Week 12's Monday Morning Throwback
Great week for some throwback action with five teams participating. Hands down, my favorite throwback are the Buffalo Bills' 1960s version. It seems that so many dislike the Bills' regular uniforms... it wouldn't surprise me if the franchise decided to go with the throwbacks full-time. The Atlanta Falcons are also a favorite of mine. I definitely think that all the throwbacks are an upgrade over the current versions. What do you think? Are the classic uniforms better?

Would love to see the Bills wear the throwbacks on a regular basis. However, I like the current Falcon jerseys-especially the red. Would like to see the throwbacks kept as an alternate-love the helmet! The Raiders white throwbacks are terrible. The numbers do not match the regular version of that uniform from the 60's.
I'm mostly alone in the North Texas area on this, but I much prefer the Cowboys' throwbacks to their "classic" uniform. I remember seeing the "new" Cowboys uniform for the first time on TV in 1964 and thinking, "that's the Packers, not the Cowboys" (this was black-and-white TV). I like the simple, bold design. I tend to like white helmets, like the Cardinals. The only thing with the Cowboys' throwbacks is that, for whatever reason, they're navy blue rather than as the original Cowboys jerseys' royal blue. Still, it's been great to see them in the old unis, which I thought were gone forever.
