This 1929 throwback will be worn during the 2010 season (and which, under the NFL's current uniform regulations, will remain the team's only alternate through 2014):
I admit, the brown helmet is really growing on me.
Love the no-whites look, although it's not strictly authentic. Players of the day did wear white sanitaries, just rolled very low to show as much team color as possible:
The Reebok details don't bother me as much as they have in the past. The vector logo doesn't seem quite as intrusive when rendered in gold. 
I could, however, do without the ugly and misleading "NFL EQUIPMENT" logo. The modern shield is a sharp design, easily identifiable at a distance. It defines the NFL brand across all platforms; why isn't it considered strong enough to stand on its own on the uniforms?
On the whole, this uniform is a nice compromise between the classic style and modern requirements. I think Johnny Blood would be proud.No word yet on the specific games we'll see this uniform on the field.
