Throwback Thursday: NFL Stars In The 'Wrong' Uniforms

Even though it has been two years since he traded the white and blue of the Colts for the Orange Crush of the Broncos, it will still be strange to see Peyton Manning playing in another Super Bowl for a team other than the Indianapolis Colts.

Brett Favre: New York Jets, 2008

Giants fans responded positively to them, and I have to say I enjoyed seeing the white rather than the shades of grey the Giants have been wearing for the past twelve years or so.

Much like the current Giants team, the teams of the 1970's struggled mightily - but at least they looked good doing it:
