Will You Still Wear Your Skins Gear After?

[Monkeydad]

ABSOLUTELY!


I have a Skins plate on the front of my car and a frame around the license plate on the back. Staying put...watch the car get vandalized by an actual racist.


I also am buying more Redskins merch this week. Bought a new beanie cap for winter to replace the one my wife accidentally donated to a coat drive last year and am shopping for a Sean Taylor jersey while I can still get one.

I'm also eyeing up a 4-foot long championship banner for their three Super Bowls.

Yes, I'll keep wearing and I'll buy more while I can too.

And YES, you're letting me in the stadium in Redskins gear.

In all seriousness, I am under the assumption fans will not be attending games this year. If between now and the start of the 2021 season, they announce that any gear depicting any Native American Imagery is prohibited at FedEx field, then what do you do? Forget the idea of sneaking it in or wearing layers and then exposing it once you are in your seat. Obviously, many would try that. I am saying, they tell you you cannot enter the stadium wearing it and that you can be ejected if found wearing it inside the stadium?

You better do so quickly, because I would not be surprised if stuff starts getting pulled from shelves. Places that sell licensed stuff can be ordered to do so and if they do not comply can lose their contracts with the manufacturers.

I'm only going to wear my Redskins gear to formal venues such as The Kennedy Center, The Metropolitan Opera, and The White House.

I haven't worn too much Redskins stuff the past couple of years just because they've been such an embarrassment on the field. So I may just pack things away for now. I do have some hats I like but that's about it.

Looking at Terry McLaurin jerseys for my son right now. I think I'll go with the throwback, he loves those uniforms.

I know better than to buy a QB's merch (thanks RG3, Kirk...).


My son wears his Kerrigan jersey but I have the feeling Ryan might only have a year or two left. Terry should be here for a long time hopefully.

I have some gear I wear around the house doing yard work. Through a winter coat I had for 10 yrs that I don't wear (it is warm but useless when wet so not really an effective winter coat) so I sold it on ebay last week for $80 that was a worthwhile sale will put it towards new team gear. I had an all black Skins hat that I wore religiously but I never wear it outside my house. Mostly because I have hated having to own Snyder in public in Ravens country. He literally has worn me down having to answer questions about his actions. However, I won't wear my Skins gear out in public anymore. In addition to having to own Snyder I had an interaction in Vermont with a group of Native Americans at township festival about 5 years ago where we had a great dialogue but since then I decided to respect the feelings of my brothers.

I will say my kids who are highly indifferent to the Skins going to school around Baltimore they watch the Ravens neither are really into watching the games I think it is just to talk to their friends in school but they really want to buy some new gear when the team is released.

I grew up in the late 80s and early 90s expansion era and remember grabbing gear of every new logo that came out at that time.

It won’t take long for “Redskins” to be primarily associated with the crap tenure of Snyder. There aren’t going to be many of us left who remember Gibbs 1.0, let alone Sonny v Billy, the brief Lombardi era, the clothesline tackles of Chris Hanburger. In some ways it’s good to retire the name before Snyder adds another 20 years of mediocrity to the Legacy.

I’ll hold on to my most treasured Skins gear, but I’m not going to parade it around as an f u to racial sensitivity. This is our football team, not some new Lost Cause. If football is eventually banned for being too violent, THEN I’ll parade my gear around, Skins, Wolves, Warriors, Whatevers.

Good way to put it. It's like those that continue flying confederate flags. I think they're mostly doing it as a FU to everyone. Just makes them look dumb.

To answer the question, yes. The evidence has always indicated Redskins is not offensive, unless one uses cheesy Western B movies as a source.

I see people wearing or displaying lots of things I personally do not care for. It's none of my business.

Somehow I doubt the world will end.

I'll hang up the old logo in the closet, and every once in a while probably take it out and reminisce about my childhood fan days in the 80s and early 90s. To me that's how I'll look at the old stuff, a symbol of the greatness of the Gibbs era.

At the same time I'll look to turn the page and wear the new stuff, as soon as it's available, because I'm a fan of the team no matter what they're called, and I'll embrace the path forward.

I'm a die-hard, there was never a chance I wouldn't hop on the bandwagon, no matter which road it goes down.

Agree, I was pissed and rebelling the other day but I'm a fan forever
