I heard we were switching to maroon and black.

Any truth to the rumor that Mark is working on a "History of Extremeskins, Part II" in which he answers this question?

I still recall the time my then-girlfriend (now wife) and I bumped into Blade and Die Hard at the stadium store at FedEx, back when I was a new member of this site. I think I was even wearing my Extremeskins t-shirt at the time! It was very exciting to meet the guys who were responsible for the site.

This must have been back in 2002-- Spurrier's first season in DC. I came on board here right about when Spurrier was hired--around the time all the "GatorSkins" fans became members of Extremeskins. How excited they were to have a chance to root for their Gator heroes in the NFL. Interesting time that was here on ES.

Anyway, Mark, nice job--thanks for putting this together. One of the downsides of the explosion of the site is the lack of touch so many have with the "homey" feel of the old days, and also the lack of knowledge of the contributions of so many who helped make this site what it is. I wonder how many here know that back in the day, the members would voluntarily contribute money to help the mods keep the site up.

But change is a part of life, and through many changes, this site has remained a great place.

It's strange that they'd do that, but I can't decide if I should be bothered by it or not. It's possible whoever posted it didn't even realize what they were doing. They might have just grabbed the first Skins/Patriots photo they could find and didn't look at it closely, although that's probably unlikely.

If they had shown a photo of him getting beaten on a play or something, that would be in poor taste. I guess this is no big deal, but it is a little strange if nothing else.

EDIT: They've changed the photo.

Just wondering what has happened to our burgundy paints?? I figure they will wear them at Dallas but for our first two home games we wore white on white.I would like to see the traditional Burgundy paints being worn every sunday.

We won't be wearing burgundy pants at Dallas unless we go for a burgundy-on-burgundy look, which we've never done before. Cowboys will wear their white jerseys, meaning we'll be wearing burgundy tops. So the white pants are the logical combination with that.

I think Zorn chose the white-on-white look at home because of the hot weather we've had.

Maybe there should be a sub-forum devoted to uniform talk, instead of a 181-page train wreck? :laugh:

I don't mind burgundy jerseys at home as long as they aren't with the white pants.

What pants would you prefer them with? Please don't say burgundy on burgundy. That's just awful. Now, burgundy tops with the gold pants is a sweet look.

Didn't we wear that in the 30's? :laugh:

I think that's from the 50s...anyway it's sweet looking.

What if you **** yourself instead of piss?

How could you not be excited about Brandon Lloyd?! :point2sky

From the Brandon Lloyd highlight video thread from March 2006.

I grew up with the Skins wearing white at home, so that's the way I like it.

For what it's worth, my understanding is that we'd be wearing them for two home games this year, and we've obviously only worn them once thus far. But if we're on a three-game roll heading into the Dallas game, I'd be kinda surprised to see us change things up.

Well, they looked like Florida St before Vince changed them. I think I'd rather look like a pro team more then a college.

Man it irritates me when people say our spear helmet looks like Florida State. They imitated OUR helmets, not the other way around. When the Skins retired the spear helmets, this is what FSU was wearing. OUR spear helmets came first, by far:

A guy at a Redskins Store (can't remember which location) told me we'd be wearing the throwbacks today. So either he was misinformed, or else the team was trying to create a diversion.
