  1. I just don't get why people dig insane uniforms.

    People went crazy of the Seahawks unis and I still feel like they're overly busy and kind of stupid looking. The Jaguars new uniforms are ****ing hideous. That two tone helmet thing...WHY? Who focused grouped that? Which player looked at those helmets and said "Yeah, that's the hotness."

    The Bills and the Vikings both improved their uniforms a ton by going back to a simplier, more clean looks that were more reminiscent of their classic uniforms.

    We have a very simple, very defined uniform. There is literally no reason to change it. It's not a case of the "older fans" (I'm only 26) not wanting it to change. There's just no reason to change it. Are our current unis dated? No. Are they ugly? No. Have people stopped buying jerseys? No.

    And on top of that, when you get hung up on stuff as stupid as whether or not there's color around the collar, you're never going to be satisfied anyway. If you're paying attention to the uniform when the game is being played, you're watching the game the wrong way.

    Now that I know how this thing works I'm going to play with it some more...

  4. Roddriggo really illustrated some points I have.

    I mean...these unis are ugly as hell...

    These look classy as hell

    The Eagles Kelly Green and Silver unis look bad ass...

    p-449482-michael-vick-philadelphia-eagles-throwback-action-8x10-photo-cotg-8nfl-11910-40.jpg

    Their regular unis look cartoonish and dumb, like they were desiged to look good in Madden.

    Michael-Vick-Eagles1-247x300.jpg

    The simpler the uniform looks, the better to me. Adding black around letters and numbers, nonsensical stripping and randomness everywhere just looks plain bad to me. White pants or gold pants doesn't matter to me and is really nitpicky to me; we stil have one of the better uniforms in the NFL regardless of what color the pants are. And is it precisely because they are simple, clean and have a history behind them.

    People say "well we haven't won anything in these uniforms since the 1980s, it's time for a change". So? The Vikings haven't won anything every and they've changed their unis three times now and they still haven't won anything, and now they look ugly pretty much all the time unless they're playing in the Fran Tarkenton era unis.

    Tradition is always a good thing. I get why a team like Denver changed their unis back in 1997. They were hideous when they first put them on a hideously outdated by the 90s, and they got a nice, streamlined, clean look. I'm happy their going back to the orange jerseys. But our unis? They look frakking awesome to me, especially compared to some of the other **** teams have to pay in.

  5. What modern unis do you guys like that don't look totally goofy is what I want to know?

    I like our unis. I like tradition. I think it's weird that people go "Oh, well, we've been losing forever in these uniforms, time for a change", like it's been the unis that are problem, or that they represent losing somehow.

    Most fan renders of "modern" unis I see look down right hideous. I like that we're one of the teams in the NFL that doesn't change a whole lot about their uniform.

    I'd also like to know how many of you would snatch a crayon out of your child's hand when they use a yellow crayon to color something like a treasure chest full of coins that are supposed to be gold.

  6. Excuse me? Yes those

    Look at all the nike redskins uniforms. No traditional socks.

    For frak's sake...

    The anniversary unis are based on the unis we wore in 1937. They ARE based on tradition just by the simple fact that they're replicated as closely to the 1937 jerseys as possible. As for the current unis, we haven't seen the friggin' away unis yet. I'll venture a guess that the "one burgundy stripe/one gold stripe" socks will appear.

    Socks...we're talking about socks? I mean, seriously. We're talking about socks.

  7. Also. We have gone away from our traditional redskins socks. WHY!?

    1. White socks with 1 burgundy and 1 gold stripe.

    2. White lower, Burgundy upper with gold triple stripe

    Now we wear the plain burgundy and white...gross

    Thats where this uniform leaves more to be desired...RG3 needs some nice socks!

    ...What the hell are you on about?

    135955149_crop_450x500.jpg

    131639560_crop_450x500.jpg

    You mean those socks? The ones we're wearing RIGHT THERE?

  8. This is getting too confusing.

    Okay, let me explain.

    Technically, the Ravens have 3 uniforms. They have the purple on white, and the white on white. The black on black is alt.

    Now, they can mix and match those uniforms as much as they want; Purple on Black, White on Black, Black on White, et all. But those are the ONLY combos they can have; they can't randomly decide to have a fourth uniform with purple pants or something. Your only allowed 3 "uniforms". How you mix and match them is your business.

    For our unis, we had the Burgundy on White as our Home, the White on Burgundy for our Away, and then 75th (special white jersey with gold pants) was our Alt.

    How we mixed and matched our unis was whatever; Burgundy on White, Burgundy on Burgundy, White on White, White on Gold, Burgundy and Gold, White and Burgundy. But the NFL says that we can't have a fourth uni, or an extra pants set.

    Nike already has unveiled two of our uniforms; we have our home, Burgundy on White unis, and our 80th anniversary alternates. I'll take a wild guess and say that our away jerseys will be white on burgundy. That means no gold pants, unless we're going to go white on white on the road. Which would suck.

  9. Every NFL team is only allowed to have 3 uniform combos.

    Our gold pants with Reebok were part of our 75th anniversary set. There was no problem having gold pants, because they were already part of our uniform set.

    My guess is, since we haven't seen the gold pants yet, we're not going to see gold pants period. The new Nike reveal had us with burgundy tops and white pants, which means our away would be white tops with burgundy pants, and our alt is the 80th anniversary uni.

    The only other way it'd work is if we're wearing gold pants with our away uniform. Which I doubt.

  10. I've never heard one person compliment the Seahawks uniforms. From what I've heard, they're generally regarded as worst in the NFL.

    With uniforms, the simpler, the better.

    The uniforms shouldn't distract from the football. The Terps unveiled all these crazy new uniform combos, and then proceeded to go 2-11. Yay, you have colorful, eye catching unis, and your football team still completely blows. The Seahawks uniforms are ugly, and have been ugly, with their monochrome green blandness. The Bills monochrome unis also looked horrible; it was so refreshing to see the Bills return to a uniform that actually looked, like...normal.

    I know 'Rak said we were going all out, and people read way too much into that (what else is he supposed to say? "It's bland and boring!"), but why would you want to mess with what we have now JUST to mess with it? We've got some of the best uniforms in the NFL just by virtue of the fact that they look SIMPLE.

    And to be honest, as long as Redskins jerseys sell by the droves, all we're going to keep our old unis. Teams changing uni's or adding alternates nowadays is more of a marketing ploy than anything else.

  11. I feel like the team puts way too much emphasis on old school' date=' tradition, etc. While it's fine, and I can dig our classic uni's, I feel like we've ONLY had old school uniforms as our alternate.

    With RGIII bringing in a new era of Redskins football, I feel like we fans are owed a new look for an alternate, with a new attitude. It's just how I feel.[/quote']

    The problem is that most unis look like garbage.

    I'll take our classy, timeless uniforms anyday over what the Seahawks did to their uniform.

    I mean...just tell, which looks better to you;

    This;

    Or this...thing...

    The fact is, our current uniform, as is, is kind of timeless. It fits in every era. It's not like the Denver "orange crush" unis that looked ridiculous and then got updated to something better. There's no real reason to update them other than just for the sake of updating them, and there's really only one way to go with the Redskins uniforms, I find---really, really, ridiculously ****ing stupid looking.

    Like what the Seahawks did.

  12. What's the deal with the helmets...Does it still have the Redskins logo on there or just a different color and no logo at all?

    It's matte brown to look like the old leather helmets. No logo.

    Don't get why people are ****ing about this. Really.

    In 1994, we recognized the first set of uniforms we wore.

    In 2002, we recognized and acknowledged the spear helmets and spear logos

    In 2007 we recognized the Lombardi era unis.

    And now we return to our roots.

    But yeah, let's sit here and ***** because the pants aren't gold/tan/yellow/brown/whatever ****ing little thing we can complain about enough.

    No respect for history.

  13. The thing is, our unis are not going to make everyone happy.

    "Boo-hoo, our gold isn't gold enough!" or "it's not actually gold, THIS is gold" or "Our burgundy is too red" or "our burgundy is too brown" or "that's MAROON, <insert Jim Zorn reference here>."

    It's like...shut the hell up. You root for the ****in' team, not the uniforms. To see people complain that we didn't change enough about the new uniforms and have it basically come down to "this color is a shade too light/dark for my taste" is dumb.

    Our colors are burgundy and gold, and as long as we have SOME combination of that, it should be fine. You root for the team, the player''s the coaches. The uniforms are secondary. It's just what they wear. And for what it's worth, the Redskins STILL have some of the classiest uniforms in the NFL. So why sit around complaining about the little stuff?

    Just cheer for the team. The unis are just set dressing.

  14. Anyone know why the team never bust out the throwbacks? It seems like the other teams wear them at least once a year. I'd like to see both the 70th and 75th make an appearance at least once a season. Or...a 75th, but with a burgundy jersey instead of white.

    I always wondered that too, considering we started selling these...

    p10793911dt.jpg

    But no hint of any throw back unis being warn at any point. Weird.
