[quote=exit0;733462][B]I'd much rather see them wear the Burgundy jerseys with white pants rather than these icky mustard yellow pants. [/B]They should go back to the gold pants like they wore in the mid-60s. As long as they never, never wear those all burgundy uniforms from last year.[/quote]

Yes. My exact thoughts.

I'd be fine with staying with the traditional uniforms that we had during the glory years.

If the fans are clamoring for a change, then let's petition the organization to begin an official campaign for a makeover with fan input -- maybe vote for the best new look.

I was looking at the Dallas uniforms the other night, and granted I am biased but those stripes and numbers on their jerseys look cheap. Looked like they were ironed on in someones' basement.

I do like the Redskins' band uniforms. A vast improvement from what they had been wearing. For some reason they reminded me of McDonalds uniforms.

Yeah, I've noticed that too. Their numbers just don't look right.

The pants that go with the white jerseys are sort of aqua color, too. Not silver -- not the silver they wear with with dark blue jerseys.

Anyway, they're the Cowboys. So they just suck all the way around.

Re: Redskins Uniforms
 

Yea Dallas jerseys are weird bcuz the pants are more of a greenish color instead of silver. And the blue stripes on the sleeves are differnt colors than the blue star.. Really odd

Re: Redskins Uniforms
 

i think our jerseys were badass sunday night. definite keeper imo.

Re: Redskins Uniforms
 

I wouldn't change a thing. They are classic. Seems like the teams changing their unis don't have much tradition. Look at the teams that still have classic unis: SF, PIT, DAL, WAS, etc.

Get your HDTV calibrated.

But seriously, The unis were just a mix-and-match of jerseys and pants that the team had laying around in the equipment room. Did you see Bidwell? He jersey clearly showed the wide yellow and white stripes on the sleeves that match the same stripes on the burgandy pants. Yes, I know most players are wearing the elastic cuffed jerseys so it's not noticeable but, the stripes on the gold pants (and socks) clearly belong with another jersey. In my opinion, DALs unis are clean. Standard numbers without outllines match the players' nameplate and the numbers are on the shoulders instead of on the sleeves. That's why the 70th anniversary unis were so nice.

No, Dallas does wear green pants and none of the blues match throughout the uniforms.

I always thought this but never heard anyone else mention it.

Re: Redskins Uniforms
 

The real reason they did it was: in the 1970s, the colors did not show up accurately on TVs back then, so they started using the silver-green (real name of that color) pants to make them look better on TV.

However, those days of bad TVs are long gone and they still use that trainwreck of a uniform.

I have no valid explanation for trying to use every shade of blue known to man in the same uniform, but that's the reason behind the green pants.

Yea and with HDTV's now a days everyone can really see it. Weren't they supposed to change the color of the pants this season as a result?

Re: Redskins Uniforms

Re: Redskins Uniforms

Yeah, they were supposed to change to all silver and navy...two UNIFORM colors.

There was a even whole thread about it on CCSL but it never happened.
