The NFL only allows you to have a home,away,and a alternate uniform. The gold pants we have been wearing are part of the 75th anniversary uniform which has been our alternate so it allowed us to use the pants like we have been. The Nike 80th anniversary unis will not have the same style of gold pants and probably wouldn't work with the normal home,away uniform. The alternate uniform may have a different style gold pants and the team likleywill wear the alternate at home this year.

During sportsnight on comcast sportsnet yesterday they were talking about the redskins and the graphic behind Julie Donaldson had the 80th anniversay logo. I hope it was not the official one because all they did was update the 75th with 80 and 1932-2012.

Still no pics? Damn, what we got another week?

The alternate uniforms will be "previewed" at an event on May 10. So, three days.

I hope they continue to exploit that and wear the gold pants. Everyone agrees they are the freshest pants in existence. The freshness cannot be rivaled.

They are definitely dope, except I think dijon-mustard yellow pants, instead of French's-mustard yellow pants, would look sick paired with a very, very dark burgundy (almost black) throwback jersey, with white numbers and gold name lettering.

Seriously. The gray facemask looks ridiculous. Gold masks would look sick on that uni though.

The 70th anniversary throwbacks are definately my favorite uniforms. I hope we go with some kind of upgraded version of those.

For the most part, I like them too. The colors particularly. The jersey is a bit too busy for me, as I'm not a fan of the stripes with the arrow, plust the large numbers on the shoulder pads. I'd just tone is down some, and that's it, so something like this:

Yep. Making it gold would make it pop.

Looking at this Redskins 80th bus picture....what are those to the left of Gibbs?

edit.....yes they are trophies. :doh: They looked strange, couldn't tell what they were at first.

Actually - as for the pants in a uniform, teams are permitted to wear "Pursuant to the official colors established for each NFL club in the League Constitution and Bylaws,
playing squads are permitted to wear only those colors or a combination of those colors for helmets, jerseys, pants, and stockings" (Section 4 article 2), and the Redskins official colors are:
"Washington Redskins - Burgandy and yellow-gold" (NFL Constitution Bylaws 19:9)

So you can still see them. No worries
