  1. No, the rule is still in effect. The Rams are using the same helmets, but have removed the regular vegas gold decals and replaced it with the old "GSOT" decals. This rule is why we've seen the Packers use their regular gold helmets with their throwbacks and us use our regular helmets (sans stripes) with our throwbacks. It also lead to the demise of the Bucs' creamsicle throwbacks. I hate the rule personally.
  2. Our current shade of gold is truly gold per the color and design world. The gold of year's past with the darker tint is "old gold".
  3. I haven't heard a thing about this. Though I'm a big fan of our current unis, it's time for a change. We are a laughing stock and any changes that could be made may be a good idea. Of course, a new owner would be my first choice.
  4. When Lombardi changed the unis to look like the Pack, I wonder why he didn't use three helmet stripes instead of the single red stripe? Every other element looked just like the Packers except that.
  5. 1972 was the first year of the current helmet. If I had to guess, the gold helmet above was a prototype design or what the makers of the ponchos thought the helmet would like before the final design of the helmet was decided on.
  6. Thanks man. Yeah, over the last couple of years I've been making helmets. I've sold a few, but most of them I keep. I'm starting to run out of space, so I need to be really selective on which helmets I make going forward.
  7. Thanks guys....I really struggled with going with stripes or not. I like stripes in general, so my heart said go with them. I'm glad I did.
  8. A while back I mentioned making a "fauxback" Redskins helmet. Well, it's done. Let me know what you guys think...
  9. I don't know what it is, but I just can't get behind white pants. I've never liked them. Even as a kid, I hated playing at Dallas because it meant white pants and the sun shining on only part of the field....two of my biggest football pet peeves.
  10. The gold used by us and the Packers and the Steelers is most often referred to as "Athletic Gold". Sometimes it's called "Green Bay Gold". The old gold you are referring to Bubble Screen, is most often called "Vegas Gold".
  11. Yeah, that's right. The only exception is if you are wearing a throwback from an era that didn't have TV numbers.
  12. I really dig the helmet and pants stripes on your design. They are creative and different without being obnoxious and ugly. Good work.
  13. Here is white on burgundy... If i get some time tonight, I'll put a white on white together. It'll take a little more work than this one did.
  14. I guess it's just one of those polarizing things that half the fans will love and the other half will hate. Talking uniforms is almost like talking politics....there's nothing anyone else can say that can change people's already formed opinions. Cool avatar, by the way.
  15. Black is used as a detail color, for keylines and the like. A lot of teams can say the same. That doesn't mean it's a part of their color scheme. Saying that black is a featured part of the Skins color scheme is like saying the Steelers should include red and blue since those colors are featured in their logo. How ridiculous would Pittsburgh look in a blue or red uniform? But hey, it's featured in their logo.
  16. I just read on PFT that the Browns are officially changing their unis for next season. The helmet will remain the same, but the unis will be drastically different and modern. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/03/04/browns-unveiling-cutting-edge-uniforms-next-year/ This logo may be ugly to some, but it makes sense as elves were often referred to as "Brownies".
  17. They added the crazy tapered helmet stripe, but that's the only "modern" thing about the uni. They even went with the grey facemask.
  18. What a downgrade from what they had. They instantly went from great, to bottom of the heap.
  19. I'd be OK with a change as long as it doesn't go all crazy ala the Jags or Seahawks. I'd prefer an update that would keep us looking traditional.
