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

[RansomthePasserby]

That was a Vinny era uniform. That team no longer exists with the exception of Moss, Cooley and Alexander. I never cared for them as they look like practice uniforms....

I don't really associate uniforms with people, so the fact that Vinny happened to be here when we wore white on white doesn't bother me.

I never cared for them as they look like practice uniforms. Burgundy and Gold are our primary colors. I want to see us represent those colors on the uniform somewhere as the primary color.

Fair enough.

RG3 would look hella clean dusting fools in all white... just sayin

Truth.

The more I think about it, the more I think we'll be white on white this Sunday.

Time for the throwbacks!

I hardly ever post stuff from BR, but this is pretty good:

Unveiled earlier this year, the Washington Redskins will finally wear their 80th anniversary throwback uniforms in Week 9 against the Carolina Panthers.

The uniforms are designed as a modernization of the team's 1937 uniforms, which was the year the Redskins moved from Boston to Washington, D.C.

They will also be worn in accordance with the franchise's "homecoming" celebration, where old players and coaches come back to FedEx Field to be honored.

Nonetheless, as we have seen in recent years, the unveiling of a throwback jersey oftentimes leads to widespread polarization of opinion. For every powder-blue San Diego Chargers look, there is, well, whatever the Pittsburgh Steelers wore last week.

How do these throwbacks grade out? Here is a look at a complete breakdown of the Redskins' 80th anniversary uniforms.

Helmet: 8/10

I love 'em. So do a lot of other people it seems.

PFT also has an article on this which calls them "one of the best throwback ensembles": http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...cks-on-sunday/

White on white started in the 03 season opener against the Jets if I remember correctly

Great game and good energy at FedEx that night. My wife had to get John Hall's autograph after the win. I think it was one of the first Thursday night openers.

Love the "leather" helmets.....I need to get a mini helmet to add to my collection.

[TD_washingtonredskins]

I'm excited for these and hope they somehow catch on as our alternative uniforms for a while. I got the RG3 replica throwback and love wearing it every Sunday!

Uniporm for you...

Here are this week's throwbacks, made to look (somewhat) like the 1937 uniforms with leather helmets:







The helmets are patterned to look like the leather helmets from the era:



(Note: The red shoe at the bottom of this photo is not part of the uniform.

Notice that there are no shoulder or sleeve numbers. I know NFL rules require one or the other, but I guess in this case, you don't have to have them.

[Sizzla3000]

I have seen a replica of the helmet at the Redskins store. They are awesome. I really wish I was a baller. Those things retail for like 700 bucks.

[Spearfeather]

When the 80th Anniversary uniforms were first unveiled. the two things that jumped out at me, were the pants and of course the helmets. I thought, yeah, the 1937 helmets were leather but they were also gold.




I thought: Why didn't they just use gold? But, if they wanted to emphasize the " old school " look, I think it makes more sense to use the natural brown leather coloring, so you know THIS IS LEATHER.

Then, that shade of gold for the pants?. Why that? Why not use the gold that they actually wore with the 1937 uniforms, that were the inspiration for the " 80th ", ( although there are subtle differences between these and the 1994 throwbacks. With the '94 throwbacks, both logo patches faced forward. The 1937 and and our " 80th " have both patches facing to the right ). After looking at our uniforms from our earliest years ( '32, '33, '34, '35 ), the pants actually make sense, as it looks like a nod to the years when the franchise was in Boston.


1932 1933

1934 1935

In 1936, they went to this:



before coming to Washington the following year.


And if your wondering about the colors of the Braves in 1932, there's this short thread from five years ago:http://www.extremeskins.com/showthre...-quot-!!/page2

Colorwerx list the 1932 Braves as: Blue, gold, and white.

The 1930 Newark Tornadoes as: Navy, orange, and white.



Looking forward to seeing these in person on Sunday, along with a decisive beatdown of the Panthers,

[RG3toMonk]

Burgundy/Gold-yellow pants, Burgundy & white, or white on white? Or the throwbacks? Just your guesses.

[sideshow24]

Which uniform is it that makes our defense look invisible? I bet they wear that one.

[Rypien1191]

We could wear the Fox robot uniform and it wouldn't help our defense.

[HOF44]

Burgundy jerseys with gold pants is my guess.

[Fat Stupid Loser]

We will never win with yellow pants. They are emasculating. DHall over compensates, gets abused by average receivers, threatens middle aged men. Game over.

[DM72]

I would love for this team to go back to the tradition of wearing white shirts and burgundy pants at home and only wearing burgundy shirts and white pants on occassion. They can throw the gold pants in the trash.
