Do you like our current uni's? If so why? If not why? and what would you like to see us wear?

I like them just fine. I would like to see them wear the burgundy more often, even though I've had a phobia against them during Gibbs first tenure and after it.

I definetly vote for the spear uniforms. Our burgundy uniforms are hideous, but I like our whites...

I liked the Spears, but they weren't the best looking things, just a nice change of pace IMO.

Was that Spurriers biggest accomplishment?

I persoannly think that we should get arrow helemts in the current helmets color, with a gold facemask and then the jerseys and pants we have now

I CAN'T for the life of me see why ya'll like those hideous throwback spear uniforms. When we cam out with our "new" uniforms, they were, and are, the BEST looking in the NFL, or any other sport I can think of.
Funny thing about the emblem, though, it actually comes from Carlisle, they've had a thing called the Jim Thorpe Trail forever, and that's what they had on all the signs forever.
That's just one mere reason to keep EXACTLY what we've got.
Look around, who do you think has a better rig than ours?

Personally, I always liked the Allen-Pardee era uniform: Redskin face helmet, gold pants, and either white or burgundy shirt.

But: whatever Gibbs decides if fine with me. I think he had some reason for always wearing the road uniform, if he had a choice. Probably some study that showed a QB could see a receiver slightly better if the receiver was wearing a white jersey...I don't know...

Well, rumors had it that he chose to wear white so the Cowboys would be forced to wear their darks, but the real reason Gibbs chose white is because quarterbacks have an easier time picking up the whites.

I've always wondered how true that is. The Michigan helmet design was also supposed to make it easier for quarterbacks to identify recievers...

I would like to see the white uniforms with the spear helmets, I also like the old yellow "R" helmets HTTR

Those throwback uniforms with the spears were hideous!!!! They looked like they came right out of the now defunct USFL!!

Well, I respectfully disagree. First, the Redskins' colors are burgundy and gold. Any uniform we wear should have those colors; not yellow and off red. Also the helmets should have burgundy and gold. Not yellow! I think Gibbs should make up his own design after this season; hopefully using burgundy and gold.

I have been watching the Skins since 1969 and don't really want to have the spear back thank you very much. Have grown accustomed to the Brave Skin and like him just fine on our helmuts.

Colors could be closer to Burgandy and Gold, with Gold pant - but more of a yellow gold not brown gold.

Just for God's sake, NO ALL WHITE PLEASE!!!!! Sorry SkinsChic and NikiH :wink:

Sorry, but the Michigan helmet design didn't have anything to do with the QB's picking up WR's. Back in the day there were two pieces of leather that made the helmet, and they decided to paint on piece of the leather yellow. The result is what you see today.

As long as there is no talk about changing the team's name I don't care that much about what they are wearing. Sure I like the current Uni's better. I think the arrowhead makes us look like FSU or something. And I'm sure when and if the skins start winning again the public outcry against racial sports names will begin. I just hope the danny can see past it and for once in his life do nothing.

I think that our O-Line should wear a Hog Patch on their uni's or maybe a dirtbag? lol

RedskinsFreak · Post by **RedskinsFreak** » Mon Sep 13, 2004 11:24 pm

Part of the original reason why Gibbs went with white for that first game against Dallas was the heat factor. White shirts are cooler. Many teams start the year wearing white at home (in Week 1, CLE, CAR, HOU, MIA, NYJ and PHI did it) but switch to the dark about midway through the season.

But once he saw them, he liked the look and stuck with it.

One thing that bugged me was it was basically all you saw when most other teams still go with dark at home.

Like this year. In the 16 games, they'll be wearing white-on-offred at least 14 times.

The only "if" game is Oct. 3 at Cleveland. I think that's early enough in the season where the Browns will still be wearing white at home.

i think with white pants and jerseys the the spear helmets would be really sweet looking.... i dont really care for the indian head, but it is indeed very classic you know?

Brandon777 · Post by **Brandon777** » Thu Sep 16, 2004 10:23 pm

I hate those spear helmets!!!!!!!!! They look too much like Florida State. I don't think, at least I hope, that Gibbs would ever use those arrow helmets again. I like the burgundy pants with the white shirts and the gold pants with burgundy shirts with the indian head logo on the helmets. NO ARROWS on the helmet!!!!!!!!!

DeathByLinebacker#56 · Fri Sep 17, 2004 12:42 pm

I like both throwback uni's. The ones worn in 94 and the 75th anniversary one's

I also like the white on white of last year :evil:

I absolutely hated the spears. Looked like some KC rip-off. Great Shades Of Schottemheimer, 1 A.D !
Bah ! Give me the whites. The Burgundy is a little too bland, but I have a feeling the team will make even those look real good this year.

NC43Hog · Post by **NC43Hog** » Fri Sep 17, 2004 10:12 pm

White on white = :puke:

Now THAT was a nasty thing. LaVar thought it was "lucky", too.

Trust me, if Gibbs has them wear white, he, like EVERYONE ELSE that does it, does it so that Dallas can't wear theirs. :evil:
