Burg. is our color so I guess that's why I like the all burgundy.. also like the burg pants too.
Our colors are burgundy and GOLD, not just burgundy.
BTW Packers wear yellow, not gold.
Our "yellow" isn't gold dude. Not sure where you went to school or learned colors but ours may be a darker shade of yellow but it isn't gold.
@ color blind people including YOU
Yeah, well that red really isn't burgundy either, so what's your point?
soooooooo.. my point is I don't like the yellow pants cuz it's like a bad 'bite' job off the steelers and packers.
and yes, the red jerseys were indeed red.. not sure why people called those burgundy but whatever.
I have NEVER seen us wear Red. I'm wearing a Caps shirt that is red and the Shins have never worn red. They have worn different shades of burgundy. And yes there are different shades of burgundy! Some burgundy is darker than others. Some of the burgundy the has won has come closer to red, but never reached red.
The "gold" we have worn for the past 30 years has been yellow. And since the human eye can't see yellow and many people interpret "yellow" much differently than others because our brains are trying to tell us what we are "not seeing" is yellow.

White on burgundy.
Next favorite is burgundy on gold.
A far last place finish for me is that gods awful burgundy on burgundy
Same views as mine and I voted accordingly.
Our choice is Joe Gibbs' choice: white on burgundy.
Those two:
White on burgundy, and burgundy on yellow could be our away and home inis.

WTF...?
This has had over 820 views, and only 29 people have voted!?!??!
What? Did I make it too complicated!!?!??!
I know it's not a serious issue as such, but I would have though every Redskin fan would have a preference on the teams look considering it seems to change so much without any warning.

Every time someone clicks on the thread, it counts as a view. I know I've opened it many times to read the new posts, or the latest poll numbers. And if you view your post after writing it, that's another view as well.

I like the all burgundy, or the combinations of burgundy and white (either way)
Not a big fan of the gold pants

NFL teams turning back to white jerseys
By Mark Kaboly, TRIBUNE-REVIEW
Wednesday, October 28, 2009
In the NFL, it is becoming very fashionable to wear white after Labor Day.
It used to be that dark uniform jerseys were worn at home, and white ones on the road -- except, of course, if you were the Dallas Cowboys or Washington Redskins.
No more. Through the first seven weeks of the season, 15 teams have decided to wear their white jerseys at home. Nine have done it more than once.
Through 103 games, 30 times teams have worn their whites at home rather than the traditional darks (29 percent). In those games, the white-wearing home teams are 16-14.
"I think they are doing it because of the weather in some of these cities gets hot," said Steelers long-time equipment manager Rodgers Freyvogel.
That could be true for warm-climate teams such Miami, San Diego, Tampa Bay and Houston, but how do you explain New Orleans wearing white in all three of its home games at the Superdome?
Or even Philadelphia doing it at Lincoln Financial Field in its three home games? Or Carolina doing it for two of its three home games in Charlotte?
The New York Jets, Baltimore, Cincinnati and Tennessee are not hot-weather cities and each team has worn white at home; Oakland wore its whites at night; Arizona also plays indoors and wore white once.
Still, weather does have a lot to do with the choice, considering the frequency with which it occurred in the first two weeks compared to the past five.
Teams chose to wear white jerseys 13 times during the first two weeks, when the weather is historically much warmer, but only 17 times since.
It's not by coincidence, either, when teams decide to don the white.
Teams must submit to the league by the middle of summer which uniforms they are wearing and during which weeks.
In 2004, the Ravens made the Steelers wear their black jerseys for a Week 2 game in Baltimore. Game time temperature was 67 degrees, but Baltimore knocked out starter Tommy Maddox and won the game, 30-13.
Wearing whites at home is a new phenomenon, but not a new occurrence.
Until 1957, NFL teams could wear whatever jersey they wanted -- home or away -- even if the colors were similar.
The league stepped in and proclaimed the home team had the choice of jersey to wear. Most went with dark, except for Dallas.
Dallas wore its dark jerseys at home for its first four seasons (1960-63) in the NFL, but hasn't worn the classic dark blue jersey at home since. Baltimore did make the home Cowboys wear dark shirts for Super Bowl V played at the Orange Bowl in Miami. Dallas lost, 16-13.
San Diego wore whites at home in late 1970s and early '80s under Don Coryell. Joe Gibbs was an assistant on some of those teams and brought the tradition to Washington in 1981 when he became head coach. The Redskins didn't wear dark at home from 1981-2000.
As for the Steelers, there was a time when they sported home whites.
According to Tim Brulia of Uniwatch.com, the Steelers wore their white jersey once in 1964 against the Rams and every game except three from 1966-69.
The Steelers wore white for Super Bowl XL when they were officially the home team, but the game was played at Detroit's Ford Field.
The only team never to wear white at home? The Seattle Seahawks, but they did wear fluorescent green.
A white out
More NFL teams, other than long-time traditionalists Washington and Dallas, have chosen to wear white jerseys at home lately through the first seven weeks of the season

I didn't take into account non-members viewing it, good point.
OK, breathing is back to normal, if I could just untwist the panties I'll be fine...
The wife wont want them back like this!!!

period.
By far the gold pants are superior with the burgundy jersey.
The white jersey & gold pants is kind of Ronald McDonald-esque though. I prefer the burgundy pants with the white jersey.

Apparently the folks at Uni Score agree. They ranked 4 Major Pro Sports teams by jersey. Redskins finished 62nd out of 122 teams in all sports. About average.
In the NFL, the Skins have the 17th rated uniform. With the Gold Pants version being named the best. Not that I know how they do this ranking, but it's pretty interesting to see how the league shakes out.
The top five NFL uniforms are yet to be released, but here’s Uni Watch’s Power Rankings so far:
32. Cincinnati Bengals
31. Minnesota Vikings
30. Carolina Panthers
29. Arizona Cardinals
28. Jacksonville Jaguars
27. Seattle Seahawks
26. Detroit Lions
25. Atlanta Falcons
24. Denver Broncos
23. Baltimore Ravens
22. New Orleans Saints
21. St. Louis Rams
20. Houston Texans
19. Tennessee Titans
18. New York Giants
17. Washington Redskins
16. Cleveland Browns
15. New England Patriots
14. Indianapolis Colts
13. New York Jets
12. San Diego Chargers
11. Kansas City Chiefs
10. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
9. Miami Dolphins
8. San Francisco 49ers
7. Buffalo Bills
6. Dallas Cowboys
5. Philadelphia Eagles
Who’s left: Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers, Oakland Raiders, Pittsburgh Steelers

Apparently this list had less to do with how the uniforms look and more to do with the history of the franchise or the current popualarity. How else can you explain the teams in the top five (their unis are nothing special!). How else can you explain the Browns being anything but 32ed or tied for 32 with Cinci.
The Dolphins' and Patriots' Unis are nreally bad too!
