Throwbacks Back for Good?!?!

UPDATE - Here is an online petition that people are starting to link to: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/BringBackTheThrowbacks/
It's old but still open so go ahead and sign away if you like the classic look.

Now that would be sweet. Apparently Nolan was mum on the whole idea but alluded that the sickest jersey in sports may be coming back. We know we're going to get to see them at least twice - once for the throwdown with the Cards on Opening Night and once on a date to be determined. But seeing it every Sunday would be something else.

As all the truly Faithful should know, our current unis are loosely based on the throwbacks (from the 1940s) that we wore in 1994 for the run to the Super Bowl - 13 friggin' years ago. But the "new" throwbacks would be the ones we wore during the Glory Years in the '80s and '90s (modeled by Alex Smith above - TD to Jerry Rice not included). This is a much better idea than the proposed helmet change from 1991 that was announced on the 10pm news and retracted at 11pm after every person between from Portland to San Luis Obispo threatened Eddie D's life. For good reason. Now we just need the Pats and Broncos to bring back their old helmets and all will be well.

(More sweet throwback helmets here. You know you're getting old when throwbacks are what you grew up with...)
