The one helmet rule is killing the throwback stuff.
I agree, although I'm not sure why they couldn't just cover the whole helmet with a decal. I really enjoyed the faux leather helmets they wore with the uni last year.

Another issue with expanding to international countries with NFL teams...specifically the Jaguars...last week when they played in London, they kept the "Jags" patch on their jerseys. Certain terms we use mean other things in other countries. :D
In England, "jags" is an offensive term to insult someone, also used as "jag-off". It's similar to their word "wanker" in meaning and it usually used in place of the American word "idiot".
Nice move, NFL.

I LOVE these uniforms. Yes, there needs to be a few tweaks here and there, but otherwise I think the Redskins need to consider changing to these uniforms full time.
They'd have to add TV numbers to the shoulders to pass league approval. That rule doesn't apply to throwbacks.

That is actually one of the tweaks I was considering. Instead of the Indian head on the sleeves (which I think would be a bit overkill since the logo is on the helmet) Have a spear and feather on the sleeve with the jersey number above or below the spear.
