Cassel looks like he has spent to much time in the tanning booth
Purple Pride till the end.

Yeah, not a fan of the helmets. "Cheesy" is a good description of the little oddball treatments for the numbers and the goofy shoulder stripes.

Oh well, they're still better than the last uniform.

If those jerseys are purple, than the helmets are super super super purple.

Ponder Better watch his back. Cassell is Decent with a good team. He didn't do well with the chiefs because they just were not good. I hope Cassell takes the starting job. I don't see any "IT" factor in Ponder

Patterson needs to start over Simpson Week 1. Simpson is not starter material. Patterson has proved that he can make plays on the outside and he gives us more options than Percy Harvin did for us.

Here's a screen capture of the PURPLE uniforms off the NFL feed. If they look blue on your screens, your color settings are out of whack.

They're definitely purple on my screen, but I do think the helmet looks a bit weird

You don't have to sue them, you just have to color-calibrate your monitor.

I like the new flat purple helmets. Yum yum. I almost forgot about the new unis altogether, looks pretty vintage with a modern twist. A thumbs up from me
