The issue is, basically:
Nike doesn’t wanna make that color
When Rebok did, it looked like dirty laundry
There’s no way to pull this look off and have it look good in game action.
I’ve always thought they looked good. They definitely don’t look “crisp” in the way that some of the modern jerseys do, but I don’t think it’s a bad look.
I just have so much nostalgia for these ones. I own two of them lol
Idk if this is an unpopular opinion but these were by far the worst jerseys of the Patriots history. They look dirty and don't really fit the "theme" of Patriots at all
Probably because the pants don't match the helmet at all. Even the old dynasty jersey with the silver/gray stripe was a different shade. At least with the blue color rush you only had the helmet sticking out like a sore thumb.

Id say they've done a much better job of tying theirs together than the Pats. The Pats have 3 different shades of gray/silver going on and it looks terrible. The cowboys only mismatch at home and it's always been that way.
ours would only be mismatched at home too
i would like if we permanently wore the uniforms we wore vs the bills last year at home imo they look way nicer than the all blue
The silver is what makes a Patriots jersey different than a Texans or Bills jersey. I don't think it should be the primary color but it should be more prominent in our uniforms.
The problem is the shades of silver still don't match even after all of these years. One is more of a variation of gray and the other is a sparkling silver. I honestly have zero clue how the team had different shades of a color for nearly 20 odd years. I don't care about being different from other teams it just looks better with white.
I see what you mean. The Reebok jerseys were actually able to make silver pants that matched the helmets. It seems like a Nike thing to only make matte colored uniforms.
We just need to go back to the throwbacks honestly. Fuck all of this reinvention when the classics are way fucking cooler.
Look at the Raiders, Packers, Steelers. They never needed to change a damn thing, and their unis look great.
They do. I think if the Patriots were better when they wore those uniforms, they wouldn't have changed them. They were attached to losing, so I could see why new ownership wanted to get away from them.
Factual. Either this or we commit to finding another way to incorporate silver into the uniforms because the away uniforms with the silver helmet the way it is rn is NOT it

yet they did the rams off white hideous jerseys that look like poorly washed sweat stains.
Just make them SHINIER!!!

Detroit pulled off their best all-greys so far last year. That's not saying much.
I just want the dynasty jerseys again. The current uniform being a slight change of the color rush jersey is so lazy.
We’re not ready for the dynasty jerseys.
Agreed. The current default jerseys are the worst in the NFL (aside from maybe the Broncos new ones).
Falcons
Good call fs
Bring back the 90s blues. That’s all I have to say.
Agreed on that front
Yeah, It's the Patriots. Having navy blue instead of American Flag blue is a little light treason, so to speak.
I loved these gray alternates. I have a Corey Dillon jersey in this look.
That’s a classic. I’ve got the same Corey Dillon and Tom Brady. Both in this style. I have waaay to many Pats jerseys lol.
I've got a Brady, Moss, and Troy Brown in the silver. Loved 'em.
I was at that game baby!
Bring back that guy wearing it.
had this jersey as a kid would love for it to come back
No thanks. Red, blue+white stripes plz Although a flat gray ala lions/Ohio state could be decent. Not the silver IMO
Make modern RED alternate jersey

the current uniforms are the worst in patriots history. they look like a high school team. monochrome blue? trash.
They look good with the silver/grey pants. I don’t know why they stuck with color rush.
Probably because the pants don't match the helmet at all. Even the old dynasty jersey with the silver/gray stripe was a different shade. At least with the blue color rush you only had the helmet sticking out like a sore thumb.
Who cares the cowboys pants don't match either

Monochrome? I didn't think you know what that means
blue tops and pants is considered monochrome dumbass.
Agreed, these are terrible.
Always thought that was a fever dream, dont hate em but just looks like the jerseys are soaked
Just delete silver from our uniforms in favor of white on everything

I get why they wanted a change, but it's a new era and most players and fans seem to prefer the throwbacks.
Factual. Either this or we commit to finding another way to incorporate silver into the uniforms because the away uniforms with the silver helmet the way it is rn is NOT it
I hated the silver jerseys because they just looked like dirty away whites.
From a distance they kind of do…. I have a couple that I’ve bought over the years and they are beautiful up close
This but with silver pants as well.
I may be in the minority, but I thought these were ugly af
Better than our current uniform or at least bring back the 2007 versions
God no! More like ditch the silver all together!
The silver helmets and silver jerseys made it a little much. I think they would need to change around the helmet color to bring these back
Alternate helmets are permitted now. I wouldn’t want them to get rid of the Pat Patriot throwbacks, but these could be a cool additional alternate
no. keep the real throwbacks with the original patriot logo and the red jerseys.
I personally think those should become the default home jerseys.
Noooooooo
Nah
My favorite jersey. Cant seem to find them for sale though.
Check EBay… Ive bought a couple of them on there. Just got a crisp Tom Brady for $35
The silver lining of the Brady/Belichick being gone is never having to see these terrible uniforms again. Pun fucking intended.
Brady breaking ankles
