It carried knights in battles, tournaments, and jousts. It was described by contemporary sources as the Great Horse, due to its significance. While highly prized by knights and men-at-arms, the destrier was not very common.[1] Most knights and mounted men-at-arms rode other war horses, such as coursers and rounceys.[2] These three types of horse were often referred to generically as chargers. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuckkieB Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 No Super Bowls in 50 years and counting. I'm all for rebooting the franchise. We have a new QB, will have a new HC, and I'm looking forward to the new uniforms. I'm ok with black and some type of green if that's what it comes down to, as long as the uniforms aren't busy with 3 colors or more like the latest versions of the Buccaneers, Seahawks, and Titans. Keep it 2 colors and as simple as possible, no matter what the shade of green is and I'll be ok with it. A black helmet with a green logo or green helmet with a white or black logo would both be awesome IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IT's a stretch but it's named after people doing a cheer (or perhaps charging something like a beachfront) The Browns should then have a picture of Paul Brown on their helmets (I knew this, btw, still a ridiculous team name that basically signifies nothing). A bill is not a bison. A Buffalo is similar to a bison but that's the name of their city. A bill is something you pay, or maybe eat with if you're a bird. No one calls steelworkers steelers. They call them steelworkers. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately they named the Bills after frontiers-guy Buffalo Bill Cody 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greensleeves Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 If you watched the video regarding new uniforms on the Jets site, it says basically says it will be something completely new - no existing or old logo that has been recycled. So you can basically kiss the old oval logo goodbye, as well as any older version. I think there is some confusion regarding new uniforms and new logo. It looks like both will be new.

I believe the baseball team named themselves that because thats what their manager nicknamed the players. Is the football team named after the baseball team? Despite that, I always associated it with the size of the city and the buildings it contained. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite that, I always associated it with the size of the city and the buildings it contained. the football giants were actually named after the baseball team, as was practice at the time, like pittsburgh was the pirates before the steelers, the bears were named to reflect the cubs, etc. Giants kind of means winners, big game winners, the not-chokers. The New York Giants moved to San Francisco in 1957 and retained their nickname, which dates back to 1885. It was during that season, according to legend, that New York Gothams manager Jim Mutrie referred to his players as his "giants" after a rousing win over Philadelphia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisfaceoff Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I cant believe how many people are posting the alternate mini helmets as an indication of the new uniforms. They are made for every team. I think there's also a few that haven't been posted yet too, and those also wont be the new uniforms. Lets be real here. No one knows, and no one is going to know. When we do finally find out, odds are it will be the same way the Titans leaked through, from the knock off jersey websites in China. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Allen have said both are new, but I suspect that it may take some elements from the 80s logo since they showed it a few times in that video. I still remain convinced the colors are Kelly Green and blue-grey. I dont believe this reddit at all.

Funny thing is that using black as a new primary color does not seem "bold" to me. It would sort of be mainstream actually. Its why I think the grey is more likely, probably a lighter shade than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Harper Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I can't help but think these uniforms will be fine in cold weather but when it is hot, like September in Miami, they will put us at a competitive disadvantage because the color black soaks in heat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
