    Looking around the league...particularly at Buffalo after last week....there are teams that show off their tradition and club history much better than we do. We need to connect with our past and show other teams that we have history as rich as anyone's. What better way to do that than with retro uniforms. For that the orange uniform...they reek of Henne and Culpepper and not much else...i'm talking about real alternates.

    Vote please.

    The ones they wore against Dallas on Thanksgiving are the ones I prefer.
    Fiedler and Chambers seemed to like them a lot.

    The late 80s/early 90s aqua uniform is one of the most beautiful in all of sports history, and I miss it badly.

    Like the 73-79' ones. Those 5 stripes on the sleeves are sweet.

    We just got new uni's last year. I think it will be a couple of years before they want to stop featuring the new uni's.

    I voted 1970-72 White.

    Personally I prefer the orange over all of them.

    I'm pretty sure the team would wear throwbacks if they knew the fans really wanted it. They could make money off of it as well.

    I'd take those all day. Those orange uniforms are sick. Can't wait till we get orange alternates of the current uniforms.

    I just never liked the orange alternates of the old shadow numbers jerseys. In my opinion they were too orange, too shiny and the numbers didn't look great on them.

    Orange versions of our current jersey might work though.

    Ya I think the switch to the "coral" color of orange would look great...better than the previous.

    Stripes optional.

    Still prefer the 73-79 look though.
