Re: 2012 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike takes over

im sure it will be stated when reveiled but i also wonder if it is an alternate here to stay or not. I know our last 2 throwbacks were worn for 2 games and thats it, i wonder if we will get something more permanent like the steelers yellow helmet that they wear consistently.

if its good, it will stick around. i am honestly kind of tired of our traditional unis. they just seem very dated. id like a completely new uniform with our current uniform as our alternate/throwback.

This will be two games also. The Steelers' 80th inmate uniforms too.

That's a League uniform rule regarding the number of times a throwback/alt can be worn, not the team's decision.

So its the Skins 80th year and they will wear this ALT/Throwback against the Steelers who will also be wearing a throwback. Is there another team on their schedule that has been around 80 years that they also play that is a good fit for that 2nd game? Maybe one of the Giants games?

it would be cool if we could jsut get an alternate helmet like the steelers have the yellow one that they wear alot.

Re: 2012 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike takes over

Actually the NFL does not allow alternate helmets, it has to be a throwback from the past to be worn. (Steelers yellow, Cowgirls white, etc.)

With Nike and the Seahawks teaming up, it's probably a good rule now! We'll never see an Oregon treatment with a different helmet every week in the NFL, thankfully. Pro teams have much more concrete identities than colleges who change their uniforms every year and lately, every week. They have a money-making brand to sell in the NFL, so sticking to that is important to their marketing/branding/merchandising goals.


Anyway...just heard from someone I know in DC that the event is 4:30 to 6:30.

I'm impatient, I want to know!

well i guess that narrows it down for the helmet, it will be a throwback type helmet then hopefully that is modernized.

Re: 2012 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike takes over

I am guessing the throwback 80's anniversary uniforms will have some black in it. I am guessing gold pants, burgandy shirt with some black mixed in somewhere. From the looks of the 1932 Boston teams, they had those colors.

Redskins' 80th Anniversary Kickoff, Tonight

The Redskins Blog | Sneak Peek At Anniversary Uniform?


I'm slightly worried since it's Nike!

Quote:
The uniforms will blend historical elements from the team's past, with a new-age look for the future.












UPDATE: You can watch full podium coverage of the event, from 5-6:30 p.m., on the Redskins' Facebook Ustream page.

Re: 2012 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike takes over

Personally I like the burgundy on burgundy or burgundy on gold, the white
Only looks good if it's all white

All white looks bland. Do not like.

i don't like the all burgundy look. it would look better if the pants didn't have stripes, like the ravens in all black
