Which throwbacks are best throwbacks?

[Roundybout]

For some discussion in the boring depths of the offseason, I wanted to know what you guys' favorite throwback uniforms are in the NFL (aside from ours, which are excellent). Plus, we get to see some pretty pictures. 

 

Note - I went with ones that are worn fairly often. Unfortunately, teams like the Eagles aren't allowed to wear their gorgeous Kelly Green ones due to stupid regulations.  

 

Here are the ones I listed for the Poll (this is NOT a ranking): 

 

1) New England Patriots* - hate 'em with a passion, but damn those old school uniforms are nice. Plus, it hearkens back to the day when they were in the basement. 

 

 

2) Tampa Bay Buccaneers - The orange is pretty bad looking, but it takes me back to a simpler time of football. Bucco Bruce is also pretty cool. These haven't been worn since 2012, though. 

 

3) Miami Dolphins - Same deal with the Pats*,  I hate the stupid fish, but their throwback uniforms are better than a lot of teams' regular uniforms. It was a crime for Nike to nerf them. 

 

 

 

4) Pittsburgh Steelers - Bumblebee szn! These are awful. 

 

 

5) Denver Broncos - I'm counting this as a throwback because of the great helmet. I hope these make more appearances in the future. 

 

 

6) Green Bay Packers - Did everyone wear navy/yellow back in the day (Jets, Eagles, Steelers, etc)?

 

 

7) San Francisco 49ers - these are new, but they look pretty great. Drop shadows need to make a comeback. 

 

 

8 ) Atlanta Falcons - Black on black with the old school Falcon looks sweet. I like these way better than the current ones, and these are my non-Bills favorites. 

 

 

What do you guys think? What teams should bring back throwbacks (Titans need to wear the derrick more than not at all)? Happy July! Training camp isn't too far off.

Most throwbacks are horrible, IMO.

These?

 

 

I think the Bills throwbacks with the standing buffalo in red is better.

Everyone knows they're the best throwback ever.

It would be hard to find something worse than the Steelers! Oh my!

They need to pretend those uniforms never happened.

It looks like when the dog threw up my crayons as a kid.

Chargers

[Not at the table Karlos]

Chargers powder blues are by far the best. Not even a competition. But out of the ones listed I picked the Falcons. 

[PromoTheRobot]

Not even a contest, Bills 60's jerseys and standing Buffalo helmet are the best in the NFL.

Which is why I took ours out of the competition ?

They always wear the powder blues though

 

EDIT holy **** I never noticed that their powder blues are throwbacks. Seriously. My brain never registered the difference.

That pirate hasn't been on the Bucs' helmet since '96.  Asked to explain their hot 5-0 start in '97, Tony Dungy explained "Obviously it's the new uniforms."  

[Maynard]

Hate to say it, but The Pats throw backs are pretty slick.  Next I gotta go with The Bucs. I miss that helmet and orange. Tampa should go back, I hate their newer uniforms in both color and design.

Agree

[Threedollabills]

 We should wear these when retiring Thurmal's number

[Augie]

I refuse to vote for the uniform I like best based upon principle. 

[Mark Vader]

I voted other.
