Anyone else think it's time for a uniform change?

yeah i agree with that, they're great as a change of pace, our 'black unis', but not our standard uni.

And of course Madden is an excellent gauge for how the team will perform in real life.

At the risk of being chastised for starting yet another uniform thread, I thought it was interesting that Cleveland, Kansas City, and Houston all wore white uniforms at home yesterday. Jacksonville did too, but they're known for that occasionally. As is Miami and San Diego, all hot weather cities.

While I loved seeing the burgundy jerseys at home in the Schottenheimer era, it does seem that the Skins do better in whites. Also, do you think Gibbs has sworn off the burgundy pants forever?

Discuss...

All about the Gibbs
The Washington Redskins' colors are burgundy and gold. They are one of the three NFL teams that primarily wear their white jerseys at home (the others being the Dallas Cowboys, and the Miami Dolphins). The tradition of wearing white jerseys at home was started by Joe Gibbs when he took over as coach in 1981. Gibbs was an assistant for the San Diego Chargers in 1979 and 1980, and the Chargers wore white at home during the tenure of coach Don Coryell in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Whoa whoa whoa, before this gets ugly/uglier, my post was a joke. I wasn't upset, didn't get offended, and it wasn't a attack/counter attack for what cane/skin posted. Since I never actually said anything to him (I only questioned why he didn't like the spear jersey and made my self "look dumb" by not knowing the dolphins colors) I thought folks would see I didn't actually take offense.

Just think if I had said the types of things cane/skins did in my post as well, lol, ya'll would have me kicked outta here for sure. Saying his uni should "go to hell" and that his idea was stoopid like he said about mine...well...lol, this would be real ugly/uglier.

I'm sorry it didn't come across as a joke, I went back and read it just now and am sorry I wasn't clear about that. I shoulda made my post clear i guess that it was meant to be funny, the wife would say I am funny on rare occasions, so folks wouldn't take offense to it. I just came back to the site to see what was new and found out i'm a touchy little twit because of that post, so I wanted to clear that up.

***I know he meant the U of Miami, not the dolphins. Between his name, the fact Portis is the scouting director for souther florida, the fact up to 15% of our 53 roster could be former U players, and that the Dolphins don't use those colors I thought it would be clear I was joking. I guess the playing dumb thing in that paragraph just came across as me being dumb, sorry.***

And I only wrote teh because thats how cane/skins wrote it in his post where he quoted/responded to me. It was hard to remember to spell it that way when I typed that. Doing that was meant to be part of the humor as well, not meant to piss you off. Alright, I better post this before everyone stops by to rip me a new one....hell, much longer and ya'll might have me banned from the site, lol.

Never liked the white on white anyway. One of the Skins nicknames is "burgundy and gold" but that no longer applies, does it? Would like to see the burgundy pants again, with white jerseys. Otherwise, we'll have to call them the "white and white".

the 70's with burgundy and mustard pants

Um...well...um...white isn't one of the redskins colors. Folks rip other teams for wearing black jerseys/uni's, how is that different from us wearing all white? Ok, Ok, i know thats different, but white isn't our color and niether is white. I'm a fan of the burgundy and gold and want to see my team wear their colors.

I'm all for uni changes. I'd like to see several combo's, not just a home uni, a road uni. Gimmie a home, a road, an all white, red top gold bottom, white/gold, all red maybe, throwback once a year, and the AWESOME SPEAR ON THE HELMET UNIFORM once a year. I don't care if we won several games wearing white/white last year, we've won superbowls with other uniforms on.

If they want to travel the supersition road, lets wear white/white until we lose a game and then bring some color...if they do that I'd prefer that we wear white on white until next season though...

PLEASE, for one game a year wear the DAMN BURG/GOLD WITH THE SPEARS ON THE HELMETS, best looking uniform i've seen on the redskins, one of the best in the history of the NFL.

To hell with teh stupid spear jersey? Is it because of teh seminoles that you hate it so much? Perhaps a spear jersey hurt your feelings, is that why teh spear jersey needs to go to hell? I thought most folks liked teh spear jersey, I didn't mean to bring up bad memories, sorry.

Orange and green, hmm...let me think about it...i'm seeing it now...yeah...um, nope, I don't get it. Why would teh redskins wear teh dolphins uniforms? I honestly can't think of a single reason for it, what is the strategy or reason behind wearing teh Miami Dolphin Uni's? Seems very silly to me.

Um, wow I think SkinsNCanes was just joking, and he suggested Orange and Green because he is a fan of the Hurricanes, it is like me suggesting the Skins should wear Blue and Orange because I am a Virginia fan. I do not really think he thinks the spear jersey is "stupid" nor was a direct attack on you.

Maybe....or maybe he was talking about the FAMU (Florida A&M baby!), coached by none other than former Skins D-Line coach and Andre's dad, Rubin Carter! Their green and orange unis would look great on the Skins
