1960-64 Denver Broncos

Based on a couple photographs we've come across a couple of new early Denver Broncos preseason combos.  The first one is possibly from an August 17, 1963 game against San Diego, however we haven't satisfactorily proven it is definitively from that game.  It was mentioned in the November 16 Uni Watch.  The second one, as mentioned in the Uni Watch ticker today, December 10, 2012, was submitted to UW by Tom Jacobsen and was from the 1975 book Barely Audible: A History of the Denver Broncos.  Without being absolutely positive which year they wore either of these two combos, we are temporarily adding them as an 'unknown' graphic to the bottom of the Denver Broncos' team page.

1935-36 New York Giants

After yesterday's change of the collar color on the red 1934-35 Giants' jerseys, we decided to assume the collar on the 1935-36 white Giants' jersey should also be changed from red to blue, although absent of any actual proof.

1934 Cincinnati Reds

From Tim Brulia:

Based on this picture from December Heritage magazine auctions:

"From my prior research at the LOC, I was able to confirm that - contrary to the narrative - the Gunners never wore this jersey for their three games in the NFL. They wore the white cannon jersey for all 3 of their NFL games."

"This is Swede's profile on PFR. While it does list him as playing for the Reds in 1933, it shows him playing one game for the Packers in 1934 and 3 for the Gunners. Hmm."

"I was unable to find any game action photos for the 33 Reds. The Cincinnati Enquirer featured several posed pics of the Reds in their red and white helmets and red jerseys with white numerals. For now, I will stand behind those unis as what they wore until I/we are able to uncover actual and clear game shots."

The jersey in the auction is obviously red with yellow numbers. Off the top, I know of two games where we found pics of the Reds; the early season game at Pittsburgh, where they are clearly wearing red jerseys with white numbers, and their last game before folding, the game in Philadelphia (Phila. Inquirer), where the Eagles edged the Reds, 64-0. The Reds are definitely wearing very dark (red) jerseys and pants, with numbers that were almost as dark as the jerseys. This pic would seem to indicate that the Reds did - in fact - switch from white numbers to yellow numbers somewhere along the way. As a side note, the Reds folded and the NFL was able to get the Gunners, an independent pro team, to agree to fill out the remaining Reds schedule for '34. The Gunners then in 1935, resumed their status as an independent pro team."

In conclusion, no changes to the 1933 or '35 Reds, but for the 1934 Reds, we are replacing th all red uniform with a red uniform with yellow numbers.

1985-1995 Philadelphia Eagles

Slightly modified the number font and outline based on the following email from Chris Fraleigh:

I would like to bring to your attention a small, overlooked detail in the 1995 Philadelphia Eagles Uniforms that most people have not noticed. As I am sure you know, the Eagles wore essentially the same uniforms from 1985 to 1995. However, during that 1995 season (the year before they switched their colors over to teal) slight modifications were made to the number design on the jerseys. This is most evident in the white "away" uniforms from that year. The black borders around the numbers were made much thinner than the uniforms from the previous 9 years. In addition, the Kelly Green coloring on said numbers is lighter/brighter than in the seasons prior. Also, the numbers on the shoulders are thinner and smaller than they were before. If you compare pictures/footage of the Eagles from the 1995 season with the 9 seasons prior, this becomes evident. I hope this information helps.

Due to the size of our graphics the modifications are very slight and almost imperceptible.  In the case of the 1995 Eagles, it was a matter of only 1 pixel.  We are unconvinced of any color variation between the 1985-94 Eagles and the 1995 Eagles, but will continue to research the matter.

This email also inspired a GUD Tweak: The Teal 1996 Philadelphia Eagles.

1976 San Francisco 49ers

Confirmed that the red combo was only worn in the preseason, hence the 'Preseason Only' tag added to the yearly image.  Also corrected NOB font to a sans serif font from a seriffed font.

Email from Tim to Bill:

When I was tipped off by PSD on the506 forums regarding the fact that the 49ers wore white for the entire season in 1976, I dug into the newspaperarchive database to confirm. And, yes, the Niners did go white for the full regular season in '76. The change was made to our WAH page (added to the footnote indicating teams wearing white for a full season).
Also, to confirm that the Niners did wear red in the preseason, that was also done. Of the 6 preseason games, the Niners wore red on two occasions; 8/21 against the Chargers in Honolulu and 9/4 against the Rams at the Coliseum. The other 4 preseason games the Niners wore white.
ALSO, the Niners NOB's were sans serifed as opposed to serifed as we currently have it.
So to sum up, these changes need to be made to the 1976 49ers display:

• The "Worn in preseason only" tag placed over the red combo 
• The NOB's need to be converted to the sans serif format on both jerseys.
