I've been pounding the drum, so to speak, for these since the name change. I would add a gold ribbon to the spear (Spartan style), maybe a single stripe to the sleeve and obviously not use the current name. With this logo - Warriors (I know, not happening), I would go with Sentinels. These unis and the current W and call them RedWolves. My .02 HTTR

I forgot to mention that option. I would be in for LT Brown trade but no more than a second. Maybe 3rd this year and 4th next. Give him Scherffs money. HTTR

I agree. I am hopeful that they come to their senses and trade him. I find it hard to believe that another team will not give 2nd for him (at least a 3rd). I would rather have a 3rd this year and move on then play him, let him walk only to get a comp 3rd (maybe) the following year. A high second rounder gives them flexibility in the draft obviously. #19 Darrisaw / Jenkins 2nd round - Wyatt Davis G Ohio St. 2nd round - Jabril Cox 3rd round - Caden Sterns 3rd round - Dyami Brown / Davis Mills or #19 LB - JOK or Collins 2nd round - Wyatt Davis G Ohio St. 2nd round - Eichanberg / Little / Carmen 3rd round - Caden Sterns 3rd round - Dyami Brown / Davis Mills Either one of these scenarios I like Charles to compete at LT/RT or LG. If Scherff is traded pencil in Schweitzer at RG and see what happens with the rooks and Charles. Darrisaw - Davis - Roullier - Schwietzer - Charles Charles - Schweitzer - Roullier - Davis - Eichanberg HTTR

Sure. But the "best" deal isnt always the lowest price. Sometimes in life you get what you pay for. So the better "deal" may be to pay a little more for something of much higher quality than to pay less for something of low quality. In this case the better offer isnt always the lowest pick. Especially since this a choice between 21 and 19 with only a negligible difference in draft position. Now if the 49ers offer up #12 that would probably be a no brainer. But the Lions may feel that moving Stafford to the AFC is worth more than 2 slots in the draft if it were between Indianapolis (21) and Washington (19) in this scenario. Washington could always sweeten the pot by offering another pick or a player of course. HTTR

The front chest plate says "WASHINGTON" now, it did say "REDSKINS". HTTR

I was looking forward to the new look but did not realize how much I would miss the old logo on the helmets. The numbers are ok, but terribly redundant with the numbers on the sleeves also. I think the W would have been better. But this is the all time classic from the modern era. White over burgundy. Best in the NFL right there. So sad. The 60's dark burgundy true gold are still what I would like to see them go to as the Redwolves or Warriors. Just my .02 HTTR

I agree with the darker burgundy being the better look but the pics below, I'm pretty sure, are the same color. Just the difference between a day game and night game. I dont think they have made any recent changes to the burgundy color. My personal choice would be to use the throwback jersey and pants that had the faux leather helmets but... 1. The helmets are the darker burgundy with the current logo only a little bigger and no center stripes. The dark gray / black face mask too. Our logo is not the issue. It is the name people have a problem with. I disagree, but that is for a different post. 2. Put an arrow on the sleeves of the jersey, no stripes 3. Socks are single bold burgundy up high and white below. Like the pic underneath.

I know we all have our opinion and Bruce is the one calling the shots but... If we are going to go throwback at least do a a better job with what you have. The one helmet rule means the burgandies will not match, but it does not mean the logos cant match. Just put the spear on the helmet and keep the old school sleeve logo. For a permanent update. I would take this uni, darken the helmet w/ oversized logo and use a spear on the sleeves. Probably make the pants match the numbers. In the second photo, the lighting almost makes the helmets and jerseys match.

They would be happy to do it but the new paints dont dry as fast as the old ones and there is not enough turn around time to get them back to practice after game day.

I was referring to their helmets. Luck, Davis, P. Manning and Cousins all had the old Riddell Revolution that curved around the jaw. I am pretty sure that was discontinued and they switched to their current helmets. Cousins face mask like P. Manning's is very similar to his old one. I think Riddell did a custom for them. I really like the oversize logo. I would like to see this incorporated in an update using our current style. Either no stripe or single yellow stripe and the darker maroon ala the throwbacks with the current logo oversized on the helmet. And get our stripes to match on jersey and pants. I personally would put spears on the jerseys (no stripes) and either a single or no stripe on the pants with solid socks. Old school simple look.But that's just me. HTTR

I saw something on this recently. An equipment manager said the biggest issue is with discontinued helmets. If they could get every player in the league a second helmet in the same size and model they currently have then they could create a second version but that is not possible. That way they would simply insert their 'broken in" pads to the second shell. Cousins and Davis (that I have noticed) along with A. Luck have switched this year due to their previous model being discontinued. P. Manning switched last year. I dont agree with the rule either. Seams strange that a college can dictate head gear without liability and the NFL cannot. HTTR

I just dont get why Bruce is SO married to the yellow pants. I know the team had them when his father was the coach but it was Lombardi who picked that set up. Along with the yellow helmet and circle R logo. He was trying to replicate the Packers look that he came from. For what it is worth, absolutely nothing on its own, but I hope Bruce (and Dan) listens to the fans a little bit I would like to see an update using the original darker Burgundy and true Gold (not yellow) whatever that may be. Whether it is what they currently use on the throwbacks or similar to the Seminoles, Saints or 49ers pants. Oversize the current logo a bit, maybe go to a single gold stripe on the helmet or no stripe and put the spear on the sleeves. Single stripe on the pants and keep the socks simple. Old school clean classic look. HTTR

I do believe this to be accurate but it has always amused me. Although George's teams played with these uniforms they were designed by Vince to copy the Packers, right down to yellow pants and a single letter on the helmet. All George did was replace the script R on the helmet with the logo. I also do agree with most that I prefer the throwback version of the uni. Darker true Maroon and true gold (not yellow gold). I would like to see our current throwbacks with a spear on the side shoulder (or use old logo on helmet, new / old logo at the same time is unstable) and paint the helmets to match with out any stripes or a single gold stripe and black or gray face mask (neutral color) with solid color socks. Very old school classic look. Just my opinion. But as has been said, this is Bruce's decision mostly and probably will not change. I would be happy with at least Maroon pants / White jersey combo. I do tire of the yellow pants ALL the time. And the jersey stripes don't match pants, socks or helmet. How hard can it be to change this? If you're going with this style, Bruce, then go all in. Change the jersey too. HTTR

I like this color scheme the best also. Not that I dislike the current scheme but I have always wished for the classic Burgundy (not maroon) and Gold (not yellow). It would be nice to see a version of this uni with the current logo (maybe over sized a bit on the helmet (not quite this big and still on both sides, not a fan of the Pittsburgh single sided logo). The sleeve styling could be stripes or the arrow to give a hint of that era. I like the pants as is with the thin white stripe and thinner burgundy accents on each side. Socks are great too, similar to current but in the classic colors. Like this helmet but NOT black, Burgundy with Gold face mask and logo a little smaller. Somewhere between current and this size. No stripes down the center. HTTR

Jeez. You people are so annoying. "Its the 80th anniversary. And you want them to come out with new space age unis? What would be the point of that?" At least they got the burgundy color right but other than the jersey I too am not overly excited about these. I think the pants could have been a little more 'gold' in color, they look washed out to me. The image someone posted earlier with Sammy Baugh showed that the pants back then looked more gold, brighter, than these. But as far as honoring the past by just duplicating a former look I think is not very imaginative.Ford, Dodge and Chevy all managed to honor the past and at the same time update the look. Just my opinion but I would have preferred to see a matching burgundy helmet (flat color would have been unique) with a logo (30's to match the sleave, arrow or current (i like the over sized) and a more flattering gold pant. Nike could have taken ques from the past and made a modern day classic. I think they missed the mark and a golden opportunity. HTTR
