Jethrodsp Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Boo monochromatic football uniforms. The all burgundy was terrible. Bring back the gold pants. Best NFL unis: Redskins Chargers Dolphins Bears Packers Steelers Raiders Bills Bucs Unis that shouldnt have changed: 49ers Broncos Bengals Falcons Worst Unis: Cardinals Seahawks Broncos Titans Vikings Cowboys Eagles Giants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeKnowsBest Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 bam!! I think the gold pants are hideous. I remember when we had those throwback uniforms on during the NFL's anniversery season that one season in the mid-90s and I was watching the Redskins play and my Uncle walked in and checked out the football game I was watching and his first reaction was "Eww man! Who's wearing those ugly uniforms!?" and he pointed out the Redskins colors. He had no clue who was playing with those throwback uniforms. I have to say that I agree with him. Those uniforms were butt ugly and so was the franchises 75th anniversery uniforms for that matter. I'm glad that is over with. I couldn't stand to live through watching those another year. Bottom line is this: Yellow trim is good. Too much/too dark yellow AKA gold is ugly, especially when it's the main solid feature of a uniform like pants or jerseys are.

Jethrodsp Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Couldnt disagree more. Gold pants are the tits. Just look how slick that uniform above is. Gold pants, burgundy jerseys at home. Gold pants white jerseys on the road with the classic helmet. Even the gray facemask adds to the look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeKnowsBest Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 (edited) I really don't like the uniform in that pic. I think it looks ugly. Though does anyone else notice that it looks like a football is bulging out of Clinton Portis' bicep in that pic? lol Edited May 13, 2009 by JoeKnowsBest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 (edited) What would be awesome would be going with an all black uniform on occasion. It's the coolest thing in sports. I love it when the Jaguars wear theirs. New Zealand's rugby team is pretty bad ass. Edited May 13, 2009 by stevemcqueen1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel Hog Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 (edited) I like those and this: One of the above should be our primary unis, end of story. I don't see the harm in incorporating all the unis.... For most home games, 6 of the 8, wear yellow-gold pants / burgundy jerseys. Maybe for 2 home games, wear the 70th Anniversary. For most road games, wear burgundy pants / white jerseys. One game wear the 75th Anniversary, and for another road game All White. Bamo-Whamo, everyone is happy and the Redskins aren't wearing burgundy pants / white jerseys for 14 of the 16 games, but rather 6 games. I reckon we could just do away with the White Pants / Burgundy Jerseys (the yellow/gold looks better anyway IMO).

mcarey032 Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 What a joke that 75th anniversary year jersey was for us. To only wear it once was a travesty. They made all this hype about the redskins and the 75th anniversary that they only wore the jersey once! In the 70th anniversary year, they wore the jerseys at least 4 times that I can remember and possibly even more. MTH could certainly tell us better how many times they wore it, but they certainly wore it more than ONCE! They also had 70 greatest Redskins. They could have added to the list five more players which would have been a nice gesture to former players and added more hype to the hype machine.

Mark The Homer Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 I think part of the reason for dissing the 75th annis was Joe Gibbs. He wanted to wear SB white. He gave in for opening day and we lost, and he never relented again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeen80 Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 (edited) I love our uniforms just the way they are. Why mess up a good thing?Whoever mentioned the Seahawks uniforms needs a prescription for glasses, or else give them a taste test because we already know they're blind folded. Those uniforms are HIDEOUS! Allow me to list some of the best and worse of the NFL (in no particular rank) IMO.... Worst: Seahawks Browns Packers Giants (what ever happened to those cool ones from the 80s?) Jets (Again, see above note. ^ ) Steelers (probably the best of the bad) Bills Raiders Colts All of the above mentioned could use a change in uniforms. I give the Steelers a pass though because they look good enough and there's a winning tradition with those there. Colts Giants and Raiders aren't that bad but still bad. As for some others, I think the Seahawks, Bills, and Patriots all ruined their uniforms by the change. The Bills always had bad uniforms IMO but they made them even worse and completely unberably hideous by doing that. The Patriots looked much better in the brighter blue Jersey. Still they're silver helmets/pants helps offset any negative effects of the too dark blue Jerseys. On a side note, what is it with every NFL team's fascination with blue? I count close to HALF (14 specifically) of the teams in the ENTIRE NFL that wear some shade of blue! And the majority of those wear a dark dark navy blue. What's up with that? The NFL needs alot more variety in colors; specifically brighter colors. As for the best: Redskins Broncos Cardinals Cheifs Bengals Panthers Dolphins All that being said, I still prefer the orange Bronco jersey's over the blue. I think WAY too many NFL teams have switched to blue Jersey's and there's not much distinction anymore. That and there's hardly anybody who wears orange or red in their uniforms. The Bronco orange used to be synonomous with their franchise. I used to think of that color any time I would think of the Bronco's team growing up, so it's a disapointment when they don't wear that color. As for the Redskins, I think what we have now is just right. Don't mess with a good thing. I actually don't mind the Seahawks uniforms, but what absolutely destroys it is that rediculous neon green they have in their color scheme. Did you by any chance see Seattle's draft day hats? They look like something a school crossing guard would wear Edited May 14, 2009 by Yeen80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horatio Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Our uniforms are too 90's and need a little tweaking 1979, to be exact. The only other team that hasn't tweaked their uni in some way since that time is the Raiders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HBnotBlades Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 That photoshopped picture of Portis doesn't do the gold pants justice. The skins played a lot of games in gold pants over the years and I always thought they looked pretty good doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd421 Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 The only time I liked the gold pants was with the dark burg jerseys from the 70th anniv I love that uni to this day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a white jersey variation of it for hot home games (September) and road games. You can always wear the current uniforms again after a few years as "throwbacks".

MrJL Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 I liked the all burgundy. I'd also like the team to come up with some sort of alternate look. Something with burgundy shoulders and across the very top of the chest then gold underneath. Sort of like the Cards do with red and white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Section106 Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 (edited) Long live the feather helmet! This is the best uni ever.

You change enough to get that retro, different feel but you keep the logo and the spirit of the uniforms without going all CFL-looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fischer fan Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I am surprised that so many people don't want to change up the uniforms. The most glaring issue: BURGANDY and GOLD BURGANDY and GOLD BURGANDY and GOLD!!!! not, YELLOW and off red! Why can't people see this?:doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
