MumboSauce Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 that is a rather subtle upgrade that looks better/edgier(lions new lettering/logo) I usually don't like tinkering with a classic thing but that does look better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spagolli94 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I really like the changes the Lions made. Subtle, but effective. I wouldn't mind if the Skins did some tinkering as well. Nothing significant, but make the NATIVE AMERICAN a bit more menacing and a bit less clip-art. I also wouldn't mind if they tweaked the colors. Right now they say burgundy and gold, but honestly, it's really more dark red and yellow. I wonder if a deeper/darker burgundy (less red) combined with gold might look nice. Then again, that might look too much like FSU. Most of you guys don't like the new tapered stipes look that many teams have now, like the Broncos. Personally, it's grown on me and I think the Broncos uniforms are a huge improvent over the old ones. They are darker shades of the same color and they ditched the clip-art horse. Very effective, I think. But for the Skins, maybe it's best just to leave it alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HogNose Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Will always love the logo but bring back the gold pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skins2victory Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 For one thing, I do like the feathers on the out side, it finishes the logo to me. I like to draw, im not saying the logo should be changed, because just like most of you I love it. But like I said I like to draw and it looks cool, drawn basically the same, but with just a hint of a more mean edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skins2victory Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I also love our uniforms, the B&G with the white stands out. It not only looks mean, it looks sharp. I can honestly say that they are my favorite uniforms in the league!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighOnHendrix Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 You realize that they stole that from us, right? And for what it's worth we never had the yellow with the arrow. It was an R with a feather. The spear was on the throwbacks from the 70th anniversary season. Personally I loved the spear when we had it up until 1969. Sure, they stole it, but now it's synonymous with FSU. Let's not be associated with them, thanks. I believe the helmet history went something like this: 1. Plain with stripe 2. Feather on back 3. Spear with feathers 4. Lombardi R with feathers 5. Current design 6. 1982 Curved feathers I may have left some out, most of the changes occurred before I was born, so I don't remember them.

rd421 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I do like ours alot but the yellow with the arrow was awesome in that Gaints game two years ago. Umm the yellow helmet did not have the arrow or spear on it......it had the R with the feather on it.....The separ(arrow) helmet is all burgundy(but its darker than what we currently wear) and has a grey facemask...

As far as the logo it's the best!!:helmet: I'd like it if they throw in, a:logo: throw back uni. In at least one home game a year.... Even if it's just a minor change such as the 82 logo on the helmet.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussieskin Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 When i was watching the pro bowl the one helmet that truly stands out is the redskins, the logo is of a proud and dignified american indian. and when it makes the helmet standout, leave the best alone afterall its not broken is it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I'd just like to say...it's SO much better than a plain, old star....seriously, though. It is. The Indian looks SO proud and brave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvtbred Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 and while we are on the subject I hate the white on white and I blame that on Norv when he was here. We need to always wear burgundy at home except when playing Dallas we wear white so they have to wear blue like in the old days When we wear white jerseys PLEASE wear burgundy pants. Then a couple times a year wear double burgundy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABSTRACT Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 African American Symbol??? Maybe I should not have mentioned the African American symbol. It might spark an entire new conversation and I support Mr. Holder but this is not the place to discuss political corrections and American history.

ABSTRACT Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Every Sunday when I see the first Redskin uniform run out onto the field....I get goose bumps all over and my heart race starts speeding up.

velocet Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 But for the Skins, maybe it's best just to leave it alone. Your ideas were right in line with other good changes seen from other teams. So who knows? I'm no kind of apparel designer, but one thing I saw from the Hoyas a while back got me thinking about a similar burgundy and gold kente trim (around the sleeves and neck) as something of a tribute to those of that persuasion who played for the 'Skins organization. velocet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Emrys Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 This thread just has to do with the logo so I didn't think it belongs with all of the other "uni" threads. Seeing as the Lions have a new logo, where would you rank the Redskins logo in comparison with other teams? Personally, I think it's one of the best. It is the most intricate in terms of its artwork. The Native American (P.C.) doesn't look menacing, but he does look proud and dignified. To not sound too much like a homer I never really understood the extra set of feathers on the outside. The only other logos I'd put in the same league are the Raiders and Buccaneers. Other teams may have better uniforms but the Redskins logo is without peer. What does the term "Native American" have to do with PC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvtbred Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I am 1/8th Blackfeet and nothing personal but the American Indian tribes have nothing to do with African Americans other then the fact we are all human. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIXX99 Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I would like to see the burgundy on burgundy jerseys that we wore on MNF last season again. I would also like to see the yellow/gold pants from the 60's-70's make an occasional return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
