The NFL announced yesterday a slew of 16 legacy games this year to be played in honor of the 50th anniversary of the launch of the AFL, and the New England Patriots (formerly known as the Boston Patriots) are one of these teams that will play in throwback attire for a number of regular season matchups this year. The Patriots will play in four of these recently-announced legacy games, where the team will dress in its traditional garb - white uniforms and white helmets with the original Patriots logo from the team’s 1963 divisional championship season - in honor of the celebration.
The New England Patriots will open their 2009 NFL season and play the first of their legacy games on September 14 in a Monday Night Football showdown against Terrell Owens and the Buffalo Bills, bringing the spirit of football to televisions across the country. New England will then face off against the Denver Broncos in another legacy game on October 11, rounding out the team’s last two legacy games against the Tennessee Titans (previously the Houston Oilers) on October 18 and against the Miami Dolphins on December 6.
