Missed that but would be interested in what you are hearing I only heard about the collar...thank God its changing NASTY

Think quite a few teams are changing the collar to match the jersey color. I agree bro, hated the burgundy collar on the white jersey last season.

We were talking about the jersey change all day on twitter.. Slight change but a change none the less.

Next time you see the throwbacks it will be on Monday Night Football.

Nike did a skins black uniform with the spear helmet.. Skins didn't go with it this year.

Man i was lieeeeeeeeddddd too damn son lol we had this info last night and didnt go with it cause i was told "artic". now that they are out im 50-50 on them and would rather have seen the 70th.

People start filling the bubble at 430, i was off by 30 min.

Take it for what its worth but i asked someone who knows about the new unis. They wouldnt tell me specifics but sammy baugh style came up so i asked hot or cold and the answer was artic. So im not even thinking of those jersey combos anymore.

Have you seen them yet LL?

No and not for lack of trying. These uniforms has been under lock and key from nike and the skins.

Live stream on Redskins.com???

No not that I am aware. Skins are actually invited a few groups of season ticket holders to pre-view the plans for 80th anniversary along with the uniforms. Media will be present as well so twitter will be the first place the uniforms hit unless skins release info on the www.redskins80th.com right after they are displayed.

430pm so only about 5 hours..

Yeah, I was getting ready to say: Were Clevelands' brown pants from a couple of years ago, part of an " alternate? "

Im not sure what Cleveland designates their uniform combinations to be prior to the season. The redskins since Bruce Allen has been here have designated the Burgundy/white pants, White/Burgundy pants, 75th anniversary as a alternate which has allowed us to use the Gold pants from that uniform with burgundy jerseys at home. Skins actually had to wear white pants against the packers because that is our designated home color combo contrary to most people thinking we didn't wear them just because GB only has gold pants. Basically there a lot of weird rules that go into the uniform deal.

I thought I heard something somewhere that the jerseys were predetermined but you could wear the pants whenever. If that is the case, would it matter if we were allowed to wear only three jerseys and four pants? :whoknows:

tha'ts not the case as far as i am aware. Teams declare three uniform combos prior to the start of the year and actually well ahead of time.

Actually - as for the pants in a uniform, teams are permitted to wear "Pursuant to the official colors established for each NFL club in the League Constitution and Bylaws,

playing squads are permitted to wear only those colors or a combination of those colors for helmets, jerseys, pants, and stockings" (Section 4 article 2), and the Redskins official colors are:

"Washington Redskins - Burgandy and yellow-gold" (NFL Constitution Bylaws 19:9)

So you can still see them. No worries

not exactly bro. I understand the rules but the team is only allowed a home,away, and A alternate uniform and the unis for the year have to be designated before the year. obviously the skins will Have 1. White, 2. Burgundy, 3 is designated for the Alternate this season and what ever pants go with that uniform. so like i was saying depending on the alternate uniform we might not see the gold pants in the exact form we used the past 2 seasons because the pants probably wont work with the normal white or burgundy jersey.. thanks tho.

So what's going on with these rumors that the gold pants won't be around anymore? They were the best tweak to our uniforms in decades. If Nike doesn't want to make them we need to stand up as fans and demand the continuation of the gold pants.

The NFL only allows you to have a home,away,and a alternate uniform. The gold pants we have been wearing are part of the 75th anniversary uniform which has been our alternate so it allowed us to use the pants like we have been. The Nike 80th anniversary unis will not have the same style of gold pants and probably wouldn't work with the normal home,away uniform. The alternate uniform may have a different style gold pants and the team likleywill wear the alternate at home this year.

The Redskins are not doing any major changes to their uniforms this year. Skins uniforms will feature a different lighter more functional material and a tighter more sleek fit and cut. Seattle went all out and is breaking out a new uniform. General opinion is that the majority of NFL teams will wait until next year to make changes if they plan to do so soon. Nike came up with several designs and options for changes for every team in the league but the team decides what it wants in a uniform and has final say.

no link cause no one knows but the team .... well and you guys now lol info came from a player though.

Redskins will be wearing all Burgundy for tonight's game so support the team and wear your Burgundy to the game.
