    These could be the best of all-time. I'm having trouble coming up with a better one. If I say they're the best, and it goes to replay, I don't see conclusive evidence to the contrary.

    They would look dumb on the new style unis though.

    The silver and black is classic.

    But I'm impartial to this one:

    Yuck, I've always disliked the Bears mainly because it's too plain and hasn't been tweaked. Ditto for Indy. Classic maybe but boring without a tweak every now and then, Granted some franchises are too timeless and traditional to make a change, like the Steelers, Pacers and Cowboys. But the Bears are one traditional franchise (as well as the Colts) that I'd like to see modernize. It's done wonders for my perception of the Cardinals, who bland uniforms identifying the tradition of a loser organization.

    I meant Packers, not Pacers lol. On that note though, I wish the Pacers had kept their uniforms from around the turn of the century.

    I actually enjoyed the Falcons' all black look in the very early '90s; along with having Rison and Sanders it helped reinforce a fairly cool image. Not enough of a fan to post it, but I think other than the Raiders the Cowboys pretty much knocked it out of the park; they both re-defined sports marketing in terms of incorporating rebelliousness and arrogance in an appealing manner. I like the irony of the Dolphins' helmets looking as corny and childish as they do in contrast to how great and tough a team they were at one time.

    It makes you think that if the Rockets had become a dynasty after changing into the late 90's clown suit space pajamas that there would have been some pride and tradition behind that look and heaven forbid we'd still be wearing them.

    No, the reason we weren't a dynasty was the change to the uniforms...
