Are they really throwback unis

Except for a few of the teams those "throwback" uniforms need to be "thrown back" into the bin and left there. Especially the Seahawks and Broncos.

The Seahawks had never worn the lime green ones before this year, so those can't be called throwbacks.

They gotta do what they gotta do in order to sell the damn things. I would like to get me some of those socks. Maybe DMD can give those away this year.

 

:wacko: I like your thinking, but I'd beat my own ass if I ever wore socks like that. I mean that ugliness is probably perfectly normal in Denver, like thinking Elway is the greatest thing ever, but not the rest of normal society. Maybe DMD can give them away "for display purposes only".

What's up with those socks Denver has? I'm surprised the NFL didn't come down on the players twisting up the stripes so much in order to create a different look.

Actually, if you remember the unis the broncos went to after these, you would think these things were Calvin Klien compared.

Is there actually a rhyme or reason as to when they are worn? It seems like it's been AFC vs. AFC prime time games that I've noticed them, but I don't watch every game and usually prefer the CBS's AFC games vs Fox's NFC games so it may just be my selective memory.

I believe it's all AFC vs. AFC games this year to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the AFL. I've seen the Boston Patriots and Houston Oilers as many times this year. Chargers were in throwbacks last night too, as have been the Raiders and Chiefs (Dallas Texans) a few times.

Mostly. There are exceptions such as The Chiefs and Cowboys game where both wore them. then some original AFL matchups not wearing tham, such as the Bills at Jets last Sunday. There will be other teams wearing them this year too. Such as the Bucs for the first time, and are often seen on Thansgiving.

Which week are they scheduled to wear the leather helmets?

Part of it is they still have to wear modern equipment that look like throwbacks. For some teams, that is a bad match as the look was appropiate for the equipment used back then only.
