The Merged x115 Adventures Of The Fashion Police Weekly aka THE Uniform Thread

A little bit of a modern update on the uniforms wouldn't be bad but I still would like to see throwbacks.Specifically the Lombardi "R" helmets.

I always liked the burgundy Spurrier throwbacks with the Spear helmet. I'd be completely fine with that being our home uniform for a year and developing a white jersey of the same mold. I really like those helmets.

Yea those were cool too.I'd be fine with those also.

As a 20 year old Redskin fan, I associate our current uniforms with pain and despair. I want nothing more than to change our uniforms as soon as possible because the potential of this team doesn't resemble the past (if that makes any sense whatsoever)

Totally understand your pain. I am lucky at my age to have enjoyed all the Super Bowl Champion seasons but this period of exile is very disheartening. I am not superstitious by any means but I know some folks attribute this horrific run to karma and the team name, I dismiss that and attribute it to a poorly run front office, but I think the ship is in the process of being righted and by the time you are blowing out the candles on your 30th, you will have some far better memories.

Yeah, I hope Nike doesn't go all Oregon Ducks style with the NFL. I don't mind a change, but my preference is more 60's throwback with a few modern touches. Like the picture I posted in post 4263. It's classic, simple and sharp.

Allegedly, the Seahawks will be the Ducks of the NFL. (In terms of crazy uniforms), and the Panthers will be getting a complete overhaul. I don't have any inside sources, but I've read what people who allegedly do, have put. Take all the uniform news with a grain of salt.

And yes, the team has final say in accepting a new look given to them by Nike.

EDIT! "@DarrenRovell on Twitter. "Hearing Nike won't make wholesale changes of NFL uniforms in 1st year of its deal next year. More about material, will make some team tweaks."

Looks like that stuff might come 2013 then.

The NFL isn't going to allow Nike to go all crazy on any team. The NFL is all about brand awareness and continuity. That's why (with the exception of a throwback alternate) teams can only wear one helmet design. The NFL also only allows uni changes once every 5 years.

My only hope for us is that we make the stripes on the gold pants consistent with the other pants. Maybe ditch the white pants all together? And please, NO BLACK JERSEY!!

I feel like i was the only one who liked the red on red uni's. We should try those out again

[LadySkinsFan]

I loved the uniform in post #4277 on Jurgenson. A true burgundy and gold and I liked the arrow on the helmet.

Why all the hate for white pants??

Nothing is wrong with those. It gives a nice clean look.

But nothing beats the 70th Anniversary jerseys.

[Hitman21ST]

Maybe it's just me, but I would like to see the spear decal back on the helmets.

I could not agree more! I think it is time to bring a fresh new start and changing the uniforms would be good idea. I watched Redskins Nation yesterday and a fan was talking about the team wearing all black uniforms and helment with burgandy and gold stripes. They also talked about the fans wearing all black. Maybe I am the only one but I think this would be fun for the team and fans. Fans need to stop talking about the Redskins history and focus on building something for the future and maybe the team could start winning again.

I think a "BLACKOUT" would show how dedicated the fanbase is in D.C. We still attend games despite losing, therefore we have never experienced a coverage blackout, so lets bring one to FEDEX!

HAIL!

the teams actually colors should never just be used as a highlight to some other color.

Having any black in the uniform would remind me too much of the zorn era...yellow, black, and red? No thanks

[Diesel Hog]

Black uniforms would be awful I think. I really hope the team doesn't ever, ever, ever ever ever try that.

The all burgundy was pretty bad too. I'm not a fan of "all" looks. Like when Denver wears all navy blue, or Seattle's unis, etc...The worst though are the Saints and Ravens when they wear all black. The lack of stripes on the pants, makes them look like a bunch of ballerinas prancing around in their leotards.

The white pants aren't horrible, but the team's colors are Burgundy and Gold, not Burgundy and White. I'd be for dropping the white pants all together as well. I think the gold look is far better, both for home jerseys, and away.

That is exactly what my wife and I said last week. The Ravens & Saints look ridiculous in those black pants. All they need are some leg warmers and they would look like Jane Fonda in one of her old 80's videos.

The all one color uniform trend is something teams need to stop.

This should be a perm throwback

Sleeve stripes, numbers without outlines.

I would love to see this as the permanent home uniform. I love the jersey numbers...everything looks clean and uncluttered and the Gulden mustard gold color is what I want to see again.
