I guess most people know the story about why Vince Lombardi chose the "R" helmets. He was basing that on the "G" helmets of the Packers, whom of course he had coached before the Redskins. Maybe he liked the yellow helmets of Green Bay too.

Personally, I like the uniforms, and having canary yellow prominent in the color scheme, but think that the "R" is better on a baseball cap.
