Where'd this pic come from? I've been asking for the burgundy jersey with gold pants for years. That's the way I dress my Madden 'Skins.

I still haven't gotten over them getting rid of the gold pants, not to mention not wearing burgundy jerseys at home, and thats been, what 27 years or so?

I don't care for the gold "R" helmet though. I think we've had the best helmets in the league since '72!

I like the gold pants. But not the burgandy jersey or the R helmet.

The two most likely games would be the Giants Week 3 4:15 and the Bears Dec 6 8:15. All the other home games are 1PM starts. I would think they'd choose a game with the most national exposure.

Now that I got my joking over with... apparently Larry Michael confirmed on Redskins Radio that the team will wear them against the Giants.

I wonder why they chose the Giants.. is this a team that has been around as long as us if not longer? I was thinking the Bears would be a good game to wear them as well since we have been battling them since the 1930s

Why not wear them Monday night against the Eagles?

Sweet, I will be there for that game and it will be cool to see them all decked out in vintage gear.

National Football League

The NFL was the last of the major professional sports leagues to adopt the third jersey rule in 2002, with the only exceptions being the 1994 season, when teams issued a throwback uniform in honor of the league's 75th Anniversary, as well as the Dallas Cowboys using the "Double Star" jerseys in addition to their current uniforms during the mid-1990s. The NFL rule states that a team may wear their third jersey only twice a year. There are no rules on wearing alternate pants.

In alphabetical order, the teams that have used third jerseys through the 2006 season:

* Atlanta Falcons - Adopted a red alternate in 2003 when the team redesigned the uniforms. The red alternate became the primary home jersey the following season, and the black jersey is still used as an alternate today and was worn 9/17/2006 vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers and 11/26/2006 vs. New Orleans Saints.
* Baltimore Ravens - Introduced an alternate black jersey in 2004. Mostly used in nationally-televised games during the night time. For the 2006 season, they will be worn on 12/31 vs Buffalo.
* Buffalo Bills - Used the O.J. Simpson-era uniforms as alternates in 2005. These jerseys, more popular with fans over the current design adopted in 2002, is rumored to becoming the regular uniforms down the road, as early as the 2008 season. For the 2006 season, they were on 9/24 vs NY Jets and 12/3 vs San Diego.
* Carolina Panthers - Introduced a "Carolina blue" alternate in 2002 that has been occasionally worn multiple times in the season. In 2005 this jersey was worn more frequently than the team's black jerseys. For the 2006 seaon, they were worn on 9/24 vs Tampa Bay and 11/19 vs St Louis.
* Chicago Bears - Wore 1940s-era orange throwbacks in 2004 Thanksgiving Day game with Dallas. Popularity with the fans led to the team introducing an orange alternate of the current design in 2005. For the 2006 season, they were worn on 10/29 vs San Francisco.
* Cincinnati Bengals - Introduced an orange alternate along with the redesigned uniforms in 2004. Worn during "special occasions". For the 2006 season, they were worn 10/22 vs Carolina and were later worn again on 12/10 vs Oakland.
* Cleveland Browns - Wore orange alternates during 2002-2004 seasons. Did not wear them during the 2005 season, and have officially been dropped as of 2006. A throwback based on the 1950s team was worn on November 28th against the Cincinnati Bengals.
* Dallas Cowboys - Used white "Double Star" jerseys in 1994 and navy "Double Star" jerseys in 1995. Revived the navy "Double Star" jerseys on Thanksgiving Day during the NFL's "Throwback Weekend" in 2001-2003. Since 2004, the team has worn the original 1962 navy "home" uniform designs as a third jersey, usually on Thanksgiving Day and Monday Night Football. Although the Cowboys primarily wear white at home, an alternate 1962 white jersey was made, but has yet to be worn by the team.
* Denver Broncos - Wore the Orange Crush-era "throwbacks" in 2001 Thanksgiving game, just five years after they were retired. Wore an orange alternate of the current design in 2002 and 2004. The jersey is still active as of 2006.
* Detroit Lions - Wore 1950s-era throwbacks on Thanksgiving in 2001-2004. Introduced a black alternate in 2005. For the 2006 season, they were worn on 9/10 vs Seattle and 12/24 vs Chicago.
* Green Bay Packers - Wore 1940s-era throwbacks in 2001 Thanksgiving game with Detroit, and wore 1960s-era throwbacks in 2003 Thanksgiving game, also with the Lions. Team has otherwise not worn a third jersey.
* Houston Texans - Introduced a red alternate in 2003. For the 2006 season, they were worn on 10/22 vs Jacksonville.
* Indianapolis Colts - Wore mid-1950s throwbacks in 2004 Thanksgiving game with Detroit used very early in team's history. Team has otherwise not worn a third jersey.
* Jacksonville Jaguars - Wore a black alternate in 2002-2004. Not used in 2005 but remained active. For the first time since 2004, they were worn on 11/20 vs NY Giants and on 12/10 vs the Colts.
* Miami Dolphins - Introduced an orange alternate in 2003. Also wore "undefeated '72 Dolphins" throwbacks in 2003 Thanksgiving game with Dallas.
* New England Patriots - Wore the "classic" Patriots throwbacks in 2002 Thanksgiving game with Detroit. Introduced a silver alternate in 2003. For the 2006 season, they were worn on 12/17 vs Houston.
* New Orleans Saints - Wore a gold alternate in 2002, and also wore an Archie Manning-era throwback in the same season. Currently does not have a third jersey, though the gold jersey is still sold as a "fashion jersey" in retail stores. In the 2006 season, wearing black pants was widespread, either at home or away.
* New York Giants - Introduced a red alternate in 2004. They were worn on 12/3 vs Dallas.
* New York Jets - Will wear 1960-62 New York Titans throwbacks for the 2007 NFL season. They will be worn on 10/14 vs Philadelphia. [2]
* Philadelphia Eagles - Wore 1980 throwbacks in a 2002 game. Introduced a black alternate of the current design in 2003. The team will wear 1934 jerseys against Detroit to honor the team's 75th Anniversary.
* Pittsburgh Steelers - Will wear 1947-1962 throwbacks during the 2007 season (09/16 vs. Buffalo and 11/05 vs. Baltimore) as part of the team's 75th Anniversary. [3]
* San Diego Chargers - Reintroduced the popular "powder blue" Chargers uniforms from the 1960s as an alternate in 2002. Elements from the throwback uniform were used when the Chargers re-designed their logo and uniforms after the 2006 season. Now sporting a white helmet (minus jersey number) full-time, the powder blue uniform was modernized and will serve as the new alternate jersey beginning in 2007.
* San Francisco 49ers - Wore "1989 throwbacks" in 2002, 2005 and 11/5/2006 vs Minnesota and 12/24/2006 vs Arizona. (even though they were still used regularly as recent as 1995). The team will wear them in their season opener vs. Arizona (with special league permission) after the death of NFL Hall of Famer Bill Walsh, as well as in a yet-to-be-determined home game later this season. [4]
* Tennessee Titans - Introduced a powder blue alternate of the current design in 2003. For the 2006 season, they were worn on 10/29 vs Houston and 12/3 vs Indianapolis.
* Washington Redskins - Wore 1960s-era uniforms in 2002 as a tribute to the team's 70th Anniversary that season. Despite popularity with fans and even rumors that the uniforms would stick around as an alternate (which was worn once during the 2003 season), team currently does not have a third jersey. During the 2007 season, the Redskins will wear 1970-71 throwback uniforms for selected games.

The Arizona Cardinals, Kansas City Chiefs, Minnesota Vikings, Oakland Raiders, Seattle Seahawks, St. Louis Rams, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers have never worn a third jersey other than the 1994 anniversary season. However, third jerseys for all of the above except the Cardinals exist as "fashion jerseys," not worn on the field but available to fans. Surprisingly, the Cardinals have never marketed a black alternate jersey, probably owing to the conservative nature of owner Bill Bidwill.

I'd be willing to give up 1 home game so that the entire world can see some Redskin heritage.

Honestly, I think it's better to wear them at home because the Skins fans are the ones that care the most.

I do not know how official it is but Larry Michael said they will wear the alternate Jersey next week against the Giants.
