taylorforprez Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 It looks like the may have tweeked the burgundy jersey for this year.. The numbers that used to be on the sleeves look like they are up on the shoulders now with a little bit more yellow in them... take a look http://www.nflshop.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2252570&cp=2253037.725473&parentPage=family may want to hold off on buying one from the Redskins store until this is official Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hailskins26 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Wierd- I Hope That's Not True- Maybe Just Where Other Jerseys Have The Number Put On For Custom Replicas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedskinsNation Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 gawd please somebody tell me that is some error or just some template that is "off". The numbers up on the shoulders look horrendous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPmoney1783 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 that doesnt look right to me... stick with the white ones or maybe the throwbacks would be nice every now and then! :applause: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylorforprez Posted April 5, 2006 Author Share Posted April 5, 2006 Yeah.. im actually thinking it is just the template.. because they are already selling the Randle El Burgundy jersey with the numbers on the sleeves.. lets hope anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yazzmode621 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I think Snyder is doing this so people go out and buy the new jerseys...more MONEY... My personal favorite jerseys is when the skins where all white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donita35 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I think this is a template. Those numbers on the shoulders look ridiculous. I for one like the one on one too. D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimster Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 from the Redskins website http://store.redskins.com/productinfo.asp?item=33&deptcode1=537 - I'd say it's some generic thing from NFL.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewCliche21 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I have no link, but I know that somewhere in the NFL game-day clothing regulations that the numbers must be on a certain position on the sleeve so that refs can see them. Think about it: If the numbers were that high up before pads, then they'd be almost facing in towards the neck with the shoulder pads on. Doesn't make sense. The change, which didn't happen, would have been seen on every jersey in the league. No worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In response to your sig - JKC didn't want his name on the stadium and it was originally named RalJon Stadium- after his 2 sons, but after he passed John Cooke named it JKC Stadium. Snyder sold the naming rights because the team cost him $800 mil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, but, I know the history. It's a quote from an ES member in the thread "If JKC talked to DS, what would the conversation be?" or something like that. It's funny. Really funny.

kevinklein Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Definitely looks wrong. I think whoever said it was probably a standard NFL thing was right. It won't let me post the picture of the uniform. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know - it's cool , but many don't know (or forgot). I think Cooke and Snyder are a lot alike, just from different generations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not right.... the stadium was originally going to be named Jack Kent Cooke Stadium all along. The mailing address was going to be Raljon Maryland, after his sons, but the post office wouldn't allow it. (The nerve of them to deny Jack) So the roadway that circles the stadium got the name Raljon way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooooley47 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 If you click on the other teams jerseys their numbers are on the shoulders too so it is clearly just a template error. Unless every team in the NFL will now have the numbers on the shoulders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that. By the time the first game was played there it was called JKC, but it wasn't going to be called that until he passed away. here's from a April 1997 Post article On a day that seemed perfect for football, 400 mourners — including former Redskins coach Joe Gibbs (pictured), turned out at an invitation-only funeral in an Upperville, Va., church to bid farewell to Jack Kent Cooke on April 10, 1997. At the service, Cooke's son, John, announced a lasting memorial to his father: The team will name its new stadium after Cooke. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/sports/redskins/history/cooke/cooke.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
