Burgundy pants are back!

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

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.

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.

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.
