    I like the current royal blue uniform. They are awesome.

    I don't think the current navy is bad. I just don't like that we lose in them and they seem like bad luck.

      But it would be nice to have both the navy blues of Seau's and Tomlinson's prime years and the Coryell royal blues as alternates over the alternates we have now. I really can't stand the current navy blue and royal blue alternates with the white helmets. I think they both look ridiculous.
      Correct. Scrap the current alternates and bring in the Coryells and the Seaus to replace them.

        To me the current version of their uniform combines all the best elements of the lightning bolts on the shoulder AND the side of the pants and is sleeker and cleaner with the yellow mask and the matching powder blue numbers on the side of the helmet...but just from a nostalgia POV, I would love to see that Fouts era throwback worn every now and again...

        Something else that caught my eye was that metallic powder blue helmet with yellow mask that I saw being sold at the pro-shop over there at So-fi, I would love to see them were that helmet on the field with and all white or all powder blue look someday...those helmets look amazing!

          That's the original colors. Powder blue and white helmets. Only reason we went to Navy is because Alex Spanos didn't like the PB. Got changed when he died.

          Navys were ok but much prefer the current though i think the 60's unis are still better. Blue helmets were meh. I guess it depends on the era you became a fan. Coryell era was royal blue.

            Not bad but they should only wear those on road games with the white.

              I have no issue with the powder blues with the white helmet. I can't stand the current navy and royal blues with white helmet. I love the navy blue helmet of 1988 through 2006.

                And now they are finally retiring Joiner and Winslow's 18 & 80... What a waste of an opportunity to not be wearing those uniforms for that...
