carex Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I'll wear it around the house same as I always did. I don't go out much outside of work, and with my job you try to be neutral and not advertise your tastes and risk pissing people off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FootballZombie Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 With jerseys, hoodies, hats, shirts, socks and shoes, a disproportionate amount of my wardrobe is skins gear. I will have no choice but to wear it. To be honest, it almost feels like my old jerseys of players who left, which I tend to get rid of. I will happily phase out my gear when the full rebrand occurs, but I’m not so financially secure that I can do it all at once. Unless we go Redwolves, in which case I will bury myself deeper in debt than any zombie in history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some idiot will take it personally and confront you nowadays. I'll wear my gear around the house and yard just to wear them out but doubt I will go out in public much with them.

I feel like the closer proximity to Skins territory you are the less you have to worry about something like that. I’m in MD not too far from DC so I feel like I have a good amount of shielding from that. It would likely be a good idea to think twice if I lived somewhere else in the country. I also probably have a different viewpoint from others being a Black Male. I was already predispositioned to having problems before this, now I have to compound that with wearing a face mask 24/7 due to the pandemic, as if people didn’t see me as threat before. If I’m going to have a bad day in public, skins gear would be like the 5th reason down the list. At some point you just get numb to it all. I think keeping a positive outlook would be important in this case. Even if confronted, I am in control of my own reactions and its hard to be angry with someone who is actively killing you with kindness. I guess life has given me experience in that situation so I am prepared to move forward with the name change in this manner. I will phase the gear out in time, as a sign of respect, but that reasonably will take me years. … And if that fails I can always book it.

Always A Commander Never A Captain Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 This all seems a bit moot. Not like I'm going out to a bar to watch a game...cause pandemic. So I can wear it around the house when the games on...if the season starts. I never really wore it elsewhere. Football is predominantly played in cooler/colder weather so my other gear isn't suited to wear to the gym or something... but again pandemic so that's not happening either.

Butchie_T Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 I’ll keep a Redskins lamp my mother gave me for Christmas back in the 70’s. Banners will remain, but t-shirts will be disposed of and no further new anything. Pretty sure, for me the name change was the final straw. Going forward, i’m not gonna have the fan interest I previously had. Screw political correctness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about those Native Americans that are offended essentially by others telling them that they are too stupid to know they should be offended.

TSO Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Yeah, this thread simply isn’t one for The Stadium. As @Jumbo said, it’s been tough for us to navigate when and where to draw the line with this whole issue as related to the team and its socio-political relevance, but I think this thread topic simply can’t escape focus on the latter. Moving to The Tailgate where you guys can get into it as much as you’d like regarding this topic. Consider it a mercy as there are multiple examples here of posts that directly violate the directive pinned at the top of the Stadium.

I hope everyone knows I'm being super sarcastic. I've been proname change most of my life despite being a fan. I find it absurd.

Go for it, just got back from New Mexico with reservations and pueblos everywhere. So glad this thread got moved to the tailgate, I hope it stays open so we can see how the responses change like the name change thread did over the years. Internet is like a digital geologic record.

Springfield Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I wanna get a plain white T shirt with "Washington Football Team Est 1932" written on it in the same script of that Drake album. Can somebody make this happen? I'll pay $50. Size medium, mens. If it's one of those "universal" T shirt sizes then it'll have to be a large.

PokerPacker Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I didn't notice that you'd already done it... Looks like you can upload that to Custom Ink and have one made for a bit over $20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooked Crack Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I don't have any real gear besides a blanket I was gifted so it's not going to be hard. I do want to get some Washington FT merch though. I assume it will be better than whatever name they end up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
