per Bruce Allen on 980 Gold Pants at home

[SemperFISkins]

It's always been Burgundy and Gold. I am glad they are going to the gold pants. The white pants were awful, especially when they were the shiny white ones.

[[[ghost]]]

I like the gold pants. But I'm wondering if they're gonna be gold or traffic sign yellow.

I'd like the idea of gold pants a lot, especially if they're, you know, actually gold.

[Stophovr6]

Thank you thank you thank you. White is not one of our colors. So tired of it.

[CG]

The actual "gold" pants in that Brunell / Campbell / Collins pic are pretty atrocious. The muted yellow is much better, like in the Lavar pics. I actually like the white and red just fine.

[CRobi21]

Hopefully the team releases some pics for us in the near future. So we can see what the winning uniform will be come Sept 12.

as long as we win, we can have terds on the helmet

Do you mean a blue star?

[RenegadeTK]

could be interesting. either way, i'd like to see some consistency with the jersey situation. i don't like switching it up too much. that's one thing that bothers the hell out of me in the NBA.

[pjfootballer]

I like the gold being only a trim and not one of the primary colors. I'd stink with the white on white.

Would you stink? :laugh:

Yeah, let's go back to the 70's look (when we won 0 Super Bowls). Forget the times when we won 3 super bowls with the TRADITIONAL burgandy pants and white jerseys.

Eh... they didn't win the Superbowls due to the color of their pants.

I always have liked non-white pants. I understand that white is a necessary evil for jerseys (dark vs. light), but I think all NFL teams should use their secondary colors for their pants. I just think it makes more sense.

Look at some classic unis:

Steelers wear black and gold

Packers wear green and gold

Raiders wear black and silver

Cowboys (sorry) wear blue and silver

In some cases, white IS the secondary color (Colts, for example).

I just think it looks more traditional and much cooler to have the two main colors are prevalent as you can. This is a great change!

[hail2skins]

Cowboys (sorry) wear blue and silver

Not if they can help it. The Cowboys always wear white jerseys at home, except for Thanksgiving when they break out the goofy throwbacks.

Right...my point was that those teams don't wear white pants. I think white jerseys are fine (and necessary) as a second color. But the pants should always be a primary team color in my opinion.

In some very rare cases, it might be too much (Dolphins, Ravens, etc.), but I think most teams would look sharp wearing the two main, contrasting colors as their jerseys and pants.

Sounds good to me.

Bring on the new (old) look Skins.

[honejc]

i say show how hardcore the skins are and go straight skin.

hahaha no pun intended....

[Timmy Smith]

Bruce Allen bringing back the George Allen gold pants -- I approve!

[shemp nixon]

I liked the Allen version better. That script R helmet looked a little too Packerish for my taste.

+1, I don't like the Lombardi uniforms or the fact that he was trying to make us look like the Packers....IMO going back to the traditional colors is a great idea.

[Soup]

Would you stink? :laugh:

Yes, I would

[BadKarma]

As long as we ditch the BLACK SHOES, they have been nothing but a curse on us ever since they arrived.

Every time I hear this sentiment, it makes my head explode. What about the 18 years of mediocrity or worse with these uniforms? Why do people consider the burgundy pants and white uniforms " traditional "? We wore burgundy jerseys's with gold pants at home for a longer period of time than the burgundy pants and white jersey's , so I consider those our traditional uniforms.

[LadySkinsFan]

Since it seems like we are keeping the reddish-burgundy jerseys, I'd like to see the metallic gold pants. Makes for a 21st century look.

Agree 100%. Last year ( if i'm not mistaken ) we had the following combinations:

Burgundy jerseys, White pants.

White jerseys, Burgundy pants, striped socks

White jerseys, Burgundy pants, burgundy socks

White jerseys, White pants, burgundy socks

Burgundy jerseys, Burgundy pants

I would like to see some consistancy also. It would be nice to always know what combination we're going to be wearing before the game starts, or better yet, before the season starts.

Why?

[WSHRedskins3ATLBraves3]

I'm actually pretty excited to see this.

Should be pretty cool.

Burgundy and GOLD

[MumboSauce]

From what was described they will be more like these posted.

not the darker mustard of those with the spearhead helmet logo.

Looks great! great move, can't wait!

[ArmchairRedskin]

Not a fan of the gold pants. I could be swayed by a winning team, though.
