8. LA Rams

These uniforms could be the best uniforms in the league…except for that helmet.  I get it.  It’s cute to have rams horns painted on the helmet, but it just doesn’t work in real life.  It almost knocked them out of the Top Ten for me.  Once you get past that, I dare you to find something wrong with these uniforms.

7. New England Patriots

This may be the most painful thing about doing this list.  If I’m being honest, the Patriots uniforms are among in the best in the league.  It just might be one more thing to hate the Patriots for.  Not only are they winning, they look good while doing it.  Of course the flip side of that, they can also look good while losing a Super Bowl.  Take that, Tom Brady!  (I’m gonna go throw up now)

6. New Orleans Saints

I just got back from throwing up after slotting the Patriots in the Top Ten and I may have to do it again after this one.  But I have to give credit where credit is due.  These are good uniforms.  Unlike so many teams, all the of the uniform combinations the Saints use look good.  The logo is clean and sharp. The colors pop against each other.  Blah Blah Blah. Moving on.

5. Denver Broncos

For the Denver Broncos, the uniforms pictured above look so amazing that it makes me almost forget about the hideousness of their orange based uniforms.  I have no problems with orange, just as a base color it’s too much.  Sorry Bucco Bruce fans.

4. Philadelphia Eagles

Before I say anything else, let me remind you that the Bucs closed out the Vet AND opened the Linc by beating the tar out of the Eagles.  That said, there isn’t much to like about the Philadelphia Eagles, but their uniforms do look good.  It’s the right color of green, mixed with black and white to make this feel like a man’s uniform.  Even though I rank these uniforms higher than our own Bucs, image how good these two former Eagles will look in Pewter and Red in 2018.

3. Dallas Cowboys

These are the uniforms that Detroit wishes they had, it’s just Dallas got to the Crayon box first and took the good blue.  They meet all three criteria of being simple, classic, and timeless.  It’s a good looking uniform, even if we hate watching them play.

2. Green Bay Packers

Kelly Green and Bright Yellow.  By all rights, this color combination shouldn’t be anywhere near the Top Ten.  But there’s something about it that’s so quintessential football.  Maybe it’s the history of the franchise.  Maybe it’s respect.  But what ever it is, it’s a timeless uniform that should never be changed and will never go out of style on the gridiron.

1. Pittsburg Steelers 

The 1970’s called and wanted their uniforms back.  But the 90’s laid in a claim.  So did the 2000’s.  And so did 2017.  I have to admit, I really didn’t want to put the Steelers at the top of this list, but like the Packers, this uniform is so iconic to the game of football, and it’s that way for a reason.  The only reason they are number one instead of Green Bay is because black looks so much better than green.
