Destructis Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I am fine with the new uni's. I like the thought behind them and will enjoy seeing the Skins wear them. What really made me smile was seeing the picture of Rak and Kerrigan side by side wearing them in the WP. What a great pair of bookends we have.

LetThePointsSoar Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I know its been asked, but I thought it was worth repeating again, hoping someone with inside knowledge will see this, but when and where will these be available? I need one like yesterday...can't figure out who to get though...debating going custom & get a LeRibs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCav06 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Not a big fan of the jerseys. Thankfully they're alternates and not permanent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should have had these ready to go and available for purchase the minute the new website and unveiling took place. They lost a lot of initial sales. I'm getting a Baugh. The "33" will make it look like a true throwback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stwasm Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Exactly what I thought imediately, It looks like Boston College. eh,, its ok It would be more accurate to say Boston College looks like the Skins throwbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD_washingtonredskins Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 It would be more accurate to say Boston College looks like the Skins throwbacks. People don't get that. Hell, people complained that we were copying FSU in 2002 despite the fact that we originally wore those uniforms years/decades before they did.

BleedBNG Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Kinda reminds me of Boston College. I'm not saying for sure, but it is possible that George Preston Marshall got his idea for our colors from BC. Thank goodness he didn't call us the Eagles (who celebrate their 80th next year).

TaylorPickSix Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 This is set up perfectly for me to buy an RG3 throwback jersey. I bought the black Capital logo Ovechkin jersey, which was the alternate his rookie year. Eventually I plan on buying a red one with the C on it. Hopefully RG3 will be a captain in a couple years too, so I can buy a white one with the C as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saqs Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I like them. If they updated the shoulder logos to the modern one I'd even consider them as perm replacements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I'm cool with the throwbacks and wish the colors they wore regularly matched the originally Sammy Baugh era. The numbering is nifty though I'd like to see plain white just to comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The numbering is nifty though I'd like to see plain white just to comparison. I agree.. I think they should keep the color scheme going forward.. the only change i would make would be with the helmets.. Even if they stay brown, it needs a logo on it.. I hate plain helmets.

@DCGoldPants Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I'd be fine with a gold helmet or a deep burgundy one with the players number on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan T. Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I like. I wish we would go back to the darker burgundy and the gold - not yellow, color scheme of the Sonny J. era. Im curious how they decided on the new slogan "Team. Effort. Tradition."...... why not just go with "hail to the redskins"? If ur honoring team tradition isnt it counter intuitive to use a brand new slogan that nobody really associates with the team? Not to mention snyder's tenure as an owner doesnt exactly conjure up alot of images of team first, high effort players:whoknows: At first they were going to go with "Team. Intensity. Tradition." until someone noticed the unfortunate acronym. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish the powers that be would make those the colors and incorporate them on the current uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazel-Ra Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 They're decent.... I like the gold pants from 94 better. But if they went to all this trouble, they should at least wear them for more than two games...maybe even all the home games this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan T. Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I think the leather helmet is going to get A LOT of attention when they wear these. I would like to see an up close picture of the patch. Im looking forward to seeing the throwback fan gear With the NFL dealing with the huge issue of concussions and the lawsuits from all the former players, the fake leather helmets may get more attention than the NFL bargained for. The 70th anniversary uniforms have the colors right. I wish the powers that be would make those the colors and incorporate them on the current uniforms. Yep. And I like the spear helmets too.

Dan T. Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 The uniforms are awesome! I say this because they are so much better than the Steeler throw-backs. HTTRhttp://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d8286147f/article/pittsburgh-steelers-unveil-throwback-uniforms. Do the Steelers play the Eagles next year? Because if so and they both wear their throwbacks, it'll look like a Discovery Channel nature show on bees pollinating daffodils.\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bad I was mixing them up with 2006 versions, sorry. ---------- Post added May-11th-2012 at 10:35 AM ---------- NO, no they don't. I don't get the hate some of you guys are tossing around, I like the jersey much better than some teams throwbacks. And the helmet is the first of it's kind and really awesome looking. It is not as if they are wearing these every game either. And I would buy a jersey and just might. Still don't get the hate though./ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander PK Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I think the leather helmet is going to be really cool to see on game day. The lines and detail on the helmet make it look like the real thing. Will be like stepping back in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
