    Buf's best uni's were the kelly era ones, the changes they made in the Bledsoe era were horrible but prior to that they were pretty good. I do think their current uni's look nice though but when I see the 90s era red helmets I see winners, I don't see that w/ the white ones.

    Found this article from right before the Jags game last year...

    http://blog.newyorkjets.com/2011/09/13/jets-put-on-their-titans-togs-for-game-vs-jaguars/

    If I read correctly, it looks like after the Jag game last season, the Jets are 5-1 in the blue Titans unis and 1-1 in the road whites.

    "The Green & White wore their Titans unis seven times from 2007-09, going 1-1, 2-0 and 1-0 respectively for a 4-1 mark in the blue jersey/gold pants/blue helmet ensemble. The Jets also split a pair of games while wearing white Titans vintage road jerseys back in 2009."

    I've always liked the dark maroon throwbacks. I've been wanting a Sean Taylor the same color with one of his commemorative patches sewn on it.

    Ugh, I've gone to 2 games where they wore those horrid blue titans throwbacks (2009 week 3 vs TITANS[lol], last year weak 2 vs Jax). Both times when I showed up it just pissed the hell outta me.

    I'm not convinced of that just yet. Though that is a very telling sign.

    I really hope we're not damned to wearing these pieces of $#!+.

    Everyone else has some sick alternatives, except the Jets wtf?

    Also, I'd LOVE to see the Kelly Green's make a return. I grew up with those. I love the Mo Lewis jersey I have.

    I absolutely HATE the Blue Titans. The white Titan jersey has grown on me.

    I would love to see these instead of the Titans. I like the current jerseys better, but these are still awesome, and look waaaaay better than that other crap.

    Always like the redskins uni's, especially since we were the "Redskins" in high school (They changed to the Spartans this year after the heat from groups finally got to them. The last school in the state to do so). They had already gotten rid of any indian images (went to a red S on the helmet and at center court in basketball).

    We wore the indian profile on our helmets with the feather, only our helmets were red.

    After all that, the point I was going to make is that my favorite redskin throwback uni is the one pictures, with the same colored helmet with a spear on it, circa Sonny Jurgensen. Was never too big on the gold pants they always wore.

    That looks like the San Diego Padres uniforms from the 70s. What was it with brown and mustard back then!?!?

    I'm with you on the kelly green jersey - grew up with it, would love to see it. But I hate the Titan jerseys either way. It's a cross between the Rams and Notre Dame - looks nothing like the Jets.

    I remember when they used to wear those jerseys in the preseason. I guess I am showing my age.

    BTW, Rex loves the Titan throwbacks, so I assume they will wear them at least once this year.

    Yep. I read an article where he said he loves it due to his love for AFL history. He also said the Jets tend to win when wearing them AND the players like the uni's a lot.
