SlinginSammy HOF '63 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 White on white started in the 03 season opener against the Jets if I remember correctly Yeah, I was at that game. If I didn't have this brainlock linking them to SS I could deal with them. They almost did redeem themselves in that run in 2005 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RansomthePasserby Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 That was a Vinny era uniform. That team no longer exists with the exception of Moss, Cooley and Alexander. I never cared for them as they look like practice uniforms.... I don't really associate uniforms with people, so the fact that Vinny happened to be here when we wore white on white doesn't bother me. I never cared for them as they look like practice uniforms. Burgundy and Gold are our primary colors. I want to see us represent those colors on the uniform somewhere as the primary color. Fair enough. ---------- Post added October-25th-2012 at 04:42 PM ---------- RG3 would look hella clean dusting fools in all white... just sayin :thumbsup: Truth.

s0crates Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 (edited) Time for the throwbacks! I hardly ever post stuff from BR, but this is pretty good: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1391400-redskins-throwback-uniforms-breaking-down-washingtons-80th-anniversary-unis Unveiled earlier this year, the Washington Redskins will finally wear their 80th anniversary throwback uniforms in Week 9 against the Carolina Panthers.The uniforms are designed as a modernization of the team's 1937 uniforms, which was the year the Redskins moved from Boston to Washington, D.C. They will also be worn in accordance with the franchise's "homecoming" celebration, where old players and coaches come back to FedEx Field to be honored. Nonetheless, as we have seen in recent years, the unveiling of a throwback jersey oftentimes leads to widespread polarization of opinion. For every powder-blue San Diego Chargers look, there is, well, whatever the Pittsburgh Steelers wore last week. How do these throwbacks grade out? Here is a look at a complete breakdown of the Redskins' 80th anniversary uniforms. Helmet: 8/10 . . . Follow the above link for the rest. I love 'em. So do a lot of other people it seems. PFT also has an article on this which calls them "one of the best throwback ensembles": http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/10/31/redskins-to-unveil-throwbacks-on-sunday/ Edited November 1, 2012 by s0crates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HogNose Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 White on white started in the 03 season opener against the Jets if I remember correctly Great game and good energy at FedEx that night. My wife had to get John Hall's autograph after the win. I think it was one of the first Thursday night openers. ---------- Post added November-1st-2012 at 08:27 AM ---------- Time for the throwbacks!

TD_washingtonredskins Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I'm excited for these and hope they somehow catch on as our alternative uniforms for a while. I got the RG3 replica throwback and love wearing it every Sunday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan T. Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Uniporm for you... Here are this week's throwbacks, made to look (somewhat) like the 1937 uniforms with leather helmets: The helmets are patterned to look like the leather helmets from the era: (Note: The red shoe at the bottom of this photo is not part of the uniform.

pjfootballer Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Notice that there are no shoulder or sleeve numbers. I know NFL rules require one or the other, but I guess in this case, you don't have to have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sizzla3000 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I have seen a replica of the helmet at the Redskins store. They are awesome. I really wish I was a baller. Those things retail for like 700 bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Spearfeather Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 (edited) When the 80th Anniversary uniforms were first unveiled. the two things that jumped out at me, were the pants and of course the helmets. I thought, yeah, the 1937 helmets were leather but they were also gold. I thought: Why didn't they just use gold? But, if they wanted to emphasize the " old school " look, I think it makes more sense to use the natural brown leather coloring, so you know THIS IS LEATHER. Then, that shade of gold for the pants?. Why that? Why not use the gold that they actually wore with the 1937 uniforms, that were the inspiration for the " 80th ", ( although there are subtle differences between these and the 1994 throwbacks. With the '94 throwbacks, both logo patches faced forward. The 1937 and and our " 80th " have both patches facing to the right ). After looking at our uniforms from our earliest years ( '32, '33, '34, '35 ), the pants actually make sense, as it looks like a nod to the years when the franchise was in Boston. 1932 1933 1934 1935 In 1936, they went to this: before coming to Washington the following year. And if your wondering about the colors of the Braves in 1932, there's this short thread from five years ago:http://www.extremeskins.com/showthread.php?228888-WOW!!!We-were-NOT-originally-the-quot-Boston-Braves-quot-but-rather-the-quot-Newark-Tornadoes-quot-!!/page2 Colorwerx list the 1932 Braves as: Blue, gold, and white. The 1930 Newark Tornadoes as: Navy, orange, and white. Looking forward to seeing these in person on Sunday, along with a decisive beatdown of the Panthers, Edited November 2, 2012 by Spearfeather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RG3toMonk Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Burgundy/Gold-yellow pants, Burgundy & white, or white on white? Or the throwbacks? Just your guesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Stupid Loser Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 (edited) We will never win with yellow pants. They are emasculating.

DM72 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 I would love for this team to go back to the tradition of wearing white shirts and burgundy pants at home and only wearing burgundy shirts and white pants on occassion. They can throw the gold pants in the trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can throw the gold pants in the trash. Maybe I'm superstitious but I feel like it's impossible fo us to win unless we wear the white jersey and burgundy pants. Look throughout Redskins history and there seems to be a correlation between the amount of games we win and the unis we wear. Bring back the white jersey and burgundy pants...or at the very least the white on whites. We won with those too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
