They looked great.

Then, they updated them.

Does your high school still use this logo? I ask b/c a high school in the DC area was asked to not use the same Patriots logo by the NFL.

They do. I did see them last year or the year before with red helmets and that logo. Don't know if they are back to silver or not.

Notice the other team in that photo...old Chargers jerseys (they're the Thunderbolts).

We also have another local team that has the exact same uniforms, helmets, everything as the Carolina Panthers except the blue is replaced with orange.

Another team that looks JUST like the Eagles older bright green uniforms except they're red and silver.

There's a team that looks like the Michigan Wolverines but are black and orange.

I think a LOT of high schools teams mimic pro and college uniforms...at least until they're harassed by the NFL like this website was.

Did I here correctly that their back up has not started a game sense High School and has thrown only 30 some passes between college and the pros? Wow!

That IS correct!


Cassel has not started in the NFL.

He did not start a single game at USC and only attempted 33 passes. Zero touchdowns. He backed up both Leinart and Carson Palmer.

He's been a benchwarmer since high school.

They drafted him in the 7th round to hold a clipboard.

I think it's a good thing that Tom Brady doesn't have a big ego like T.O. and that he's somewhat of a nice guy. I say this b/c the entire New England fan base is basically saying that Brady is a system QB and you can just plug in Matt Cassel and things will be fine (as in we'll-be-10-6-and-make-the-playoffs fine). Now, I'm not saying that everything should be gloom and doom with them, but these fans are acting like it's not a big deal.

Tom has a big ego he just does not show it in the ways TO does. It seems that QB's have their way of having egos and WR's have a different way.

no matter how good you are at feeling pressure and knowing when to get rid of the ball you cant escape injuries in this league your entire career unless your last name is favre.

sucks for the pats, will be interesting to see how much support they get from their fans when theyre not playoff bound.

go skins!

well i guess it takes 3 quarters of bad play for pats fans to turn their back on the team and head home to watch the sox. sorry to bump an old thread but what i saw in the 3rd quarter of the pats game as the fans were piling out was an expected sad sight. i can't help but think of the rams, when they were the greatest show on turf everyone was a rams fan, now they suck and play to a half empty house. no loyalty or support, just bandwagon fans.

thats what makes the old school teams like ours so special. the tradition and fan support is always there no matter the record or score.

go skins fans!!
