Burgundy pants are back!
 
I can't believe nobody has mentioned this yet. Personally I don't really care what they wear, but it was kinda nice to see the old white jerseys with burgundy pants look back again.

I agree Matty, looks good to go back to the days of old and the first Gibbs era. But I am just happy we won and are looking at playing the Coach Killer Vick!

My bro and I are so pumped, went out looking for touques today in case it is cold next weekend. It is now officially Falcons week, which means I get to see my first game in FedEx. Maybe they will wear the throwbacks for me... lol

Looked awesome. Hope they stay with it. Bring back the curved feather on the helmet and it will be complete.

Not the curved feather, reminds me of a cat sleeping

I don't care what we wear as long as we win. That said, it was nice to see something other than white on white for once.

I like the burgundy pants and the white jerseys. The all white was getting boring.

The pants looked different. Maybe more shiny? something was definately different.

Re: Burgundy pants are back!
 
It makes me mad that they ran the white on white into the ground. Going into this season they should have saved white on white for situations in which you absolutely need to win 6 in a row. As it is now, the magic is gone. Hopefully red on white can provide a new spark

According to Coach Gibbs, the players requested it. They said they needed a change.

All the way from Japan. Hail to you, that's some dedication. Anyhow the color representation is very important in many ways. First off we all know that in the scramble like colored jerseys/uniforms(all sports btw), upper body attire is confusing. At the same point in time, I do not care what the Skins wear(within some limits) as long as we win. The white & white was getting boring. On a different note, let's screw with the playoff picture and make sure nobody gets there easy.

P.S. I'm very content with JC's play so far

Hail!

they should have went back to the originals at the beginning of the season. i hate that white on white high school crap. they all look like they shoud have been selling ice cream

Re: Burgundy pants are back!
 
The white on white was last season and should have stayed with last season.

I would like to see some Burgundy jerseys and I think we will.

it's great that they finally ditched the high school practice jersey look.

You know, I was wondering the same thing. To me, they've always looked like a cloth sort of material -- I thought they looked shiny, almost reflective.

I'd still like to know why everyone is so against the burgundy jerseys.

It might be that they've never been washed. The last time they were worn was last November, I believe. These were probably brand new pants. Did they wear white on white in preseason? I can't remember.

I want gold pants. Throwback style.

My ongoing question is finally answered. They DID order some burgundy pants this year.

I hope we never go back to all whites.

I don't know. I'd have to see that. On the highlight reels from the 70's, the gold pants didn't look right -- especially with the burgund/white/burgundy striping down the sides. The color then was almost bright yellow. Yuck.

Now, if they did something more metallic gold, kind of like what the Rams or 49ers have, then I'd be open to it.

the 70th anniversary jerseys were super dark burgundy with metallic gold pants i think. i believe madden has them as an alt uniform for the skins.

and yeah, in metallic gold, they don't look bad.

Burgundy jerseys suck. It's the jersey other teams make the skins wear when they're on the road. It's the jersey we have to wear in Dallas. It's the jersey we often struggle to win in because we're on the road. Burgundy jerseys look too much like K.C.'s jerseys and Marty made the skins wear them at home which I saw as an insult to the redskins' legacy.

you said it all. and speaking of Legacy, Joes Gibbs is who solidified that uniform's legacy, and it makes all the sense in the world to bring it back (and KEEP it) this time around.

The white over burgundy is by far my favorite uni.

Yes, I am glad the burgundy pants are back. Bringing back the gold pants?? only as part of an alternate uniform. and then it would be like the ones from the 75th anniversary.

Now as far as the white jerseys go, I cannot site a specific quote, but I thought I read somewhere (or heard on the radio) that Gibbs preferred the white jerseys because the qb's can see the receivers better. That makes sense.

Yeah, I heard the same thing. That was in the old days when the Skins played at RFK stadium -- the way the shadows were sometimes cast over the field, there were literally 'dark spots' towards the endzone that made the burgundy jerseys hard to distinguish. Gibbs took note of that, and made the permanent switch to white jerseys at home.

I hear what you're saying, but think about it: What are the colors of the Washington Redskins? Burgundy and gold! NOT white and burgundy.

Personally, if I ran the NFL, the rule would be that every team would have to wear their team's primary color at home -- and every away team has to wear white.

An interesting side note, since everyone associates the glory years and Super Bowl wins with the Skins white jerseys/burgundy pants -- last year, when Pittsburgh wore their white jerseys, they were only the third team in Super Bowl history to wear white jerseys as the "home" team behind Dallas and Washington.

it's just a classic combo. White jerseys and burgundy pants. They make a terrific pair. Like lamb and tuna fish.
