Sure the new pants are a little lighter, but for the most part, except for the helmet, the throwback versions are very similar.<\/p>\n<p>The helmet in the 2012 version will of course set it apart. If you look at the &#8217;94 outfit, the helmet is more plum than burgundy and doesn&#8217;t seem to &#8216;fit.&#8217; The new helmet is a nice touch, and it will be interesting to see how the &#8216;leather look&#8217; comes through on television &#8211; if at all. At least it looks as though it will match a bit better for all of the fashionistas out there.<\/p>\n<p>If you take a look at the image below, that I pulled from our Sammy Baugh tribute page, you will see that the Redskins definitely stuck very closely to the uniforms worn in 1937.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.the-hogs.net\/blogs\/2012\/05\/11\/throwbacks-for-sure\/baugh_throws\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6362\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6362\" title=\"Baugh_throws\" src=\"https:\/\/www.the-hogs.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Baugh_throws.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"391\" height=\"360\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So what do you think?
