BrandonJ83 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 My question is why don't they wear them at least once a year or so? Does the coach make this decision or marketing people? I like seeing the team in old school uniforms with my favorite being the 75th anniversary white jerseys with the yellow pants and helmet. I also like the 70th anniversary dark maroon jerseys which you can buy on NFL.com. I also like when they wear all burgundy or all white. Just saying they should mix it up a little bit. I mean when I play Madden 10' I always changed the traditional uniforms to some throwback or different color combos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMike21 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 THe one game we wore them during the 75th anniversary season was the horrendous goal line stand by the Giants and we haven't worn them since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deservingly so. I never want to see those uniforms again. Especially since finding out that the helmets were designed by Lombardi with the intent of looking similar to the Packers. And to the OP... you like the all burgundy? I can't stand that. Love the all white though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scruffylookin Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I want them to adopt the throwback of actually fielding a consistent winner and to have an organization that we can be proud of. I couldn't care less what uniform they wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ned Flanders Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Both sets of throwbacks are awesome IMO. I like the 75th's the best and wish they'd wear them both again as well. But to your question, I would guess we haven't worn them, because there is no 'anniversary' to celebrate this year. Give it 3 more years, and the 80th should have some I'd think.

Mark The Homer Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 For the record, I don't think "throwbacks" is the proper name for those jerseys. "70th anniversary jerseys" or "alternate jerseys" is probably a better name. That's because the team never wore jerseys that looked like that. The style mimics a popular style worn back then, but our team never wore numbers on the shoulders, or had stripes with the arrowhead like that.

TimmySmith Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I assumed it was because Danny had thought that the fans weren't fooled anymore by gimmicky promotions to disguise bad play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I due wish they would venture in wearing the alternate jerseys more, I have yet to see one I really dislike. We haven't won in some just because the team hasn't been it's best. That really isn't the best reason to not wear them again. Hell, I wish we had some sort of black jersey. This just gives me more stuff to spend money on!

As the authentic jersey's of the past were too plain and boring. If they want throw backs, then wear leather helmets and no facemasks... I'm glad we've got AH on our team... and Brian Orakpo if that's the case... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portis for 6 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 THe one game we wore them during the 75th anniversary season was the horrendous goal line stand by the Giants and we haven't worn them since. Yup. The good ole let's run a stretch play 4 times from the two type deal (with a healthy CP on the sideline) :doh:...Was at that game and left mad. Not sure why but as historic as the redskins are they should roll with a throwback atleast once a year! Can't go by a lost being that we've lost in every uniform.

Brandon Lloyd Christmas Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 i wish they would, they were the coolest uniforms weve got. we only did one game in them, and even though the game ended in heartbreak, we should break them out again.

Skins93077 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I would love it if they came out with an all new yellow jersey instead. Similar to what the qb's wear during trainig camp, But tie in white and burgandy. Have our numbers in burgandy as well. I think that would be interesting and actually is way over due. Heck you see the jersey giants impliment all the colors, why not us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
