Walking Deadman

Does anyone know if it has been confirmed that we are wearing 75th anniversary uni's for the home opener???

As far as I've heard.....yes.

N/M

Nope, didn't see the jerseyjoe pic. I saw the one that was photoshopped onto Portis a few pages back. That look real nice.

I'm just hoping for the yellow helmets with the red Rs. I'll permit you to tell me whether or not we get those if you know.

Yes.

BTW....in this thread the whole outfit down to the socks are mentioned

I like the secrecy around it. It's going to make them running through the tunnel at the season opener all the more climactic if I can avoid the release.

If you haven't seen the jerseyjoe pic., then you'll be in for a treat. The jersey isn't radically different from our current whites, but they do look pretty sweet.

I'm alittle surprised they still haven't really shown anything besides that Jerseyjoe thing that popped up for a bit.

I'm not sure why either......but the jersey is supposed to be available around week 3 (Baltimore) or the preseason.

Steelers throwbacks look similar....only they're wearing white pants it looks like.

Hey I thought Cowher was retired

']Will this thread ever go away? He is going to have grandchildren and you guys will still be coming up with stuff. :doh:

Never!!!

(cue campy and sinister Dr. Evil type laugh)

Ok guys,

I modified my throwback that I did a while ago and tried to add the R helmet.

So this should be close to what we'll see.

Man, that is a nice job.

If only we could see that in reality

:notworthy

Yes,

Jersey- white throwback from 1970-1971 year

Helmet- Yellow R throwback

Pants-Gold

Socks- red and yellow stripes (see Portis and Taylor in 2005)

My understanding we'll only see it in 2 home games: Miami and ? (maybe Philly?)

Also, my understanding is that the jersey will be available for sale as a replica style but not until after week 3 of the preseason.

With the debate in the NFL about concussions and increased suicide and depression rates with multiple concussed former football players, I kind of wonder if concussions and other related head trauma played a role in this.

I mean Benoit took alot of head hits in the day, examples:

Flying Headbutts (did it alot)

Super Suplexes (from the top rope- every time he did it he always seemed to get hurt)

Chairs to the head- who hasn't in the WWE, WCW, ECW hasn't been hit in the head with a garbage can, chair, ladder etc.?

combine that with: former and probably current steriod use, low testoerone levels, probably other drugs (painkillers) and a high level of stress from home and work and jet lag from WWE road trips.

You have a guy that probably is in serious trouble.

I hope this is some BS spin storyline..

Benoit was a really great technical wrestler.

I will always remember his days as a Horseman with Malenko, Flair and Anderson.

Way too young to be dead.

Don't worry rumour is from a pretty good source is Portis and the team have already added some input and the old timers are not going to like it :laugh:

Yep, if you meant the socks......THEY ARE IN!!!!! It will be a crazy look but if it makes the players (especially Portis and Taylor) happy and winning, I'm all for it.

Considering the Steelers and Eagles already unveiled their throwbacks. I'm still confused why the Skins haven't yet. We're getting into the summer here. If people want to order an authentic, those take a few weeks if your getting it custom.

Not sure why also, but my understanding they won't be available for purchase until after the third preseason game and they'll only be available in replicas.

not too shabby but I still don't see why our current unis need any changes.

Current uni's aren't changing (now whether our current unis are the white/burgundy or white/white I have no clue), this is a throwback to commemerate the 75th. It will be used for a few games as the alternate jersey (like what the Bills have done, the Cowboys "star" unis, the Ravens all black unis and San Diego's Power Blues).

Why it's being done? $$$

Alternate jerseys sell, same with the Tees and the hat. I probably buy a throwback jersey this year (If they make a Jansen one). Alot of fans like a little variety now and then (just look how many talk about ANY changes to the uniform in the past year or so). I love the current look (white with the Burgundy or Cardinal Red pants) but to see an alternate look now and then is fine by me.

But what do they call him???

Its what I thought to, but still - has anyone seen them yet................................................................................ (my dots are longer than yours)

Yeah, I want to see and buy them as well

(But hopefully we can see some more "core" authentics like Sellers or Jansen)

I can't wait to see Crystal's ass every time you post. I haven't seen the uni's at the Redskins store yet, has anyone else seen it?

I don't think they're available yet..........

']Will this thread ever die? :doh:

The day Eli retires........maybe

nice to know that ES is marijuana friendly now?????

Somebody call Ricky Williams!!!!!!

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Unless they issue "retro" jerseys in legendary Redskins players (Mann, Rypien, Butz, Coleman ,Warren, Jacoby etc.) I think I'll pass. I've been burned enough with buying current players like Bailey, Davis and Arrington :mad: so from now on I'll be getting throwbacks

If the Skins do start to win again, maybe it will be worth getting a Campbell jersey-- but if they go nowhere it would be like owing a Stephen Davis or Brad Johnson (or even worse Deion Sanders or Bruce Smith)

It's Giants week....

BUMP IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man I hate following Chewey up, :notworthy: Gotta be fast around here. One more from the past.

:notworthy :notworthy

Eli............

and a Devastatin' Dave reference :applause:

Gold star and bonus points to PCS :point2sky

:laugh:

Y'know this thread will still be going long after Eli has retired........

BWHAHAHAHAHA

Didn't Dexter have a line about "I hate the Cowboys, they Suck"

Ok, if anybody does a sig. bet with Tom [Giants Fan] this year......that's what he'll have to use if he loses the bet. :laugh:

Watched ECW last night and here's what I thought:

The Good:

They stuck with the "low-budget" aspects of the original ECW. It's not the fireworks and contstant waaaayyyyy too long monologing of the WWE stuff. Not flashy, but it's ECW not WCW or WWE and that's good.

The Sandman.....wow, that guy is just crazy. Also nice to see Sabu(wasn't he in TNA?), Justin Credible.

Liked the new Kurt Angle.....he wrestled techinically, but was just sick in how he destroyed Justin Credible.

Nice to see RVD with 2 belts.

Nice DX commercial in btw segemnts.

The Bad.

Too much WWE "inter-war" stuff (remember when WCW and ECW was brought to the WWE years ago? Same plot line as far as I'm concerned.) it was lame. Edge and Jon Cena was predictable and boring. Knew edge would jump RVD and knew (easily) that RVD and Cena would be feuding still.

THe battle royal sucked!!!! Lame, lame lame...when it's an all weapon BR why wait until everybody gets tossed out THEN grab weapons. Plus, who didn't think Sabu would win after Big Show tossed him and he didn't go out. Too predictable.

I'm never against hot women who want to strip.....but a) there was no stripping (for the most part) and it was filler inbtw segments, no extra plot point. Pretty lady, wonder if she'll be a new manager or a female ECW wrestler?

No way should you have the ECW champ get OWNED by another brand or wrestling promotion ON YOUR OWN SHOW. RVD got owned by Edge....that really sucked for ECW to be so extreme and yet outclassed by the #1 Seed not even the former champ.

Overall, not that great, but it was the "pilot" episode so it should get better as the show progresses.
