Redskins Uniforms
 

OK if this is a useless thread my apologies and I realize I have been kind of a thread cop with aceinthehouse of late.


Last night I went out to Buffalo wild wings to watch the Vikes vs. Saints, the group we were with got into a conversation about the ugliest uniforms.


Most people were saying the Redskins and I was floored; I think our uniforms are pretty cool.

Do you guys hate our uniforms? Have you heard other folks say ours is ugly?

I even polled other tables and that seemed to be the case (hated our uniforms), I had on no redskins gear so it was not like they were trying to raze me.

Re: Redskins Uniforms
 

I don't know why people would say our jerseys are ugly. Their pretty standard, nothing special about them. I rather like them, their old school.

Re: Redskins Uniforms
 

I'm not a huge fan of our unis. Nothing wrong with them, imo, but I just don't particularly like them. That said, I don't know how many uniforms I actually like. I'd have to say that I think the Bills are by far the worst, though

From 1 to 10 and 10 being the gayest this thread is a 9. LOL

Re: Redskins Uniforms
 

First down, now is that politically correct?

Re: Redskins Uniforms
 

I'm personally ready for a change to our helment, but I'm pretty cool with our unis. I'm just ready to get the Indian head off of the helment. I would rather have another symbol that is more threating. The Spear was cool, I don't know, the Indian head just sits there. His expression is not even intense.

Yet you ventured in and posted, thanks for coming out!

That's the right for ya

Re: Redskins Uniforms
 

The biggest negative comment I have heard about the unis is the "Condiment" colors.

Re: Redskins Uniforms
 

What, BBQ sauce and Dijon?


I am on a board that deals with sports logos and uniforms. (Summo is there too)

They like to hate on the Skins' uniforms and name...I really think the over-sensitive PC crowd just hates anything Redskins because those white people are "offended" for Indians who aren't offended themselves. They're always trying to rename the team to the Warriors...or something even dumber.

People say we have outdated uniforms...but I think they're classic...that's why they're unchanged for a while. The color scheme looks GREAT. The striping is consistent (unlike the Giants) and there is no unnecessary/ugly piping like the new Vikings/Bills/Jags/many teams. Our colors match throughout unlike the Cowboys. Better yet, we have not gone the route of adding black for no reason, when it's not part of the team's color scheme, like the Eagles/Lions/Cardinals/49ers (who have removed it to their credit).

Since they added some metallic in the helmets for TV appeal, they look GREAT.

I wouldn't mind some gold pants or changing the yellow-gold to a true gold...but I think we have one of the best, classic yet great-looking uniform sets in the NFL.

Look at the modern crap being churned out by Reebok...the Vikings, Seahawks, Titans, Bills (WORST IN THE NFL), Giants, Jags (helmets are cool but unis are utter poop), Cardinals...be thankful we've stuck with tradition. If Nike ever gets the NFL uniform contract, may God have mercy on our eyes. Pro Combat = Colon Cleansing

Not your fault, but that '8' in your '28' avatar has some kind of eating disorder. It's way too skinny.

Re: Redskins Uniforms
 

Psst...we call it 'gold'.

Re: Redskins Uniforms
 

Yeah I agree, the sentiment I always have heard about our unis is the color. People dont like the B&G. I do, but most women especially do not.

Re: Redskins Uniforms
 

what do women know!!! lol

Re: Redskins Uniforms
 

Hoping for the Burgundy Tops and Gold pants...
That will rock!

We need a change from this cluster(bleep) the last few years...

Hell,I would be OK with the Black alternatives, if it meant a change from the crappy play we've seen imo...

I love it! I think it will be a very nice change...

Wonder it we wear the traditional Logo or the Yellow helmet (R)?

NO BLACK, EVER.

Our uniforms have not been BAD lately...just bad combos...namely the white-on-white. I think I like the all-burgundy though, but it's probably a bad look.

Re: Redskins Uniforms
 

The burgundy on burgundy HAS to go

I think the yellow pants look better with the dark jerseys but they should stick with the burgundy pants with the white ones, it looks more symmetrical with the burgundy helmets. I agree w/ Buster that the unis have a ton of tradition and shouldn't go with a radical change. I did a mock up a redesign a while ago here is what I came up with then:

B&G is a GREAT color combo. My sister has a B&G bedroom. It's used in a ton of palaces and upscale places...so it fits Snyder too. :D

Re: Redskins Uniforms
 

Do you guys like the Spear logo or the R with feathers logo more?

I'm partial to the spear but i love them both...

Re: Redskins Uniforms
 

Here is the unis with the yellow pants:

[IMG]http://faction13.com/SkinsUniRedesignwhiteYellowPants.jpg[/IMG]
Not crazy about the white yellow combo

This isn't too bad however.

Not crazy about the pipng and skinny stripes. Looks too much Minnesota Vikings.

Here's a cool update someone came up with:

Then there are the idiots who suggest we should stay the Redskins, but refer to potatoes instead of Indians.

Re: Redskins Uniforms
 

We should wear the R Logo yellow helmets when we play the packers at home..

Maybe screw with Rodgers in throwing some picks...screw with his head..lol

No...I wouldn't make any radical changes,but I would like for the team to experiment a little for fun...have some fun out there..

That's been missing for a long time.
I miss the fun bunch!

Anyways...I'm tired of the red on reds...white on whites
I personally want to see some Gold,be it the Pants or Yellow R helmet.

Time for us to make our own history!

Re: Redskins Uniforms
 

buster I love that Redskins logo that would be tight!

Re: Redskins Uniforms
 

That updated logo looks pretty cool actually

Re: Redskins Uniforms
 

looks pretty cool but i still like the original logo more

I LOVED the 75th anniversary uniforms...never was crazy about the Lombardi uniforms until I saw them, but if we were going to change, I think the look we went with for the 70th would be the best change. With Allen's gold pants, it could be a possibility.

Re: Redskins Uniforms
 

personally my favorite thing about the 70th anniversary uni's are Ramsey wearing them lol

Re: Redskins Uniforms
 

Something else I think would be cool,would be a reversal on the RHelmet

Instead of the Yellow helmet with a red R...maybe go with our traditional Burgundy helmet with a Yellow R.

Slightly better than Wuerffel and Matthews I suppose, maybe.

Maybe, but that would just look like a stripped-down version of the current.

Re: Redskins Uniforms
 

Maroon, black, and yellow!

I love our uniforms. I hate the Florida State spear. The current logo is timeless. I love the three stripes over the top. I appreciate the simple design of the pants and jerseys, rather than the cluster like say Bills.

I like this allot, but if you think the Native Americans have a problem with what we have now this would make it worse. He looks angry almost like Hellboy.

Re: Redskins Uniforms
 

That's the thing, most Native Americans DO NOT have a problem...many that have an opinion feel more honored than offended.

It's the white people who are offended. Go figure.

If the Cleveland Indians' Chief Wahoo has survived this long, we have nothing to worry about...except being in D.C. I suppose, which will make us a target forever.

It's OUR look. We wore it in '65-'69.

SO many people call it an FSU look, I'm sick of it (nothing personal towards you)

Here's FSU in 1971-'74:

They didn't rip off the Redskins until about 1976 I believe...11 years after we first wore it.

Man, they had some UGLY helmets. :D

It looks like there's a big wang on the side of their helmet!

I hate to say it but I agree that the spear has become too associated with FSU regardless of who had it first. And the fact that we have a very similar color scheme doesn't help in the least. I think most people see that helmet and automatically think "Florida State" not "throwback Redskins."

I agree on both accounts. I like this helmet a lot, and I'd love to see it matched with the 70th anniversary throw-back uniforms. But yes, I could see this stirring a little controversy.

This helmet or not, I very much agree with those who have plugged the 70th anniversary uniforms. Those were fantastic. On the other hand, I think the all-burgundy uni created a new scale of ugly and rivaled in its awfulness some of 70s MLB uniforms (minus the excuse of "Well, it was the 70s after all").

I like the Pro Combat uniforms particulary the subdued black (flat black) helmets that VT was wearing the other night.
