FARAPS Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 i wanted to know what jersey people liked better, our normal home and away jerseys with the redskin head on the helmet, or our 2003 alternate jersey with the arrowhead on the helmet and jersey. i always liked the arrowhead one better, i think it is a cooler logo and i like the darker burgundy jersey better as well as the arrowhead on the sides. i wish that we made that our regular jersey or at least wore it more often. what do you guys all think?

PapaDRoc Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 I would like us to wear Red more. We only wear Red at Dallas because Dallas, like the Skins, still wears white at home. I don't have a problem with white, but our uniforms look so cool when they are Red because it is almost unique when the Skins do wear those uniforms.

fuji869 Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 I love the White Jerseys w/ Burgundy Pants! The great memories of 3 Super Bowl Titles and the Glory Days of the first Joe Gibbe Era. But I would like the see them wear the Red Jerseys for Sunday or Monday Night Games kind of like the Miami Dolphins do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark The Homer Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 I prefer a white jersey for the following reasons: 1. A white jersey is the jersey the Redskins are currently wearing at home, and it's also the default jersey they are required to wear on the road at most venues. Therefore, the Redskins wear a jersey like this one in almost every game. For example, they wore white jerseys in 15 of 16 games last season. 2. White jerseys were worn at home during all the years Joe Gibbs was head coach of the Redskins from 1981 through 1992. 3. White jerseys were worn at home through the entire 1999 season during which the Redskins went to the playoffs, playing in two playoff games and winning the wildcard playoff contest at home at FedExField. To date, the Redskins are undefeated in post season play at FedExField. 4. White jerseys were worn in Superbowl XVII against Miami, Redskins winning 27-17. When Ronald Reagan called to congratulate the team, and Riggins, Superbowl XVII MVP, said "Ron may be President, but I'm the King.", he was wearing a white jersey. 5. When Head Coach Joe Gibbs got down on his knees on the sideline and kneeled on the grass and bowed his head and begged God to lend a hand on national TV -- seconds before Darrell Green knocked away a Minnesota pass in the last minute guaranteeing victory in the playoffs leading to Superbowl XXII, Darrell Green was wearing a white jersey. 6. White jerseys were worn in Superbowl XXII against Denver, while Doug Williams threw eleven passes, completing nine, five for touchdowns and the Redskins gained 128 yards in just seven rushing attempts -- all in the second quarter alone; Final Score: Redskins 42, Denver 10. 7. White jerseys were worn in Superbowl XXVI against Buffalo when the Redskins played a near perfect game, taking an early 24-0 lead before winning 37-24. 8. When the Redskins scored an NFL record 541 overall points in 1983, the Redskins wore white jerseys. 9. Joe Theisman (voted league MVP by AP in 1983) wore a white jersey 10. Art Monk (who set an NFL record in 1992 for career receptions, 820, and played in all four of Gibbs' Superbowl teams) wore a white jersey 11. Mark Mosley (who scored more points, 161, than any other NFL player in 1983) wore a white jersey. 12. Dexter Manley (who played on two of Gibbs' World Championship Teams) wore a white jersey. 13. Joe Jacoby (lead blocker in Riggins famous touchdown run in Superbowl XVII, and 4 time pro bowler) wore a white jersey. 14. The Fun Bunch wore white jerseys 15. The Hogs wore white jerseys. 16. A white Redskins jersey is the jersey worn by a winning Redskins football team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stwasm Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 While I understand all the nostalgia for the white jerseys -- I LOVE them too(!) -- I have to admit that the 70th anniversary ensemble was pretty snazzy. Maybe it's time for a change? :2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Hog Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 To date, the Redskins are undefeated in post season play at FedExField. :laugh: I never thought of it quite that way, but it works. I can see it now on all the pre-game shows once the Redskins finally host another playoff game. James Brown: "Howie, what do you think of the Cowboys' chances going into FedEx Field for this NFC divisional matchup?" Howie Long: "Well, I don't know JB. I'll tell you one thing though. The Cowboys certainly would have been better off playing this one down in Texas Stadium. Nobody wants to go to Washington in the playoffs, especially to FedEx Field where the Skins are undefeated in playoff matchups." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

essex03 Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 I do think its time for a change because these unis have been around since 1979 and they arent that cool. If we would change however, I would like to see them use the 70th anniversary uni, or a variation of an older uni... not some flashy stupid looking thing with weird numbers or that adds black into the mix...

red zone Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 The throw back uniform would look too sweet with a white jersey. However, I'm sure coach Gibbs prefers the tried and true. At least they got rid of the stripped socks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[[ghost]] Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 first off, our uni is naturally cool, as it had the B and G on it, along with the Skins logo, thus making it cooler than any form of clothing ever assembled. second, now that they got rid of the striped socks, lets push for complete solid colors, like the ones sean taylor and clinton portis wore last year!

SlinginSammy HOF '63 Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 I wouldn't mind at least seeing the stripes on the pants or sleeves go to triple stripes or no stripes at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

33 Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 I am now and have always been all about our current home uniforms. They signify the winning tradition that Coach Gibbs originally brought to this franchise. I like that we are one of very few teams who wear white at home and frankly, I just think it looks so damn sweet. We won three SB's in those uni's. I see no need to change it up. The indian head logo is unique and bada**. The retro jersey's were a neat departure, but I feel they look a little too similar to FSU's jersey's and not quite as unique as white jersey's with the indian head logo on the helmet. I have actually gotten tired of them by now. If we switched I would hope it would be more of an old school look than some retro new school mishmash. As far as any jersey, I like to sport the Sammy Baugh throwback personally. I love the honor the very first inductee into the HOF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richmond Redskin Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 How can you guys want a change in jerseys????? Plain jerseys always look better than the new FUBU wannabe Falcons and Cards unis. I can believe people actually enjoy those nasty things. Please stick with what we got!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dg28daman Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 My favorite has got to be the 70th anniversary ones. They just look so tite. The helmet is also the most agressive IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamSneed36 Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Favorite skins jersey is the current skins jersey.

js161 Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 The dark jersey look better. I also liked the throwback uni's. it's funny how Mark the Homer didn't mention Super Bowl XVIII, the Skins were white jersey's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
