I actually think that the recent changes that the Bucs and Jags made are the worst.
Agreed. They are nauseating. (to me at least)

Absolutely. I consider the Bengals in '81 to be the worst uniform change in NFL history. That's why I chose the cutoff date of '80.
I much prefer the 1981 Bengals uniforms over the pre-81 uniforms.

Also, I hate the name "Tennessee Titans" and the uniforms and logo they currently well. They should have stayed the Oilers. If basketball can have the LA Lakers, why can't we have the Tennessee Oilers? If they did have to change the name, they could have come up with something better than Titans, which appears to have been chosen purely for alliterative purposes.

Jamal Lewis does not get enough credit as a cog on the 2000 Ravens SB champ.

1,300 yards and 4.4 YPC. Heck, you could make a case he might have been SB MVP (103 yards, TD)

They really had to give it to somebody from the defense in Super Bowl XXXV. It was the most dominating defensive performance since the Steelers in Super Bowl IX, and like the Vikings against Pittsburgh, it was due to a special teams letdown that prevented it from being a shutout.

They chose that name because Nashville is considered the Athens of the south.

They even have their own Parthenon:

The 2003 Patriots are the worst 14-2/SB champ team ever.

They were winning games WAY too close against far inferior teams and outside of SB 38, Brady really didn't do anything that year. The first two SB's were essentially won in spite of Brady

Yep. He stinks.

Somebody else drove down into field goal range in the last 90 seconds?
