Thanks for all the comments about the A’s pillbox hat! All very interesting!

Most will disagree, but Brown on brown would be sweet. I actually want to see dookie catching passes of dookie.

Plus the name Browns makes me thing of… well what do we normally associate the color brown with.

as for a side note…The Texans all red uni’s were awesome. It almost brought back a forgotten retro look. How many teams wear red white and blue? But the all red with a navy or “deep steel” blue helmet was killer. I miss the baby blues and the oil derrick. The Texans should wear red all the time…with red pants. Not just 2 times a year.

The A’s used to have a short season farm team located in Medford, Oregon. They used Oakland’s colors and logo until the 90’s. I can remember getting the “pillbox” cap at Miles Field. (where they played)in 84 or 85. I cannot recall if the team wore these caps but They were selling them in Medford, and I had one.

Here’s a better image of the Jags black striped pants:

I don’t know; I don’t think it looks good even with the stripe. The jersey also has teal numbers, so it looks like they went with the black numbers and stripe-less black pants the following year.

IMO, it would be a huge step up if the browns added two orange stripes (orange stripe, brown stripe, orange stripe) to these pants to match the stripe treatment on their sleeves. it would be a much more complete look. otherwise, these pants (and the saints’ black pants and the jags’ black pants) just make the players look like they have big upper bodies and chicken legs and it looks terrible.

Ironically enough, the Jags used to have a stripe on the side of their black pants, which approximated the multi-color border around their uniform numbers. They only wore it for one season, if I recall correctly, before going to the plain black with a Jag-head on the hip.

You can sort of see it here, but I’ll see if I can find a better picture:

If the Brownies wore white socks to go with the brown pants, it might just work.

What a bunch of cry babies you all are. Everyone gets so damn defensive lighten the fuck up people we’re talking about fucking uniforms not exactly religion, abortion and gun control.

You don’t like the Nike bit skip it! I couldn’t careless about Paul’s or Bryan’s views about logo creep or Nike or actually most of the stuff they say (Sorry guys). I come here to look at the weird uniforms that pop up sometimes.
