We've had a great run with helmets but that concept is one of the WORST I have ever seen.

Right now, our current uniform set is one of the best in the NFL. It's so classic and looks so great color- and design-wise that it should not be touched. If we do change, I vote for the return of the spear or the Lombardi set, both are great, but our current ones are the best and there is no reason to change or even tweak them.

Wearing white-on-white should be banned though, I hate the look.

Looks very terrible. Now this is I like:

I'm a big fan of this Redskins logo. I could understand doing a more "updated" version of this particular one, but the suggest one just plain out sucks! I personally am not a fan of changing our current logo whatsoever, but if we had to, go back to the spear 'n feather.

Its only a matter of time before the Skins change their name and logo but this helmet just wont do it. I prefer the spear for a past helmet.

I'm not a big fan of the Lombardi version just because it made us look too much like the Green Bay Packers. But I do agree about going with the spear 'n feather.

Maybe if we ever do start a new era without the current coaching staff, and front office..maybe a change in uniform is what we also need? Nah....I'm too much of a classic junkie myself.

Shit, that is what it is!!!!! You want a new helmet go to the burgundy throwback helmet with the spear. Shoot I would take the yellow helmets with the big R on them over this piece of crap.

I agree. The burgundy and gold is very original and classy.

I love the idea of using the script R as our helmet logo somehow, if not the old spear. Maybe a gold R outlined in white on the Burgundy helmet, or some variation of that.

Oh and FSU's spear design debuted in 1976, 11 years after Washington first used theirs. I'm guessing FSU's was designed in the likeness of the old Redskins spear, but they tweaked a few things besides the shell color. (length of spear, jagged arrowhead as opposed to our straight arrowhead, thickness of spear, position of feathers)

I think Utah's helmet looks a lot like ours too.

That is awful. If we have to change then I would change it to the spear helmet. The current helmet is one of the best, if not the best, in the whole league.
I don't like the spear... looks amateur/collegiate (heh)

if anything I'd go back to the script R, but I want the current to stay.
