The Gold/Yellow Pants

BigPlayCityBaby · Post by **BigPlayCityBaby** » Wed Sep 26, 2012 9:39 am

I am really loving the switch this year to the yellow pants. I know we wore them sporadically in 2010 and last season, but I feel like this has turned into "our" look of the new regime and the RG3 era.

Do you like them, and are they here to stay? Like, is this our uniform for the forseeable future at home? My brother told me that he heard that this is not just a 2012 type deal--he said the yellow pants/burgundy tops are the new uniforms and that the burgundy top/white pants will be more like an alternate next season and beyond (the old style GOLD pants, GOLD helmets are our home alts this year)

I have been searching google, and I couldn't find anything, trying to get better info here.

Oh yea, HAIL!

I know they're "retro" and reminiscent of our team's original uniform but I don't like them.

I know the team colors are burgundy and gold, but the yellow pants are just too much for me. It'd be like if we had yellow jerseys and burgundy pants as an alternate color.

I definitely hate the white jerseys with the yellow pants, but that's just my opinion.

Thanks for the welcome! It's great to be here! Skins fan since the Posse/Art Monk days.

Do you guys think this is the look going forward for the next several seasons/forseeable future or they'll switch next year

Yes, the gold pants rock, especially with the burgundy jerseys. I'd like it even better if they were a little more gold and a little less yellow, but I've been wanting them to go back to gold pants for years. I think this current change was brought in by Bruce Allen as an homage to his father. This topic has been discussed many times over the years, most recently here.

Burgundy with gold pants = illy

The pants are bright GOLD fyi..

But is this a long-term thing or just this season?

Deadskins · Post by **Deadskins** » Wed Sep 26, 2012 11:25 am

Long as Bruce is GM.

Time will tell

The way they switch unis I don't think anyone can say for sure.. I do think these are the new Nike unis for right now tho.

The pants are great, takes me back to the George Allen days. My only wish is that they would go back to the helmet with the R on it! That would look so good along with perhaps Burgundy face masks!!

BOLLOCKS!!!

Sorry, but I just want the white jerseys and burgundy pants back, that's all....

Anyway, there's a thread I started here somewhere a month or two ago where you can vote for your favourite of any of the six different combinations we use. You might be interested in the results...

I feel like they're the most attractive uniform in the NFL! Best eye catcher in HD TV. Makes me love watching my favorite team even more. I just feel the home red tops, gold pants are synonomous with the RG3 era, an era that will have us back in the toast of the entire NFL; from game one in New Orleans..... hope that it's a look that isn't just temporary and flamed out. I Don't like how we change uniforms so much. This is a look I could get used to at home with the burgundy pants white tops on the road

I like them because they remind me of Larry Brown and the Over-the-Hill gang. Good times then.

Sometimes they look cool...sometimes they look like its a bunch of Ronald McDonald's out there.

Does anyone know anyone who works for the organization who we can ask what the plans beyond this year are for the pants?

Not sure but at first I didn't like them but they've grown on me a bit.

I see we went back to the white pants with the burgundy's yesterday? I don't know what they're thinking!

They are 1-2 with the yellow pants
Undefeated in the whites!

I suspect the expected temperature had a lot to do with the decision.

SORRY - have not been near a computer for days ...

You can take it from me ... I passed on the very eloquent posts of JSPB to certain folks I know and ...

we'll be seeing more gold pants this season

and

it's going to continue while Bruce is in the GM seat
