HOF Game Uniforms

Anyone watch/watching the Hall of Fame Game between Houston and Buffalo? What's with the orange striped referee jerseys? Thoughts?

They are called "legacy uniforms" I believe, i.e. throwbacks.

These are what the AFL officials used to wear. Both teams playing are former AFL franchises.

Thanks for the info.

Well, for what it's worth, I vote Blech!! Yuk!

Some of the "less than skinny" officials may look like "The Great Pumpkin" in those. (No offense Charlie Brown)

Don't think we are gonna see any Great Pumpkins in the NFL

Though it appears to be authentic, the black trim on the orange shirt is killing me...

Isn't it rich?
Are we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground,
You in mid-air.
Send in the clowns.

I think the old official's uniforms are great. I wish I could get one. I loved the old AFL days.

Although the R's hat was awful, I liked them.

Well, based on this previous post too, looks like most of us are in agreement - ARGH! 😮

Orange and Black for halloween weekend---then can them!

Should have saved these unies for the Bengals - Browns game.
