[edit] Colts "throwback uniforms"

The Indianapolis Colts are still wearing substantially the same uniforms that they work in the 1960s, so I believe that they didn't do anything special for the 1994 season. Are there any other teams that this applies to also? --rogerd 12:58, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Actually the (regular) uniforms that the Colts were wearing in 1994 weren't quite as close to the 1960s uniforms as the ones they are wearing now, but they did have a throwback uniform in '94, albeit only wearing different socks (the same ones they wear now, in fact, with the two white hoops)[1]. As a point of interest, 10 years later on Thanksgiving in Detroit the Colts were in throwback unis again, but this time with a more pronounced difference. [2].

I think the official line from the NFL is that every team participated in the '94 throwbacks, but since Tampa Bay had never really altered their uniforms up until that point, and Kansas City had only made very minor changes since their move from Dallas, we're running the risk of splitting hairs here. Also the Browns have chopped and changed the stripes on their jerseys and socks so much you'd be hard pressed to even notice! 89.240.146.78 18:17, 31 July 2007 (UTC)


[edit] 49er throwback

The image shown is incorrect. The team wore gold helmets as always in 1994, not white. -- Elaich talk 20:18, 15 October 2007 (UTC)


[edit] "one of the first"

More research should be done regarding our conjecture about the short history of throwback uniforms. A 1921 baseball game in Birmingham, Alabama was played using the "rules of the game as they were in 1872" and in special uniforms modeled after the styles of that era.

[edit] Jets

Added the Jets wearing throwbacks today (12/2/07) Also, since the section heads of both NFL and NHL go beyond the years listed with them, shouldn't the years be taken out? --StoopidEmu 20:47, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
