Well if your the artist, I dont see any one putting up a fight if your willing to make us a new logo.

Can I send my girl to you, maybe you can do a little adjustment here and there.:pimp:

[quote=GMScud;624331]That looks so dumb. The 70th anniversary spear helmets aren't racist and they are a lot closer to an Indian motif than that stupid bird-head helmet. However there are two problems I have with the 70th anniversary uniforms- they remind me of the Spurrier era, and they look like Florida State.[/quote]

I agree, so if we do change logo's, I say lets just put the Traditional R Logo on the helmet.

Thats cool. Im in the same boat. But the way you described it, Im feeling it...I like the orginality. I might have to put a twist on it if you dont mind mind.

Yeah. I never really could get in to that one. Then when I see that helmet, Spurrier just ruines any chance for me taken to it.

I've tried to copy and paste the old feather used from 1959-1964, but have been unable to do so, so here is the link.

The purpose of the feather is the same as a ball cap bill, it was to shield the eyes from the sun.

A little tweak by Summo maybe would help it, but I like it better than the spear, or the R, or the current logo. Maybe on a Gold background as an alternative.

My least fav is the R.

Yeah! I made this thread (parking lot. Technical help needed) asking for help on that type of stuff but noone replied. It would be nice to know how.

^ i couldn't do it from my computer but once i uploaded it to the interent i just copied and pasted the website and it worked, pain in the ass but worked

Re: New Helmet Idea
 

It would be cool if some of the bros could explain some of it. Its not that hard what I hear just a few would help though. Just think of some of the good stuff we have and just cant post it.

Re: New Helmet Idea
 

[quote=SBXVII;624267]Helmit looked like the Eagles almost. I know feathers are different from wings but change the colors to green and white and it's really close. I liked the spear better with the all Burgandy uni's.[/quote]

The spear is bad-ass.

No! to me the feather over the top middle sucked. I never got into it. As far as the Arrow, I think it was with the Skins prior to Florida State using it so if anything they copied the Skins. Plus they use different colors. They actually use the Gold color and most of the time the pants are Gold. I could see us using the all Burgandy top and bottom with the arrow for away games. White top and Burgandy bottoms for home games.

I liked the yellow helmit with the R also. Would be neat if they found a way to use one helmit for away games and another for home games.

Maybe find some way to draw an axe on each side of the helmit. Maybe instead of the face in the circle how about a face taking up the whole side of the helmit and his head dress being the feather down the center?

that's the issue with designers

all that they understand is art when it comes to crap like this

Re: New Helmet Idea
 

This helmet sucks. I agree we should use the 70th anniversary uniforms with spear helmets those we tight. I loved the ol ball coach if he was given the right players he could have made it work.

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.

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.

Re: New Helmet Idea
 

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.

Are you really Vinny C's brother?

Re: New Helmet Idea
 

aren't we a big enough laughing stock of the league?

Re: New Helmet Idea
 

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.

Re: New Helmet Idea
 

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.

Re: New Helmet Idea
 

[quote=VTSKINS61;624283]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.[/quote]
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.

step 1: find an image host.. some use photobucket, imageshack, etc

I use my own personal one, here's another I use [url=http://www.imageftw.com/]a simple uploader :: imageftw.com[/url]

step 2: browse for the image on your computer

step 3: post image code that will look something like [img ]http://www.imageftw.com/blahblah/image32.jpg[/im g] (without the spaces in the image code)

you can also get just the direct link to the pic and press [IMG]http://www.thewarpath.net/images/editor/insertimage.gif[/IMG] and put the location of the image (remember it has to be online, not on your computer) there and it will do it for you

Re: New Helmet Idea
 

Our helmets are fine. No need to change them.

Re: New Helmet Idea
 

My favorite is the single feather on the back that acts like the helment stripes.

If any changes were made I'd hope it would be to this. They could even update it maybe to look like the current stripes on the helment but in the shape of the feather and same colors.

Obviously though I'd prefer no changes be made to our current.

Re: New Helmet Idea
 

^ I hate the feather down the top of the helmit. However I could see some compromise....perhaps enlarging the Indian face to fit the whole side of the helmit and turn the feather into a chiefs head dress going down the top center of the helmit to the back.

Or another option would be to jazz up the Lumbardi helmit. Maybe change the color to Burgandy and put a Gold "R" on it. Maybe use a different type of script. Or use the "R" helmit in either burgandy or gold and add the arrow either behind or over the "R".

Re: New Helmet Idea
 

[quote=Riggo44;624268]The old style with the feather coming up the back blows this one away. I think our current helmet is one of the best in the NFL. Why do uniforms have to change? The Yankees don't seem to think they do and they do alright.[/quote]I like the old feather. This one makes me think of a turkey for some reason. Indians are associated with Thanksgiving right?

Re: New Helmet Idea
 

[quote=InsanePianist;624275]I had been under the impression that the name "Redskin" was a racist term, meaning the scalp of a dead Native American or something like that...

[B]Now what about the logo itself is racist? Its just a face with feathers. What's racist about that? The fact that the face isn't white? hmm... [/B]

And yeah that "fashionable" helmet just looks stupid. Something like the spear from the 60's or maybe a new spin on that would be something I might be in favor of.[/quote]

Yeah, exactly. Why is a picture of an indian racist?

If an artist paints a picture of a indian, is that inherently racist? Why?
