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

[Portis for 6]

So you're saying White on Gold for road games and White on Burgundy for home games? I like both of those combos, but I'd miss the burgundy jersey. I like that the team made the switch to wear it at home. The one home game where I'd like to see White on Burgundy though is Dallas. Every other home game, I'd like to see Burgundy Jerseys with Gold Pants.

For road games, I'd like an even split...4 games with White on Burgundy, 4 games with White on Gold.

No, just saying keep the burgundy pants/white top at home and just use the gold pants and burgundy or white top for away games. Only a few teams wear white jerseys at home and I liked the fact we where one of them. Which is why we wear white tops so often when the burgundy and white top was our home uniform. Not to mention the white on burgundy is just a classy look.

Loved the White on Gold.
Love the Burgundy on Gold.

Gold pants should be the default uni regardless IMHO.

Its a shame they dropped the burgundy pants and kept the white pants, but hopefully they will be back next year. Atleast we dont wear white at home anymore so we only have to deal with those stupid collars for 7 games in the regular season.

Hated the black shoes w the gold and white unis. Everyone but Trent must be color blind.

IIRC most of the teams in the league wear black shoes now. If you're talking about shoes that feature more of a color scheme, then I'm with you. Solid black looks depressing. In the pic where we first debuted the new design, it looked like we were wearing multi-colored cleats. It could be a repeat of '06, where we went with white shoes all throughout, then unveiled the black/white, black/gold cleats on MNF. But yeah, I think a solid white color scheme with burgundy would look vicious, especially with the Away uni.

Rant (sorry if this has been covered):

This isn't particular to just the Skins jerseys (just those teams with numbers on the shoulders -- e.g. note that the Bills only have stripes sans numbers), why does Nike insist on jamming the logo in so close:

Why don't they just turn the entire jersey into one big swoosh and get it over with?

Well said. Gold pants FTW.

Reebok had their logo in the same exact location. These companies pay a fortune to have the rights to the jerseys. Football is a business first and foremost.

I'm glad for a uniform change. Its not like the Skins didnt suck for the last 20 years or anything. The collar is cool. I like it better than the old collar. Nike is known for the college jerseys so I expected a change in the jersey that was subtle yet more of a college feel. I dont really care if they wear yellow or red pants as long as they win..

Like I said above...Burgundy Jerseys / Gold Pants for 7 home games. Against Dallas, White on Burgundy.

For the 8 road games, split between white on burgundy and white on gold (except for at Dallas where we'd have to use the Burgundy jerseys).

Playing them on Thanksgiving this year, I've seen the Cowboys go to a blue throwback jersey, so maybe we wear white in Dallass. I'm glad we don't wear white at home anymore. That was a Gibbs thing to make the Cowboys wear their blue in RFK because they hated it. Eagles started doing the same thing as did the Cardinals. Only the Giants wouldn't give up their blue at home. I like going to the Burgundy at home. I'd like the gold to be our all around pants and have only the burgundy pants as a backup with the white jerseys.

Oh and when's the last time Nike "didn't" **** anything up with their jersey designs?

[PatFischer37]

I know its only preseason but the throwbacks for the skins vs bears should definetely be used this week

[MattFancy]

Everyone needs to get over the collars and blaming it on Nike. The teams have the final say on all this jersey related. Want proof? Look at the Packers collars on their Nike jerseys:



Looks the same as it always has.

I second MattFancy here. Each team chose the jersey design elements, including the collar. The burgundy jerseys have a solid collar all around and the white jersey collars are slightly different. If we kept the same uniform designs, as a handful of teams chose to, then some of you would have something to say about that. At the end of the day, it's a decision made by the team I love and I'll choose not to complain about it. I've been through worse (Haynesworth, McNabb). Hail!

Was it just me or did the white jersey we as the other week at the Civic Center look better then the ones they wore in game? Looked like the shoulder pads really made that collar look a lot different.

I wish we'd wear white-toed, green cleats, so that every sideline catch looks like it was in-bounds.
