You may want to get the Skins Retro Jersey. The sucker is sweeeeett.

I don't buy current player jerseys only b/c it's their death wish. I own Thrash, Arrington, T Jacobs, etc.

Taylor for division games and Orakpo for all others.

I am going to the game in Seattle. Flying on Saturday and taking the red eye back to Philly on Sunday, I will be at my desk by 10 am. Not sure what jersey to wear - I have D. Green, D. Manley, S. Taylor and L. Landry. I am thinking LL since I don't feel like I need to live in the past with this team. Thoughts?

old school jerseys

redskins.com are sold out of his jersey

The throwbacks are really sweet. Unfortunately, the one I have is Rod Gardner. Yes. Rod. Gardner. My favorite jersey, however is my away D. Williams Jersey. My favorite redskin (well, actually a tie between him, Art Monk and Jim Lachey) then D. Green.

What do you consider an "away" jersey? In the NFL the home team gets to pick their jersey color, so there is no set home or away variety. We may wear burgundy one game and white the next.

I think you know exactly what I meant, however I will clear it up for you.

Away as in burgundy. Home as in home whites.

Haven't we been wearing the burgundy with the gold pants last year/this year at home?

No, I had no clue. Like I said, there is no home and away jersey in the NFL. This isn't baseball.

I once had this couch, it was a leather couch. When my friend came over I told him about my leather couch but he said it was a brown leather couch not a leather couch. My friend is very smart, smarter than me and always lets me know how much smarter he is than me.

I don't know what your couch has to do with anything, but I've seen the Skins wear burgundy jerseys at home plenty of times. I've also seen them wear white jerseys on the road. Some teams (Pittsburgh) always wear their dark jerseys at home. Others (the Cowpies) always wear their whites at home.

If you wore a Carlos Rodgers jersey they'd love you.

I've seen them wear those jerseys too.

It was a really nice couch, you would have probably liked it. It had the recliner seats that open with ease. I already sold it though, I wish I'd had known earlier I would have let you know. If I find the same brown leather couch I will give you the link. Thanks for showing interest in the couch. On the way to check my mail today in my golf cart I saw a roadrunner, I didn't have my car or I would have clocked him. He was fast, too fast for my golf cart.

Don't know who knew what but ... while it is true that we've worn both dark and light both home and away, whites are traditionally home in most sports. I was sure this is what the original post meant. Then I found this interesting article:


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
