The ripped numbers adds a touch of "I'll kick yer @$$" too I think.

what is funny is that sellers on ebay used to call this jersey the 75th anniversary jersey
eBay: ART MONK Redskins 50th Anniversary Throwback Jersey XL (item 160132208009 end time Jun-27-07 20:16:34 PDT) (http://cgi.ebay.com/ART-MONK-Redskins-50th-Anniversary-Throwback-Jersey-XL_W0QQitemZ160132208009QQihZ006QQcategoryZ24977QQ rdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)
But now that the 75th anniversary is here and it would cause problems for them if they called it the 75th anniversary jersey because the skins obviously are not going to wear anything that looks like that, they have to call it the 50th anniversary jersey

Obviously the uni is on G.P. Marshall but it reminded me of a line about Baugh: "He use to show up at camp every year year with a new suit and a 5 dollar bill and didn't change either all season."

I hope they just wear them once or twice. The old school yellow helmets will blind some folks if it is a sunny day!!!
Then we should wear them twice against Dallas, NYG and Philthy. :D

That can be like a cool version of our white on whites during the playoff run.

I never liked the yellow helmets with the "R". Love the Skins, hate the yellow and "R". I'd rather see a real throwback to the single feather up the back of the helmet. It reminds folks of our NFL Championships back in the early years.
I have never been a fan of the R either. Check out this site with all the logos
Washington Redskins Logos (NFL) - Chris Creamer's Sports Logos Page - SportsLogos.Net (http://www.sportslogos.net/team.php?t=168)
This one however is by far the sweetest:

The yellow helmets and yellow pants were Vince Lombardi's contribution to the Skins. The Skins wore true burgundy and gold and the spear helmets, before his arrival. Lombardi basically made the Skins look like the Packers but with maroon instead of green. I'm not a fan of that look but I do like the 5 stripe pattern on the jerseys and socks and the yellow pants better than the current 2 stripe jerseys and white pants.
The true burgundy and gold uni's with the spear helmet are the best, though.
