Section106

This is my periodic public service announcement to remind our fans that the shade of gold in the uniform in called "Maize". As in corn. Because our mascot is a Native American and the Native Americans created corn by selective breeding. Did you know that corn cannot live in the wild? It is wholly dependent on humans to distribute its seed and grow and pass on it genes. So for the love of all that is awesome with football and native horticulture, stop calling our shade of gold "Mustard." It is "Maize." Thank you for your attention.

Well crap.

Can someone explain Zardes to me? I get that he's fast but I haven't seen anything from him that would justify inclusion on the USMNT. There has to be a winger somewhere that can get take on his man, get off a decent cross, and get back on defense. Zardes is just not that player, IMHO. And I hope JK doesn't start Guzan in goal. He's shell shocked from his time in the EPL.

No. Nike brought the original MLS teams these abominations, with the exception of DC United which was Adidas.

Just a public service reminder that our colors are Burgundy and Gold. And the Gold in the uniform is a shade called Maize. If you want to look at one of the best uniform combinations in the history of the league please look at my avatar. Thank you.

The seats that bounce are still there. They are on a track so they could be moved for the baseball configuration. The temporary stands where the risers in the end zones. They are gone due to the Nationals. The north stand was scraped because the cost to take them down and rebuild them was around 40 grand each time, IIRC. And since the Nats weren't paying rent... I get your point about building new bouncy seats as gimmick. But you wrote that they bounced because of the atmosphere and the team being good. That isn't correct. The seats bounced because they are built on springs. Wouldn't fans at FedEx jump up and down to bounce the stands if they were able too? I bet the stands would've bounced tremendously during the 2012 run. With the amount of drinking at games I bet the stands would bounce no matter what was happening on the field. Drunk people are silly. I think that new bouncy stands would be unnecessary unless the new stadium was designed for multi-use and needed to reconfigure its seating. I don't know why Snyder would go to the trouble and expense for nostalgia's sake.

Not to pick nits but the RFK visitor side seats bounce because they are on springs and a track. I have given up my Skins tickets for DC United tickets and will experience the RFK bouncing seats in person again this summer.

It has already been posted in this thread. We wear a shade of gold called "Maize". Because we are the Redskins. Natives grew this thing called maize. We call it corn. You guys know that right? The throwback pants gold is not a shade we have ever worn in the past. It is a stylized version of what an old uniform would look like. We are the Burgundy and Gold, and the color gold has many, many shades. We wear maize. Look at the picture under my username. That is one of the best unis ever. Period!

We have worn Burgundy tops with Gold pants longer than any other combo. It is our real uniform.

What's amazing to me is that no one has pointed out that we wore all whites in the '60. With the love that combo gets you'd think any pictorial evidence would get more attention.

Traditional and simple are the best. Why do you youngins have to change everything? I'll say again: Feather helmet uni FTW!

IF you're interested they are offering payment plans again this year. You have to have the agreement in place before the due date of 4/1. I've opted for a four payment schedule.

The alt would be white jersey w/ burgundy numbers and no stripes, etc... And I was trying to say that as a throwback variant we should rock the feather helmut unis. Just like Sonny wore but with updated colors. The other color scheme could be our unis going forward. But since I don't make the decisions....

I'd go with a solid gold helmet, solid burgundy jersey with white numbers & no stripes, gold pants that matched the helmets with no stripes, and solid burgundy socks with no stripes. We actually wore that combo with Sammy Baugh. It is a classic. And then for fun we need the 60's Feather helmet uni. That was awesome.

I would love to see a uni change to a solid burgundy helmet with no logo, solid burgundy top with no stripes, gold pants with no stripes and solid burgundy socks with no stripes. That look is clean, crisp and classic. It is a combination we used in the 30's so it is traditional as well.
