I think the yellow helmets with the modern facemask and other gear and the way they would fit is going to be awesome if they do it.

I dont think that is going to happen. When they had the 70th, everyone knew they were going to switch uniforms a year before that season, but who knows?

I hated those yelow 'R' helmets. They were traditional for about...two years? One?

Give me either the Indian Head ('72 - 06) or the 60's side-arrows (Sonny and Sam and Charley and Bobby's helmets)

Thank You! Hated 'em. The only thing of Lombardi's design I didn't like. Yo, Vince... we ain't the Packers.

OTOH, he did discover that rookie blocking back, Brown, had a hearing deficit... and, so began the magic...

That is my favorite and IMO the best helmet.

I think we should put a hog on the helmet. A hog with the cheif head dressing on. That'd be cool.

Lombardi also inadvertently changed the Skins uniform from burgundy to our current pseudo-burgundy. He was partly color blind, and once he had made up his mind he was too proud to change it, insisting that there wasn't a difference.

The jerseys are available on NFLShop.com and CBSSportsline.com.

They seem to be the real deal although the team has made no announcement???

Are there any changes to the helmet?

Posted: **Thu Aug 02, 2007 9:16 am**

They look good. Why havent they made an announcement ?????

Because they probably have some elaborate ceremony to make people desire for the jersey even moreso than they are now.

Posted: **Thu Aug 02, 2007 9:29 am**

Rumblings are there will be no announcement -- not even advance word as to in which games they will be worn. Seems Snyder wants it all to be a big surprise.

Tadaaaaaa.....cats outta the bag

Posted: **Thu Aug 02, 2007 6:15 pm**

werent supposed to be released yet.. those are the real deal though.. Im thinking we will rock them home opener and maybe the Bears game.. National TV

Posted: **Thu Aug 02, 2007 7:37 pm**

I think it's great for a couple of games.... not a steady diet .... I still have memories of ole number 55# "close lining" in those uniforms.

No prob.... lol

Well it looks like my souce was correct.

Took them long enough to gt them out there.

Posted: **Sat Aug 04, 2007 5:03 pm**

It looks like these are only available with existing player numbers and names at this point. I wonder if this jersey will eventually be available for customization?
I've been wanting a "Clark 84" for some time now.....
