Saw this in today's Uni Watch...glad to hear it, especially since it's the return of the red helmet!

Yes!
Reporter: How will you address all of the dropped passes?
Mike Smith: I don’t think that we were as sharp as we have been catching the football. It’s something that is very fixable. It’s VERY fixable.
1966 is a great choice
The red helmets are cool enough, but matching them up with the black jersey’s absolutely rocks.
I’ve always thought the “new” Falcon would look great on a red helmet
I might be in the minority...
But I HATE the 1966 uniforms. Everyone feel free to boo now.

actually, I kinda agree with the guy
but I’ll probably be celebrating in like 40 years from now when they wear the 2003(2003 to present) uniforms for a game, so I support their reasoning for doing this.
Sorta booo
I like the helmet, but I prefer the red jerssey to the black. and if I’m not mistaken the sleeves are mid length, kind of odd, but I guess that was the style back then.

I won't get excited...
… until we start playing “2 Legit 2 Quit” at games again.
Or have to listen to the classic rock so loud you can't hear yourself think...

I almost forgot about that (on purpose) thanks for bringing it up… LOL!

As a uniform junkie..
..I like it. In fact this year is going to be smorgasbord of cool uniform related stuff.
-All of the original AFL teams will wear throwbacks (Titans will wear Oilers uni’s!) for certain games
-The Jags have new uni’s (like it)
-The Lions have updated uni’s (don’t like it)
-The 49ers have new uni’s (love them just for the fact that they got rid of those HORRIBLE drop shadows).
Who here thinks that Staffords new jersey # actually looks like a REALLY goofy “g”?

Alright, I will stop nerding out on you all now.
In a way, each of us has an El Guapo to face.
dang
that kinda looks like an old Seahawks jersey… without the puke green of course.

That is an expensive jersey ...

15 cents?
The Lions should give away jerseys …

They couldn't pay me to wear Detroit and Lions
on the same piece of merch.
