Bruce Allen on McNabb extension, Haynesworth and uniforms

[Beemnseven]

I was trying to think of the teams that have kept their current uniforms the longest without changing, but not counting occasional retro looks. We've had our design since 1979 I believe. But the teams I can think of are:

Colts
Bears
Raiders
Packers
Steelers

I'm not sure how long the Cowboys have had their current design. Sometime around the 70s they changed to the aqua-colored pants when they wear white jerseys. When they're in the blue jerseys, the pants are silver. I'm not sure of any other team that does that, btw.

Every other team has had either minor tweaks or complete changes sometime in the 1990s.

Did the Colts change theirs this year? I watched parts of their first preseason game, and their helmet was completely different, horseshoe in the back not on the side. Couldn't tell if the uniforms were different as well.

I think each of those teams have tweeked their uni's slightly over the yrs. The Colts probably least of all though.

Watching the film today the Bills have a nice uni. I could see us using the burgundy where their blue is and using gold where they put red. Then use white as they did; stripes on the pant leg and numbers.

Then we could so something similar with the whites... all white with burgundy where the Bills used red and highlight every thing with gold striping and numbers.

Just to make colors pop I'd use metal flake paint on the helmet. Metal flake burgundy and metal flake gold. It's still the orginial colors but it would make the colors really stand out nice.

Edit:
Here is the Bills Blue uni:

I'd replace the red stripe with burgundy and the blue with gold.
