SkinsGuy Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 (edited) Saw this line in an RTD article here: http://www.richmond.com/redskins-xtra/article_5cbc0e49-9bd2-589c-9db2-f4f5cdcf258d.html Are the Redskins wearing throwbacks this Thursday? Quote "At the locker next to Compton, linebacker Su’a Cravens was inspecting the new cleats he got for Thursday’s game, featuring the Redskins' spear logo."

Dallas is going blue Odd, they always do white at home! Except for throwbacks, but their throwbacks involve a white helmet, so not sure if they are wearing them. Interesting...

Navy away jerseys with the throwback white pants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to jinx things (knock wood), but good things happen when we wear white at Dallas. 2005 and 2012 come to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickyJ Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Does this mean that our color rush uniforms that the NFL advertised have been shelved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balki1867 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 My understanding was that the Redskins color rush jerseys were only designed for fans to purchase. The plan was always to use traditional/throwback uniforms on thanksgiving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy1282 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 (edited) Skins need to do their sleeve striping like the Giants are for their throwbacks. Then we can actually see the stripes on a player not named Kirk Cousins. Edited December 20, 2016 by andy1282 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's just a color change, it's pretty forgettable. If it comes along with something more drastic it could be interesting. Either way, good find! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Lumber Co. Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Probably just the subtle change needed to make the throwbacks not clash with the current helmet color due to stupid NFL helmet rule. Thats my guess at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats my guess at least. Helmet clashing with our current helmets aside, those throwbacks are great uniforms. I'd love it if we stuck to them and made slight changes to our logo personally.

I would love the throwbacks as our regular home unis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a gold hex code I like: It's still more yellow than that hideous khaki gold color that the 49ers use (and the Redskins use for the throwbacks), but a little darker than the current gold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Darken everything. Burgundy and Gold. Would like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Section106 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 This is my periodic public service announcement to remind our fans that the shade of gold in the uniform in called "Maize". As in corn. Because our mascot is a Native American and the Native Americans created corn by selective breeding. Did you know that corn cannot live in the wild? It is wholly dependent on humans to distribute its seed and grow and pass on it genes. So for the love of all that is awesome with football and native horticulture, stop calling our shade of gold "Mustard." It is "Maize." Thank you for your attention. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD_washingtonredskins Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I would be pretty excited for a minor re-boot. If the throwbacks were tweaked a bit and used as the home unis while a white/burgundy version was used for the road unis, that would be awesome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaper Skins Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 (edited) At least make the helmets match the throwbacks. I know it was due to the leather ones being outlawed, but that mismatch has gone on far too long to not be taken care of by now. Looks super scrubby Edited February 7, 2017 by Reaper Skins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that would be pretty cool and mirror what the Jets and Giants both did a while back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
