No, I do not have that game.............

[thelatebrianjones]

This was not a strike game- this was the last non-strike game in '87

[virtute71]

wow, i kinda miss the old late 70s/early 80s jets uniforms!

[jimmylegs06]

both teams NEVER should have switched their uniforms.

Another good game in the long and heated Patriots-Jets rivalry

Should be titled "Monday nite before the 87 players strike"

The Jets switched their Helmets, during the 1994 NFL 75th Anniversary year. They liked the throwback style the old Jets use to wear during the 60's & 70's. The Jets recently wore the NY Titans gear for throwbacks. A lot of NY'ers want this uniform back and I don't blame them. It's a great Kelly green compaired to the winter green scheme they wear now.

Hard to imagine why anybody would support the owners and not the players who take the risks on the field. You say you don't like the money they get paid?....Talk to the owners who don't seem to mind signing the checks. I think most people who do not support the players, then or now, are simple minded and resentful. let the owners screw you if you want.

I remember a comedy sketch with characters portraying Reagan and Gorbachev where Reagan says to Gorbachev, "We can watch the football game, but it's scab football though." And Gorbachev replies, "That's ok, I LOVE scab football!"

@thndrct218 At least the NFL ended up having the last laugh against the players by bringing in the replacement teams. Say what you will about the quality of play, give me minor league quality over "no game at all" any time. If these idiots go on strike next year, I hope the owners bring in replacements again, or the networks begin showing UFL games.

@vassosagapo Primarily because the logos used here were starting to look dated by the 1990s and had to be overhauled. Same reasons a lot of teams began changing logo designs by the mid to late 90s. That's the danger of having detailed logos rather than simplistic stuff. (Stuff like the Bengals, the Rams, and the Cowboy logos are simple and timeless.)

i just remember when a no-name strike redskins team beat the cowboys.

Faaola, what a bust that guy was. Only time I remember a first rounder not making it past the final cut.
