She's right about the throwback uniforms. "It means a lot to someone when their team comes out wearing the same uniforms they wore when they were 7 or 8 years old, and they can look back on such good times."
@@SD-th9sp How could I forget? Great childhood memories of watching football games with my dad and brother. Wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.

Was this aired on April Fool's Day? The original Bucs uniforms were the worst. Should have gone to the 1999 Bucs' uniforms. The Browns' uniforms are hideous. Awful list.
Absolutely. Hated rivals that they are, I always liked the Kelly Green Eagles look. Same with the old, Yankee Stadium-era Giants with the "NY" on the helmet (glad they went back to those).
Notice how every team finds an excuse to add black to their color scheme? Even teams like the 9ers and Jets who historically never had black. They are trying to match that iconic Raider's uniform.
@@fockewulf4409 I agree, not like you'll see the Steelers, Raiders, or Saints sporting an alternative red jersey or incorporate red or orange (aside from the pre-existing Diamonds in the Steelers' logo) into their uniform
41:30 The 1973 San Diego Chargers were 2-11-1 and tried a top-to-bottom change that included uniforms. Harland Svare was fired and Tommy Prothro started building the team that Don Coryell swooped in and finished as Air Coryell. Prothro and the new look arrived at the same time. I grew up with the dark blue Chargers unis, and I was a Chargers fan, but I did remember the prior look, and I'm glad it's back - but both deserve the love they get.
The Chargers' royal blue and gold uniforms from 1974-84 were cool, I never did like the navy blue that they started wearing in 1985, and I am so glad they finally returned to the sky blue, white, and gold more recently.
I'm gonna be honest with you, there is no way Chris Collinsworth did get high everyday of his career. Every time I see old footage of him, he looks baked.
The only team I can think of that actually made an improvement when it changed its uniforms was the Bengals, when they adopted the tiger stripes. ( I still like the old orange BENGALS helmet for nostalgia, but the stripes were better.) The Oilers uniforms of the early 70s - slightly greenish blue jerseys and the bluish silver helmets with blue and red trim - are vastly underrated. The Cowboys dark jerseys may have been "unlucky," but they were sharp. (The Cowboys' uniform changes have been subtle, but noticeable. The classic Cowboy dark jersey was royal blue, NOT navy as it has been for the past 25 years and the numbers were white, NOT silver and no outlining. Also, the helmets didn't used to be silver, they were blue-grey.) The Lions jersey, from the advent of the Honolulu blue in the early 70s through the Matthew Stafford era (not to blame Matthew, not his fault) was fantastic but is now royally F-ed up. Logo placement on helmet, striping, all disastrous. Seattle came out of the gate in 1976 with a great-looking, blue-green-silver color scheme; the more recent teal and tennis-ball green is horrible, though. I must give some love to the St. Louis Cardinals uniforms. Great color, great striping and the Cardinal logo on the helmet was classic. Those uniforms got screwed up after the team moved to the desert. First, they added some kind of funky rainbow clutter on the sleeves and in the 2000s, they replaced the Cardinal logo with a similar but more cartoonish-looking bird, which was re-positioned on the helmet. . . . .I can't believe I got so verbose about this subject. I could say more, but. . .sorry.
The old-school Oilers had GREAT uniforms. Not only the color scheme but that oil derrick logo on the white helmet was nice. Kind of a shame that it evolved into the Flaming Thumbtack, although I do like the combination of light and dark blue that the Titans have
@@joeleicht5764 lol! I don't like Em. But the old helmets were much worse. I always wondered why the Bengals never experimented with a Tiger face emblem. There's so many cool ones to choose from.
The Los Angeles Rams with blue helmets and yellow pants wearing them is like watching magic Johnson and the Showtime lakers on a fast break at the great Western forum
Cherry Red, White, and Gold of the 49ers are the best uniforms ever (except when they changed it in 1996 and stayed until 2009 when it came back permanently)
Their Montana era uniforms and basic one's that they have now are good. Those throwback ones now are terrible as is the all black. They should stick with a good thing with the basics.
Panthers' all black uniform is probably one of the cooler looking uniforms (especially if they brought in all black helmets) but by itself, the black Panthers jersey is probably their best looking one. Nice classic appearance to it!
I think Raiders should've been #1. I figured the Cowboys would make the list but was disappointed the 70-80s Patriots "Minuteman" jersey didn't. The cheerleaders and pee wee uniforms making this list is beyond me, however, Raiderettes , Cowboys and Broncos cheerleaders I'll make an exception.
I especially love the Lions' 1973-78 uniforms. They were perfect, right down to the numerical and lettering fonts. Second best Lion uniforms were the royal blue-and-silver uniforms that they wore only in 1966.
Raiders' Silver and Black have a few things the others don't: memories/origins in the AFL- and not changed since, menace, opposition, villain of all nations, violence. It is all Al Davis. (shield-head guy was hilarious)
Oh no!!! ESPN has it wrong. For a couple of years, the Browns did have a logo. It was the player's number on either side of the helmet. I believe it was for only one or two years. Around 1956 or 1957.
@@gregbaldwin5144 - I disagree. The white over red is really sharp and their only good combination. In most cases, including the Chiefs white of over white sucks
John Mckay had some amazing quotes across his career. "We didn't tackle well today but we made up for it by not blocking" On how coaching an expansion team is a religious experience: "You do a lot of praying, but most of the time the answer is 'no.'" "If you have everyone back from a team that lost 10 games, experience isn't too important." On the play of Joe Namath in the Jets' 34-0 victory over Tampa Bay, “Namath is still Namath, but I must say that our guys were nice to him. I noticed when they knocked him down, they helped him to his feet. That was gentlemanly. I thought one stood around long enough to get his autograph.” But my ALL TIME FAVORITE is when Tampa Bay broke its 26 game losing streak winning their first ever game "Three or Four plane crashes and we're in the playoffs"
The Bill Parcells era home uniforms of the New York Giants were the best looking uniforms in NFL history, hands down. Totally clean, and it's hard to go wrong with red, white and blue.
Only question is "NY" or "Giants" on the side of the helmet like in Tuna's era? I'm more partial to the NY as they had recent success during Eli's years in addition to the Gifford/Huff/Conerly/Tittle/Shofner teams of the 50s and 60s and even the Fran Tarkenton/Homer Jones/Ron Johnson years.
It’s always been interesting to me that the Cowboys’ white and color uniforms have different shades of blue and silver from each other, with the colored uniforms having a different, darker shade of blue and silver compared to the white jersey. I’m not sure if any other team is like that.
no, no AND NO! The Raiders not being #1 is a travesty and the Vikings not even being an honourable mention is a travesty. As far as I'm concerned, this is the top 5: 1) Raiders 2) Chargers powder blue 3) Cowboys 4) Vikings 5) Niners And while I'm on the topic of teams that got screwed, the Saints' colour scheme is far cooler than some of the teams on this list and probably belongs in the top 10
In terms of modern additions to this list, as much as I love the mid 2000s uniforms, the modern Seahawks kits are a thing of beauty. Best of the Nike ones. Also the green jerseys are a classic. Loved those as a kid
The Colts' uniforms are the easiest on the eye of any team. Appealing mid-shade of blue, but not so juiced up as the Chargers or the Broncos. The Colts unis say, we look good, but we're not here to make a fashion statement. The statement is our play on the field.
I live in Arizona so I follow the Cardinals. Still they're the Cardinals - not the black birds so it seems heretic for the to wear anything other than red. And their best outfit was when they moved here from St. Louis in 1988.
@@colleenross8752 - Also looks good but not like the Raiders - plus the Saints have dulled it down by removing most of the striping, gold number trim on away uniforms. The all white is way too bland.
1994 had so many throwback uniforms. Pat patriot, the pittsburgh pirates, powder blue, packers blue and yellow, bengals without stripes, oilers, old bills, flashy 49ers, 50s rams,
Although I think that the orange pants with the brown jerseys was a bit to much, on balance that's was their best overall combination. There was also one subtle difference that made the white jerseys way better than later versions. That was that there was as white line separating the brown and orange on the sleeve stripes. Big difference.
Some of the uniforms on my extended list are: * The purple, gold and white of the Portsmouth Spartans (NB: the team moved to Detroit and were rebranded the Lions in 1934). * The big blue of the Giants. * The Rams' royal blue and gold (especially when based in Los Angeles). * The Broncos' Orange Crush. * The Falcons' classic look. * The Pat Patriot (yes, he was ready to play). * The Houston Oilers in the 1970s and 1980s. * The Buffalo Bills in the 1960s and 1970s. * Anything the Eagles had with the kelly green. * The Packers' home uniforms. * The green and white of the New York Jets (since 1963 - and the 1960-1962 Titans light blue and gold wasn't too bad). * Anything from the Baltimore Colts/Ravens (special points for the Ravens' all-black uniforms, which I believe were lights out). * Anything blue, silver and white (there's a long history here). * The Steelers' black and gold (except the bumblebee throwback - I can see why Art Rooney dumped this after a year). * Cowboys and Raiders cheerleaders (the football team took their uniform design from the Cowgirls and Raiderettes, come on). I have pee-wee and other cheerleaders' uniforms as an honorable mention, and the expansion Bucs' uniform loses too many points for the winking pirate (its design was awful) to qualify on my list.
I agree the #1 should definitely be the chargers and their powder blue. But why did Philly ever change from the beautiful Kelly green to that awful dark green they wear now?
As for those cheerleading outfits, the one I really like was the one the Jags’ squad originally wore: animal print. That was hot... obviously, I love the Cowboys’ uniform, but the Oilers’ one was nice and so is the Saints’ 👍
The Jags cheerleaders should return to the animal print: at this time, it would provide a welcome distraction from Jacksonville's sorry excuse for a football team.
@@MRB16th I feel so bad for that franchise. To go from being that close to a SB appearance just a few years ago to a doormat for two straight seasons. Yikes!
@@smoothALOE Not to mention being on their third coach in two years. You have to feel sorry for them at that point - that they're close to Tampa Bay (reigning Super Bowl Champions) and Miami (a possible contender) makes it so much worse.
Ohhhhh yeaaah! Anyone else can't stand the current nike jerseys because of the collars? They drive me crazy, they look so disgusting. ...to me. All those lines and large spike designs.
Love the Powder Blues of the 60's-70's Chargers that had the White helmets with the Lightning bolt and the number on the helmet. Also a big fan of the old time Patriot Minuteman, "Pat Patriot" hiking the football on the helmets of the NE Patriots until 1991. They never should went away from Pat Patriot, he is awesome. Oh, and the best cheerleader uniforms by far, belong to the Oakland Raiders. Nobody else is even close.
I'd like to know who puts these lists together, you can't include cheerleaders & pee wee etc, the top 5 should be 1 Raiders 2 Saints 3 Vikings 4 Steelers 5 49ers
My top 5: Honorable Mention: Saints (they need to wear the gold pants more) 5.) Steelers 4.) Colts (minus the smurf look) 3.) Raiders 2.) Packers 1.) 49ers (except that horrid 1994 throwback) My worst five would probably be the Bengals (even as a fan of the team, the uniforms aside from the helmet are awful), Rams (that new look is a travesty compared to what they had with the royal blue and yellow), Cardinals (why do they mix a classic helmet with a modern design), Falcons (their new look is worse), and the Titans (they really have some identity issues). Dishonorable mention: Jets. Go back to the Namath look already.
My personal top ten in no particular order: -blue and yellow Rams, particularly ‘90s -1997-2002 Falcons, with the red numbers and socks on the road unis -Panthers with black jerseys, black pants, and blue socks. So vibrant. Becomes so crappy when they wear black socks instead. -ANY Colts -Dolphins, from whenever they added aqua face masks and the sleeve logo, until their logo change in 1997 -Bears’ throwbacks with plain dark blue helmets, dark blue jerseys, orange numbers, white pants, and striped socks -current Giants -2020 Chargers -‘80s Broncos -Super Bowl-era Buccaneers I’m a uniform nerd, so if you asked me tomorrow some of these answers would probably be different.
Actually, the year the Rams won the Super Bowl was supposed to be their first year in the new uniforms. Somehow or another they missed a deadline and so they were delayed by a season.
Honestly, I'd keep the current color scheme, but go back to the old "D" logo on the helmets and 80s uniform design full-time. I've never liked that gawd-awful swoosh uniform that Nike designed, and the Bronco head emblem is far too much a product of its time. Seriously, the Patriots, Broncos, Seahawks, etc.--they look soooo much better with their throwback designs. They're much cleaner, the emblems are more sophisticated, and don't look like some color-blind middle-schooler designed them with MS Paint.
That's be when Glanville became HC in 1990, he brought the "Back in Black" theme and attitude here from Houston. I loved the all black look bc with all red we looked to.much like damn UGA! Also, bc an all black.look is an intimidating look for any team. I even like the new unis we just got. Finally going back to an all black look for home games. It's a look that the players have been clamoring for for years anyway.
@@christianraines3032 Nah, I prefer an all black look at home. Makes for a more intimidating look, which is what the team has wanted for years. I do like the all whites, but I'm more of a fan of white jerseys and black pants for road games. Since I'm a Ga Tech fan also, up until Coach Collins got here, we wore all white all the time and it got SO boring to watch, especially on their yearly "white out" games. Also, Tech wore Gold helmets, Navy jerseys and White pants for home games during their 1990 National Championship season and that was a very sharp look.
