent of its own, just with most of it under water. Assembling California is the fifth east to west installment of McPhee’ opus Annals of the Former World.  It won the 1999 Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction

The book presents a geological history of North America, and was researched and written over the course of two decades beginning in 1978. It consists of a compilation of five books,

— In Suspect Terrain (from the outwash plains of Brooklyn to the Appalachian landscape to Indiana's drifted diamonds and gold), 

— Crossing the Craton (a fascinating journey across the basement of the continent - the land masses forming Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, and thereabouts), 

— Rising from the Plains (covering the Rockies and surrounding areas), 

— Basin and Range (the physiographic province of the United States that reaches from eastern Utah to eastern California),  

— Assembling California (a cross-section in human and geologic time, from Donner Pass in the Sierra Nevada through the golden foothills of the Mother Lode and across the Great Central Valley to the wine country of the Coast Ranges, the rock of San Francisco, and the San Andreas family of faults).

WTF is going on with Howie?  It’s been a month since he signed a draft choice and Ringo remains unsigned.

With the way that organization is ran, I was half expecting them to be a burlap sack. 

Is Ray Didinger losing it? He just said on wip he wpulsnt be able to pick who was a better 6th round draft pick for the Eagles between Wilbert Montgomery and Jason Kelce.

Age comes for everyone

Am I the only who doesn't give a flying F about uniforms?  Especially other teams uniforms.

Some people take fashion very seriously I guess.

At his best (78-81) Montgomery was an excellent RB; one of the best in the NFL -- and in that era the RB position was much more important than it is now.  His decline resulted in the worst Eagles draft pick in history -- taking Michael Haddix at #8 overall instead of replacing an aging Jaworski with Dan Marino (or Jim Kelly, for that matter).

I think that's a fair take. My guess is that you never watched Wilbert play and are oblivious to the fact that he was the single most vital piece to that late seventies resurgence from decades of crap football to becoming a Super Bowl contender. Wilbert was great.

I like the uniforms but also dislike the logo.  I mean at least make it a matching color.  I also like the orange vs. the black alternate.

That's nice and all that he was a great player but Jason Kelce is a Hall of Fame player.  One of the greatest centers to ever play the game.

I think they are pretty and sometimes I bet on the horsey team to beat the team with the tiger on their helmets.

I am sorry that you are fashion blind.  I bet you wear crocs and cargo shorts.

Dallas is the most impacting, 2023 season focus answer. Especially since we always lose there.

KC is the revenge, SB rematch, but ultimately winning or losing this game won't mean much besides a moral victory. 

49ers means almost nothing any way you look at it but I think that would be my answer. I wouldn't be able to stand the whining and crying if they manage to beat us.

Don't really care about a SB rematch. I'm over the loss

I want Eagles to curb stomp 49ers because of the crying and whining

Always want Dallas to lose

They are wearing it with the all grey.  GROSS.  This feels like doing something just because they can.  That logo isn't made for a helmet at all.  That helmet doesn't go with all grey at all either.  I just don't understand what teams are thinking with half of these designs anymore.

Also...Honoring/paying tribute to the past while looking towards the future.  Copy and paste for any team doing a uniform unveiling these days.  So predictable.

The color of the helmet is nice.  I'm not sure whose 6-year-old drew the lion, though.
