Will the Redskins ever get new uniforms?
 

I know this is probably a weird topic to bring up, but does anyone think the Redskins will ever change their uniforms? They could go back to the darker maroon with the spear on the helmet and change the yellow to gold and make a few changes to the jerseys. Why not throw in a black jersey, as well? Every other team is throwing out an alternate jersey and making money off of it. I think it's time the Redskins change their uniforms. Plus, another thing to think about - whenever a team changes their uniforms, for some unknown reason, the majority of the teams do better. Does anyone think it's time for a change or is it wishful thinking?

Re: Will the Redskins ever get new uniforms?
 

I damn hope it never happens.

Re: Will the Redskins ever get new uniforms?
 

i hate all the new style uni's. i would be really pissed if that were to happen.

Re: Will the Redskins ever get new uniforms?
 

Alternate jersey? You must be a kid or a new Redskins fan. The only time an alternate jersey should be worn is on Halloween. The only reason teams get new jerseys is to fleece idiot fans out of dough. The Redskins are not about to get on the football-welfare line for their next meal.

coggs, your sig kills me:)

Re: Will the Redskins ever get new uniforms?
 

I don't see anything wrong with the uniforms. The only change I see coming would be because of political correctness.

Can you say Buffalo Bills??? Chargers changed this year and went from a 1 to a 3. That is just recent examples... yes, you get the Bronco's... but you get just as many that go down too.

Unfortunately you are probably right, at some point especially if they get to the Super Bowl again enough pressure will be put on them that they will have no choice but to change thier name...probably the Generals or something lame, notice how we only hear about it when they are winning...I'll still root for them, but it won't be the same...

To my understanding Dan Snyder already owns the rights to the name Warriors through the Arena League. Sorry I have nothing to support this other than hearsay.

Re: Will the Redskins ever get new uniforms?
 

Okay I found a supporting article that Snyder owns the name Warriors.

F--k Political Correctness. Two of my grandparents immigrated from Ireland, you don't hear me b!tching about the Bahsten Celtics or Notre Dame Fightin' Irish. Another grandparents was born in Canada and I don't complain about Vancouver Canucks or Montreal Canadiens. I can trace roots back to Sweden but Minnesota Vikings doesn't bother me. I am 6'2" 265, but do not complain about the New York or San Francisco Giants.

Re: Will the Redskins ever get new uniforms?
 

I agree with the whole political correctness thing. I see that as being the only thing that could affect the look of our uniforms. Personally I think ours are the best looking in the league. (maybe I have a biased opinion but oh well) Look at the teams that have had a complete transformation of their uniforms and colors within the last 15 years or so: Patriots, Buccaneers, and the Rams. . I could maybe include the Falcons too. Anyways, back to my point. The Pats and Bucs uniforms before were absolutely horrible. Look at how cute Warren Sapp looks.

Maybe its because i'm not a Bucs fan, but I could never imagine myself wearing one of those jerseys. Surely someone got the word around how hideous they were and the changes were made, but I don't see that happening with us. If theres a skins fan here who hates our uniforms SPEAK UP!

Re: Will the Redskins ever get new uniforms?
 

I don't like this thread. Redskins uniforms are just right, they've won 3 superbowls with what they are wearing. No need to change.

Re: Will the Redskins ever get new uniforms?
 

Agreed, sfredskin. No change is necessary. Maybe it's just the nostalgia factor but I LIKE the old Bucs and Pats unis.

Those uni's are sacred, better NEVER change them!

The Rams changed their uniforms AFTER they won the Super Bowl.

i hope your statment isnt true..americans are too soft!! political correctness? when the indians start handing over some of that casino money..then well talk!

Re: Will the Redskins ever get new uniforms?
 

if it aint broke dont fix it...i will say this however..i like how they bring back the old uniforms..the throwbacks.. the yellow pants..with yellow helmut! or the spear from a few years back! im ok with that every couple of years! i like the old school look.but other than that i love of uni's

Re: Will the Redskins ever get new uniforms?
 

Well.....I didn't expect to ruffle so many feathers with this thread. I was just looking for something to debate. Would new unis look pretty cool? Yes, but I may have to retract my statement and just stick with tradition. I am big on tradition. I guess I looked at some of the other successful teams and saw the weird comparison between new unis and success. If any Skins fan was offended, my bad. Go Skins!!!!

The current uniforms are our new uniforms from the old yellow pants and burgundy jersey's. So as you can see we are winning with our new uniforms.

Re: Will the Redskins ever get new uniforms?
 

IF we win in Seattle we should get to see our burgundy jerseys in Dallas!!!

I agree with you man. I love those!

Re: Will the Redskins ever get new uniforms?
 

The uni's should never change.
The name will never change. F the PC police. They need to focus on things that are actually worthwhile. Not the respected name of our football team which has no negative meaning what so ever as it is used, or has been used since 1933.

Re: Will the Redskins ever get new uniforms?
 

I don't want a thing to change with our uniforms. I love the colors, and I love the helmet. I did like the 70th anniversary helmets, though. But, I can't see the Redskins ever changing their helmets unless it's a very small change.

I definitely don't see the team moniker changing anytime soon. I'm tired of this politically correct BS.

Re: Will the Redskins ever get new uniforms?
 

No need to change the uniforms. Mix in the occasional throwback and we're fine.

Re: Will the Redskins ever get new uniforms?
 

No change. Name or unis.

Re: Will the Redskins ever get new uniforms?
 

I would just like to see the Skins mix it up every once in a while.... White on White, Burgandy on Burgandy.....

Re: Will the Redskins ever get new uniforms?
 

scowan, I like your thinking. I owe an apology to all Redskins' fans if I offended anyone. But scowan brings up some good ideas. We've seen white on white, but let's throw in some burgandy on burgandy.

Re: Will the Redskins ever get new uniforms?
 

i dont understand the politically correct issue about our name. i dont see how it is derogatory?

Exactly. Maybe years and years ago, but not now, not in mainstream america. But there is a small group of native americans that try to stick it to the govt. every chance they get, and I cant say I blame them, but the issue of the name 'Redskin' should be at the very bottom of the totem pole, pun intended.

I'm right there with you...I have Cherokee all over my family tree and I never took any offense...my grandmother was almost full blood and she was a Redskins fan right up until the day she died...hell, she broke the television when Clint Longley connected with Drew Pearson on Thanksgiving Day it pissed her off so bad...

The Atlanta Braves went through all this garbage when they went to the World Series in the 1990's, it was Indian against Indian during that run...one Indian group protested the name and the Florida State Seminole War chant Deion Sanders brought with him when he played there, the other Indian group loved it and even got a contract to make the foam rubber tomahawks that the fans used during the chant...the whole thing seems a little disingenuous and attention whoring to me...if they were that pissed off how come we never hear of any protests when these teams are loosing?

We ALWAYS seem to wear our road whites, both home and away. Sometimes the other team will wear their whites at home, when they do, the Skins should throw the Burgandy on Burgandy at them!

Re: Will the Redskins ever get new uniforms?
 

I dont think we need new uniforms really. We have a lot to pick from. Heres a compilation of what uniforms are available for us to use (even though we haven't used some of these in awhile)

The Burgundy and Gold (my personal fav)

But as you can see we have PLENTY of uniforms we could choose from (and probably some I didn't post). No need to try and sucker the fans out of another $60.

Re: Will the Redskins ever get new uniforms?
 

Colors are good. Name is sacred. New "stylish" uniforms are lame.

Current helmet emblem is only so-so, though. Having an Indian head with feathers inside of a circle that also has feathers is double-feathering.

Re: Will the Redskins ever get new uniforms?
 

The Giants and Jets went back to their old unis and I think everyone agrees they look better than the 1980s editions . . . I wouldn't mind seeing the Skins arrow unis or the Big R unis again, like the wore this year. Never was a big fan of the current indian head.

Re: Will the Redskins ever get new uniforms?
 

If The Danny is anything, he's a traditionalist for the glory days of the first Gibbs tenure, right down to the uniforms. My all-time favorites are the white jerseys, burgundy pants and helmets that we won 3 Super Bowls in, and still wear for home games to this day.

Re: Will the Redskins ever get new uniforms?
 

I like the current indian head logo better than the block R. What do you guys think about the script R?

Re: Will the Redskins ever get new uniforms?
 

The only name change I will accept is the Bullets, and even then I'll be pissed. Personally I love the Redskins uniforms. I'm not to crazy about history, but I appreciate the classic looks of teams like the Packers, Bears, Redskins, Steelers, and Browns. Coversley teams have updated classic looks with pretty good success, this includes the 49ers, Giants, and Dolphins.

However I see no reason for the Redskins to change their look anytime soon. If anyone is adament then fear not. The Redskins do a pretty good job IMO of putting together alternate looks like the 70th and 75th aniversary jerseys.

I could go on about this forever but I think thats enough for now.
