Now that training camps are in full swing and the first preseason game is over, the NFL season has already begun.
We could predict Super Bowl winners, breakout players, or even the Green Bay Packers to win the Super Bowl, but why not rank the best uniforms in the entireNFL. I hope you enjoy.
Each of the following teams will be rated on a 1-10 scale for each of the following categories:
A. Color Scheme: It is essential to have the right color scheme. Some colors simply look good together while others don’t.
B. Helmets: On a football uniform, the helmet is one of the most recognizable parts. A sharp design or pride stickers give a bonus to a team.
C. Flashiness/Sharpness: There has to be some excitement; I don’t want a jersey to be plain and boring. However, there can also be too much flashiness. A team needs to be sharp but flashy at the same time.
D. Tradition: It has to have some tradition in it. When you look at the jersey, it has to remind you of great players, legendary coaches, and dominating teams.
- All ties go to the winner of category C.

Final Thoughts: The Bucs have gone from having the worst uniforms in the 70s and 80s from having some of the best in the 2000s. It looks flashy and new, but it lacks the tradition of some of the other teams. With one Super Bowl in 2003 some more solid seasons in the current uniforms could move them to an even higher position.

Final Thoughts: Michael Vick may not be wearing the black and red of the Atlanta Falcons anymore. Whether he does or does not, the uniforms still look pretty solid. Like the Bucaneers, Atlanta's uniforms lack the tradition aspect which makes some of the top uniforms even more special.

Final Thoughts: "How about them Cowboys!" The cowboy's logo and uniforms may be the most recognizable of all the NFL jerseys but they lack some of the flash that can put a uniform in the top three. Still, when the Cowboys take the field they always seem to look really sharp.

Final Thoughts: Eli may look bad when he plays the game but when he stands on the sidelines in the Giants uniforms he looks a lot better. Like the Cowboys, the Giants's uniforms aren't too flashy but their color scheme and traditional look put their uniforms in the top ten.

Final Thoughts: From Montana to Young to Rice, the 49ers uniforms have been through five Super Bowls since the early 1980s. It's one of the classic uniforms of the NFL. As you may already know I love the classics.

Final Thoughts: The guys in Denver may have some of the best all-around uniforms in the NFL. They aren't the top in tradition of flashiness but they score well in multiple categories. If the Broncos sucess continues they could even score higher on the charts.

Final Thoughts: Some people may hate the teal green and orange look but what other colors would you want for a team named after a marine animal. The still look pretty flashy but still maintaining the traditional look. The Dolphins have had Super Bowl victories and an undefeated seasons sporting these uniforms so the tradition is certainly there.

Final Thoughts: Like the Dolphins, the Skins aren't highly regarded for their uniforms. However, they do seem to be pretty sweet anyway. The crimson and gold look great together and the facemask is the best in the NFL. Don't forget that during the 1980s this was one of the league's premier teams so they certainly have the tradition factor in their corner.

Final Thoughts: Bears fans and Vikings fans aren't going to like this. Maybe its my bias but they Packers' uniforms look so sharp and still have a little flash. However, the tradition in these uniforms goes so far back. The Lombardi championships of the 60s to the Favre era of the 90s and 2000s. Maybe it's my bias as a Packer fan but I love these uniforms.!

Final Thoughts: I am sure placing the Rams at at number one will create a little controversy since I have rarely heard anyone regard their uniforms as the league's best. However, when I look at the Rams uniforms they are nearly flawless. They have the best helmets in the league with Rams horns and color scheme matches perfectly. They certainly have some flash but it isn't ovedone. The tradition may not be their strong point but it isn't horrible either. Before you knock them down a peg for tradition remember that I am rating the best uniforms. Tradition is only one factor.
