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.

Peace

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...

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.
