As far as I've heard.....yes. N/M

Yes. BTW....in this thread the whole outfit down to the socks are mentioned

If you haven't seen the jerseyjoe pic., then you'll be in for a treat. The jersey isn't radically different from our current whites, but they do look pretty sweet.

I'm not sure why either......but the jersey is supposed to be available around week 3 (Baltimore) or the preseason.

Hey I thought Cowher was retired

Never!!! (cue campy and sinister Dr. Evil type laugh)

Man, that is a nice job. If only we could see that in reality :notworthy

Yes, Jersey- white throwback from 1970-1971 year Helmet- Yellow R throwback Pants-Gold Socks- red and yellow stripes (see Portis and Taylor in 2005) My understanding we'll only see it in 2 home games: Miami and ? (maybe Philly?) Also, my understanding is that the jersey will be available for sale as a replica style but not until after week 3 of the preseason.

With the debate in the NFL about concussions and increased suicide and depression rates with multiple concussed former football players, I kind of wonder if concussions and other related head trauma played a role in this. I mean Benoit took alot of head hits in the day, examples: Flying Headbutts (did it alot) Super Suplexes (from the top rope- every time he did it he always seemed to get hurt) Chairs to the head- who hasn't in the WWE, WCW, ECW hasn't been hit in the head with a garbage can, chair, ladder etc.? combine that with: former and probably current steriod use, low testoerone levels, probably other drugs (painkillers) and a high level of stress from home and work and jet lag from WWE road trips. You have a guy that probably is in serious trouble.

I hope this is some BS spin storyline.. Benoit was a really great technical wrestler. I will always remember his days as a Horseman with Malenko, Flair and Anderson. Way too young to be dead.

Yep, if you meant the socks......THEY ARE IN!!!!! It will be a crazy look but if it makes the players (especially Portis and Taylor) happy and winning, I'm all for it.

Not sure why also, but my understanding they won't be available for purchase until after the third preseason game and they'll only be available in replicas.

Current uni's aren't changing (now whether our current unis are the white/burgundy or white/white I have no clue), this is a throwback to commemerate the 75th. It will be used for a few games as the alternate jersey (like what the Bills have done, the Cowboys "star" unis, the Ravens all black unis and San Diego's Power Blues). Why it's being done? $$$ Alternate jerseys sell, same with the Tees and the hat. I probably buy a throwback jersey this year (If they make a Jansen one). Alot of fans like a little variety now and then (just look how many talk about ANY changes to the uniform in the past year or so). I love the current look (white with the Burgundy or Cardinal Red pants) but to see an alternate look now and then is fine by me.

But what do they call him???

Yeah, I want to see and buy them as well (But hopefully we can see some more "core" authentics like Sellers or Jansen)

I don't think they're available yet..........

The day Eli retires........maybe

Somebody call Ricky Williams!!!!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Unless they issue "retro" jerseys in legendary Redskins players (Mann, Rypien, Butz, Coleman ,Warren, Jacoby etc.) I think I'll pass. I've been burned enough with buying current players like Bailey, Davis and Arrington :mad: so from now on I'll be getting throwbacks If the Skins do start to win again, maybe it will be worth getting a Campbell jersey-- but if they go nowhere it would be like owing a Stephen Davis or Brad Johnson (or even worse Deion Sanders or Bruce Smith)

It's Giants week.... BUMP IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:notworthy :notworthy Eli............ and a Devastatin' Dave reference :applause: Gold star and bonus points to PCS :point2sky

:laugh: Y'know this thread will still be going long after Eli has retired........ BWHAHAHAHAHA

Didn't Dexter have a line about "I hate the Cowboys, they Suck"

Ok, if anybody does a sig. bet with Tom [Giants Fan] this year......that's what he'll have to use if he loses the bet. :laugh:

Watched ECW last night and here's what I thought: The Good: They stuck with the "low-budget" aspects of the original ECW. It's not the fireworks and contstant waaaayyyyy too long monologing of the WWE stuff. Not flashy, but it's ECW not WCW or WWE and that's good. The Sandman.....wow, that guy is just crazy. Also nice to see Sabu(wasn't he in TNA?), Justin Credible. Liked the new Kurt Angle.....he wrestled techinically, but was just sick in how he destroyed Justin Credible. Nice to see RVD with 2 belts. Nice DX commercial in btw segemnts. The Bad. Too much WWE "inter-war" stuff (remember when WCW and ECW was brought to the WWE years ago? Same plot line as far as I'm concerned.) it was lame. Edge and Jon Cena was predictable and boring. Knew edge would jump RVD and knew (easily) that RVD and Cena would be feuding still. THe battle royal sucked!!!! Lame, lame lame...when it's an all weapon BR why wait until everybody gets tossed out THEN grab weapons. Plus, who didn't think Sabu would win after Big Show tossed him and he didn't go out. Too predictable. I'm never against hot women who want to strip.....but a) there was no stripping (for the most part) and it was filler inbtw segments, no extra plot point. Pretty lady, wonder if she'll be a new manager or a female ECW wrestler? No way should you have the ECW champ get OWNED by another brand or wrestling promotion ON YOUR OWN SHOW. RVD got owned by Edge....that really sucked for ECW to be so extreme and yet outclassed by the #1 Seed not even the former champ. Overall, not that great, but it was the "pilot" episode so it should get better as the show progresses.
