O, and I actually do like the spear uni's. I don't think it screams redskins, but I think it looks good and I like the throwback aspect. It think it doesn't look as foreign as the all whites do, we're burgundy and gold, not white with a wee little bit of red trim.

I liked the white at first for the change and uniqueness...everyone in the league was putting on black and we went white...but now its just a tired uniform that looks like a nascar team that isn't good enough to get a sponser or something. Or some 5th grader won a competition and got to choose what color they would dye the uniforms for the upcoming game, and he said clear.

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.

why not go with the anniversary ones from a few years ago. They were SWEET!!

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?

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.
