WPC: When it comes to the uniforms, you can keep the change

[youngestson]

Whomever designed these uniforms is obviously a pretty gifted designer up on all the latest trends, but that's the problem. They obviously are focusing on the designs not as fans or even as authorities of the team and its history, but as fashion and graphic designers playing around with color schemes and motifs. If the uniforms look childish it's none of their concern and as likely as not, none of the people involved actually watch football anyway.

If I were opening a new high school I'd be excited to rock these duds, however the Washington Redskins are not some new school or even a minor college nobody cares about.

They are the Red Skins. On of the older established teams in the NFL with plenty of success, history, tradition, and lore backing them up. They don't need to follow the latest trends in uniform designs, only to turn around a few years later and pull off yet another design change.

It's possible Danny and the boys are looking at the possibility of changing up the look for the honest reason that they want to create a new mindset so I won't bash him or the team. I just want them to know that as fans, emotionally involved fans, most of us seem to hate the idea.

Erm... I actually sort of like a few of those designs.

The "W" with the spear through it is horrid, though.

this writer is right....except for the whole changing of the uniforms. I think if someone with designs skills can make our classic uni's slightly more modern...i think we'll be on to something. I am for new uni's but not at the expense of killing the classic appearance that won us all three of them SB's. There are ways to enhance our jerseys without changing the general scheme.

[celts32]

No changes! And if the Redskins ever have a speck of Black in their uniform I do not know what I will do to eleviate the rage I will feel!

I posted this in another thread, but i really think these are the best ones i've seen so far....

The first thing they need to do is darken (if that's a word) the burgundy. The burgundy should be more like what we see on their practice jerseys, not the game jerseys. This goes for both the jerseys and pants, in my opinion (if they keep burgundy pants).

I'd love to see burgundy on gold at home and white on gold on the road.

I'm not really feeling this whole new uniform thing at all. The colors are clashing like the Saints and the Colts for the Super Bowl. Blue and white v. gold and black. I don't see a pretty thing there.

[TD_washingtonredskins]

authentic...where are those from? Is there any legitimacy to them?

[cooleyisgod]

I actually like them. Our current unis are definitely tired. New coach, new attitude, new look...all works for me.

these look awesome.. also the ones that look like the broncos unis look good. i welcome a tweeking to the unis.

[Galvatron]

I personally would like to see an updated version of our 70th anniversary jersey. The spear logo would also help us get out of hot water with the native American community.

[Fan since a Fetus]

I'm with Authentic post #55. If we have to change, then those would not be bad. A little change, but not a lot.

[Destino]

Looks to me like some thought is being put into changing the name to Warriors. That W or Spear would allow for the name change without a change in anything else.

Having said that I really don't want to be known as the W's. He's not in Washington anymore and I don't want a team named after him.

[cyfar]

It's as if the author of the blog only posted some of the worse looking unis. Some of those in the PDF actually look pretty slick. I don't believe it's time for a logo change, though. (W with the spear)

[Skins98Orakpo]

I definitely welcome new uniforms. I like the uniforms Authentic posted, gold pants would look nice with them and I like all burgundy socks.

And I actually wouldn't mind wearing black jerseys every now and then.

[NewCliche21]

I wouldn't mind authentic's uniforms at all.

However, like Buford said, there would HAVE to be a poll on these including a "No ****ing way!" option.

[Gator Bait]

If we change our uniforms and it includes that stupid W with the arrow through it, we should change our names to the Washington ****tards

[Chachie]

I'm all for a uniform change but the choices in that article are not what I'd hoped for.

[gunslinger5]

The Buffalo Bills called, they want the worst uniforms in the NFL back.

To go from the burgundy and gold to the black and burgundy is just too much. Roger Goodell, for the good of the league, do not allow this.

The uniform pics posted by Authentic blow those away.

[TD_washingtonredskins]

I definitely welcome new uniforms. I like the uniforms Authentic posted, gold pants would look nice with them and I like all burgundy socks.

If they did that (authentic's with gold pants), I'd love it. Modernize it a little and give a nod to our history by switching to gold pants. Perfect solution.

Edit: You could even replace the script R on the sleeve with the spear or feathers if you like those logos better. But I definitely love the idea of having an "alternate" logo on the sleeve (different from the helmet logo).

[Commander Adama]

Please, no uniform changes.

[WhoRUSupposed2Be]

Well, they are ugly concepts Who

do you think this is a ploy for us to buy more uniforms, like the coca-cola company did with "new coke"?

Nah, they just had to add the Zero Calories nonsense and a new look, and it was a wrap from there

[frostyj]

Damn Zorn knew the WHOLE time..........And we called him an idiot for the "Maroon and Black" comments........

:hysterical:

[think.rational]

In the same way we stopped the Fassel hire, and got rid of Vinny, we need to let the owner know that he's made enough change, and this **** is not needed.

Those horrific monstrosities make the burgundy on burgundy efforts look almost respectable.

Hail.

Couldn't agree more. Changing the unis are for the Cardinals, Lions, Broncos. You don't see alot of changes in Historic Franchises... Redskins, Cowboys, Giants, Bears, Packers

Not a lot, but the Giants have changed a few times (once just recently) and so have we.

I'm a little confused by the number of people who are implying that we've worn the current uniform for a long time or that it's somehow classic.
