SMU Redskin Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Any word on Throwbacks Tonight vs. the Eagles. I know it's the least of our problems, but I hadn't heard anything one way or another. Havent heard anything, although I'd like to see us go white-on-white tonight. White-on-red hasnt worked so well this year :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIXX99 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I would love to see the 70th anniversary tonight.... That would be cool. I don't see it happening but it would be sweet. I just hope we don't come out of the tunnel in burgundy on burgundy :doh: At least our throwbacks are cool and don't look retarded like the AFL throwbacks that those teams are wearing :puke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIXX99 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Well just in case anybody was wondering I'm gonna wear my ST21 jersey tonight. I only break out for special occasions (though I don't think that it will be that special). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This board sends people to cover every game. At some point so far, I'm sure someone has heard which color jerseys we're wearing tonight. Remember that last year we switched to burgundy at home around this time of year. I think it's safe to say that we'd have heard something if they were sporting throwbacks.

TD_washingtonredskins Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I'm guessing the classic white top with burgundy pants. They'll probably switch over the burgundy tops at home vs. Denver in mid-November (except for the Cowboy game). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johns Bass Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 The current choice goes back to Gibbs who thought that the all White uni's gave an advantage early in the season due to temperature and forcing the opposing team into their 'dark' colors would tend to overheat the players. So, how hot is a Monday night at the end of October these days anyway? Of course, I have not lived out there in a while so maybe global warming has shot the temp's up to 90's or above or something... No disrespect, but not all of Gibbs ideas would work so well these days. If it ain't broke don't fix it, but if IS...

Show our true colors - Burgundy & Gold Well, actually Gibbs just went white tops at all home games. Either way, the actual game-day temperature is rather meaningless since the teams have to submit the jersey colors for each home game before the season starts. So, Zorn would have had to choose white or burgundy for this game back in September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show our true colors - Burgundy & Gold You are close...the players liked all white and wore them as far back as under Spurrier...When Gibbs came back the players liked the all white as something different bc JG did white tops at home...Zorn instituted the white at home early in the season due to the heat (he also had backup players hold his Z shades since the league would not allow us to have shades on a post without the other team having the same) we then wore white pants as well....

I still blame Norv for wearing white all the time. If TB can wear their colors in that heat we have no excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
33 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I still blame Norv for wearing white all the time. If TB can wear their colors in that heat we have no excuse. It started long before Norv. Gibbs first era, we wore white at home. We also wore white in each Super Bowl. Norv just inherited a tradition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erock353 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I hope it's all burgundy tonight! So do I, that's one of my favorite combos. But, any combo with the 'Skins is my favorite. The only problem with the all burgundy is that we didn't blow out or destroy the Steelers last year while wearing that scheme. And for some reason that makes that uniform choice bad. :eaglesuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvtbred Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Well at least Cooley has "golden" hair Sounds like no one knows what we are wearing 2 hours away which tell me we get something of a surprise. That our we will just be the same old white jerseys at home, yawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team is awfully boring on offense. Do something with the damn uniforms to add some excitement!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
