The Greatest Current NFL Uniforms

QUITE Honestly, I'd really like to go back through the pages of time and consider everybody in this contest, but that is just way too much of a task for me to undertake. So, without further ado, here are my top five(5) favorite uniforms from the here and now:

#5: Detroit Lions

Ok Ok.. Say what you will about their talent, record, former GM, owner, future, past, present, and 401k plan, but their uniforms are sliiiiiiiick. Light metalic-ish blue and gray are all the rage. Plus, their new logo (not shown) depicts a much more defined lion striking fear into the hearts of all opponents. Seriously.

#4: San Francisco 49ers

Please note, this is not a recent picture. The past few years the 49ers, who are one of the classic teams of my generation, decided they should add some black to their standard "fire engine" red and gold to create a "blood-ish" red and gold. It didn't work. Their new uniforms revert back to the days of yore. Back when Montana was throwing story book passes to Rice and Ronnie Lott was pretty much destroying everything in his line of sight. I love it.

#3: Green Bay Packers

I did not post a picture of Brett Favre for a reason, so don't ask. But anyway, The Packer's jerseys and logo have pretty much not changed at all since the team was created in 1919. I absolutely respect that. Green and gold go great together and the team is steadfast, resolute and vigilant in sticking with their guns. Great job, Pack.

#2: Washington Redskins

Of course the Skins show up on this list. But look at that uniform, how can they not? These are classics, undergoing minimal changes throughout the years. Burgandy and Gold is as American as apple pie as far as I'm concerned. I truthfully (and I'd like to think without bias) think these are among tops in the NFL but...

#1: San Diego Chargers

One caveat: This is only true of the gorgeous powder blue uniforms you see above, not the navy blue ones they mostly wear. All right, I realize that I will get a lot of flack (if anyone ever actually reads this) from Redskins fans for putting these uniforms at #1; but one look at them and you realize they are the truth. I cannot think of their equal. If the Egyptians could have created the pyramids in this color, they would have. They would've been fools not to. Part of me secretly wishes that one day a storied Redskin (think: Darrell Green in status) will spend the one last year of his career with The Chargers so I can have an excuse to buy one of these jerseys. Of course, then I hope said player would jam Reebok by going back to the Redskins before ever playing a down for the Chargers. Reebok has to sell the jerseys at clearance prices. I win.

Cheap Jerseys,
