If I remember correctly, the Redskins went from burgundy and gold to their present burgundy-ish color back in the late 60's - early 70's. Lombardi, our coach at the time (and very near the end of his life), ordered new uniforms, but not in the same color. He was too proud to admit that he was colorblind and had ordered a different shade of red than the traditional burgundy, and ever since we've had our current colors.
Perhaps we could bring back true burgundy and gold. . . . .

I'm all for the old uniforms. I dont want anything new or cutting edge, everything nowadays has that "MTV" thing going on. I was introduced to the all burgundy helmet when playing ESPN2K5, that uniform is my favorite.

I like our uniforms and dont think we should change them, I would like to see the Redskins use the old yellow "R" helmets sometime.

Why am I not surprised!

I like the burgandy and gold uni too. But I also like the white jersey with the burgandy stripe around the shoulders that Jurgenson wore with the "feather" helmet. I wouldn't mind the team actually taking adantage of the "Alternate" uniform that the NFL allows teams to wear once or twice a tear. Wear the "feather" helmet uni one year, then the Burgandy and Gold uni, and of course the yellow helmet with the R. I don't want a permanent change though!

I like the current uni's, but we need to wear the burgundy jerseys whenever possible.

I love our uniforms. I think they are a classic. What do you guys want- one of those ridiculous "modern" looks like the Bengals or Bills. Those blow.
Keep the current jersey, we dont need to change anything.
