@CliffBattles: I usually hate new uniform mock-ups, but I must admit I think these look pretty cool!

I'll go first...
Absolutely. I am a huge traditionalist, but when I saw those black uniforms (I know they aren't real... at least not yet) I got so excited. Let's keep the same model, but modernize it a little bit.
That'll pump up the players as well.
That said, I don't want them to go overboard like Maryland or Oregon has.
I completely agree, and you hit what was going to be my point. DON'T GO OVERBOARD! As trivial of a change as it may be, in sports we have seen time and time again that changing the uniform can go far in creating a new mindset or "culture" in an organization. I am a traditionalist as well but some changes are good. For instance, I love the current logo on the helmet where the feathers hang straight down and I hate the old one where the feathers unnaturally curve around. This is the kind of small "tweaks" I am talking about.
We have not had a franchise quarterback in forever, and finally it looks like we have the kind of guy that can spearhead a true culture change for the organization. I say lets shake off the bad mo-jo from top to bottom with a new, or alternative uniform to help mark the start of a new era for the team.
The key to this sort of thing is to not go crazy with it like the aforementioned Oregon Ducks. The Skin's don't need a new carbon fiber, hologram, 3d, virtual reality helmet for each day of the week! Something that marks the start of the new era while still trumpeting the history of our proud franchise.
No matter what happens to the uniform, I can't wait to see RG3 in it absolutely DESTROYING the NFC EAST for the next decade plus! HTTR!

They are a THROWBACK to the Sammy Baugh era uniforms. That WAS the Redskins colors then. It would completely miss the point to use modern colors i.e. "gold" pants.
