Retro Jerseys - Top 5 NFL

Keeping with the theme of my personal top 5 jerseys, here are my top 5 NFL retro, or throwback you may call them, football jerseys.

1 - Johnny Unitas Baltimore Colts White Jersey Number 19 

This jersey could easily be called a shirt, instead of a football jersey.  Do you remember when football players wore long sleeve jerseys?  Would certainly impair the throws of some of today's All-Pro quarterbacks.  This jersey is a classic blue on white long sleever of quite possibly the greatest quarterback ever. 







2 - Walter Payton Chicago Bears Blue Jersey Number 34

A super cool jersey, not only because it's a Bears classic, but also because it's the jersey of my personal pick for the best running back to ever play the game.  He might not have all the stats, but boy could he ever run.....and block.....and catch.  He could run around you, over you, or through you.  Check out this YouTube video of Walter Payton.  It actually gave me chills.  AWESOME!   



3 - John Elway Denver Broncos Orange Jersey Number 7

Some might say that this color jersey is "gaudy".  I'd say it's just retro cool.  This jersey makes me recall the younger gun-slinging John Elway bringing the Broncos back against the Browns in the playoffs.  A cool jersey of one of the coolest quarterbacks of all-time.  





4 - Bart Starr Green Bay Packers Green Jersey Number 15

Ever see pictures or film of the ice bowl? This is basically the jersey that Bart Starr wore in one of the coldest, and coolest, football games ever.





75 - Dan Marino Miami Dolphins Teal Jersey Number 13

Is this jersey teal?  I don't know, whatever color it is, it's cool, and so is Dan Marino.  Another contender for best quarterback of all-time.  The dude led is so many passing categories you can't even count them all.  Stud QB with a super cool jersey.
