Momma There Goes That Man Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 6 hours ago, chrisxcore said: This must be one of the 'fun and exciting things' we're doing with our uniforms this year, according to Bruce. Something different anyway. I'm actually a fan of the throwbacks... WITH the helmets that were supposed to go with them. I get the whole player safety thing, but it seems to me like there would be ways around that. It's all good, at least we got the white on burgundy look back. Hopefully it's here to stay! I think he had to be referring to bringing back the burgundy pants. Which was a great idea and I am in his debt for that simple gesture. I might try to kiss him if given the chance if he actually allowed us to the wear the color rush uniforms. Not because they are amazing, though I do like them, but simply because it would show he is open to modern designs and ideas which could open the door to exciting tweaks or redesigns in the future. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyndorf25 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 (edited) I think the Redskins' all yellow mustard Color Rush uniforms are downright hilarious. As for the throwback unis, as long as the shade of burgundy on the helmets matches the shade on either the jerseys or the pants, I'm OK with 'em. When they don't match...GAH! Like wearing a black blazer with navy blue pants. Edited November 9, 2016 by Wyndorf25 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like our throwbacks. Not sure why some of our fans don't like them. I know using the current helmet doesn't match. I think their better than the Green Bay "bullseye" throwbacks, the Jets "not your colors" combo or the Steelers "Bumblebee-Jailbird" throwbacks. Wish they would allow teams to get fitted for 2 helmets a year. Not sure why it has to be only one from the league (stupid Goodell). Technically the QBs and MLBs that wear the speaker in their helmet have backup helmets on the sidelines. I've never understood the one helmet thing (other than the league doing a CYA). If you wear a specific "model and size" and are fitted for your specific helmet, why can't you get fitted for a 2nd one that will have the same specifications as the first one? Stupid NFL.

bentskin Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 I saw something on this recently. An equipment manager said the biggest issue is with discontinued helmets. If they could get every player in the league a second helmet in the same size and model they currently have then they could create a second version but that is not possible. That way they would simply insert their 'broken in" pads to the second shell. Cousins and Davis (that I have noticed) along with A. Luck have switched this year due to their previous model being discontinued. P. Manning switched last year. I dont agree with the rule either. Seams strange that a college can dictate head gear without liability and the NFL cannot. HTTR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeen80 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 I like our throwbacks. We got them right in 2012 with the "leather" helmet look. However, I think its time for a refresh. I mean this would be the 5th season in a row with these throwbacks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Saw this while out n about yesterday.

So has Mariota. Didn't think Luck had a different facemask from last year. Then again, I haven't watched many Colts games this year. Speaking of facemasks: has anyone seen that abomination that the Eagles' punter wears? Edited November 11, 2016 by Ray-Ban Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manning and Cousins all had the old Riddell Revolution that curved around the jaw. I am pretty sure that was discontinued and they switched to their current helmets. Cousins face mask like P. Manning's is very similar to his old one. I think Riddell did a custom for them. 3 hours ago, TK said: Saw this while out n about yesterday.

I would like to see this incorporated in an update using our current style. Either no stripe or single yellow stripe and the darker maroon ala the throwbacks with the current logo oversized on the helmet. And get our stripes to match on jersey and pants. I personally would put spears on the jerseys (no stripes) and either a single or no stripe on the pants with solid socks. Old school simple look.But that's just me.

Of course they could - but I guess it's a pain in the ass to get them and paint them around practice schedules, etc. and then turn around and have to do it again for the next week's game.

They would be happy to do it but the new paints dont dry as fast as the old ones and there is not enough turn around time to get them back to practice after game day.

Yeen80 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 While we're on the uniform topic perhaps Im in the minority but I prefer the look of the Reebok jerseys from 2002-2011 more than the Nike look of recent years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes a helmet with a few dings on it can be an intimidating thing. Dave Butz's helmet comes to mind when reading about painting helmets; ****, he would have made the FO purchase a collision repair service for our helmets.

Heisenberg Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I'm actually a fan of the look but burgundy on burgundy will always bring back nightmares of the 2008 Steelers game that ended up being the game where it was obvious Zorn and his "hip hip hooray" mentality was way out of his element in the NFL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what, we saw the traditional burgundy pants during training camp and those came back into the fold. Maybe the stripeless pants will be seen on field as well? They aren't my cup of tea, but I can't knock them till I see them on field. Edited November 14, 2016 by StephenB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentskin Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 (edited) I know we all have our opinion and Bruce is the one calling the shots but... If we are going to go throwback at least do a a better job with what you have. The one helmet rule means the burgandies will not match, but it does not mean the logos cant match. Just put the spear on the helmet and keep the old school sleeve logo. For a permanent update. I would take this uni, darken the helmet w/ oversized logo and use a spear on the sleeves. Probably make the pants match the numbers. In the second photo, the lighting almost makes the helmets and jerseys match.
