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

[hawgboy]

I think an alternate would be fun to bust out 1-3 times a season, but scratch the black... I've seen some mock ups of a "mustard" jersey that actually looked better than I could have imagined.....then again I like the "mustard" pants. I notced the organizaion tended to shy away from them from midseason on and that bums me out.

I'll go first...

Absolutely. I am a huge traditionalist, but when I saw those black uniforms (I know they aren't real... at least not yet) I got so excited. Let's keep the same model, but modernize it a little bit.

That'll pump up the players as well.

That said, I don't want them to go overboard like Maryland or Oregon has.

Black isn't one of the Redskins colors. Pass.

This kicks arse!

Good topic, but shouldn't we be discussing it in our epic merged x116 Fashion police thread?

I completely agree, and you hit what was going to be my point. DON'T GO OVERBOARD! As trivial of a change as it may be, in sports we have seen time and time again that changing the uniform can go far in creating a new mindset or "culture" in an organization. I am a traditionalist as well but some changes are good. For instance, I love the current logo on the helmet where the feathers hang straight down and I hate the old one where the feathers unnaturally curve around. This is the kind of small "tweaks" I am talking about.

We have not had a franchise quarterback in forever, and finally it looks like we have the kind of guy that can spearhead a true culture change for the organization. I say lets shake off the bad mo-jo from top to bottom with a new, or alternative uniform to help mark the start of a new era for the team.

The key to this sort of thing is to not go crazy with it like the aforementioned Oregon Ducks. The Skin's don't need a new carbon fiber, hologram, 3d, virtual reality helmet for each day of the week! Something that marks the start of the new era while still trumpeting the history of our proud franchise.

No matter what happens to the uniform, I can't wait to see RG3 in it absolutely DESTROYING the NFC EAST for the next decade plus! HTTR!

I hate these nike uniforms. They are alright in college but they typically look awful. Especially hate the all black uniforms.

Tell me this wouldn't have you running through the nearest wall...

Do you mean running through a wall in anger because they changed the uniform to that horrible abomination?

[SoCalSkinsFan1975]

@CliffBattles: I usually hate new uniform mock-ups, but I must admit I think these look pretty cool!

[Dana87]

I'd still like to see the logo itself updated. Not changed name-wise, just "modernized" if that's the right word.

Something like:

I suck at the photoshop whatever and had to do it with Paint, so please ignore the rough look of it.
(I take no credit for the face logo, I just wanted to try and get my idea of "updated" across).

Is this the concept your looking for? Like you I used an native american head that I found on line

Outstanding! This was exactly what I was unable to produce... Well done!!!

[kevinklein]

I say no. The Washington franchise is a staple of tradition. Bringing back old uniforms is one thing. In fact, I've liked them all. But to create something entirely new at this point...I think that would be close to blasphemy.

It's now RG3's time to refresh the franchise...not the laundry he wears.

if we were to change our logo to that, I'd be ecstatic. But lets change a little bit of our uniform as well

[Buford]

If they were going to make any long-term changes to the Chief Joseph helmets it wouldn't be to put a different Native American logo on there.

Vomit! No thanks. I can't stand the Oregon Ducks Unis and that's just as bad.

[Botched]

The Bucs, Pats, and Broncos changes were nice, because their older unis all had cartoonish and/or homosexual cartoon characters on them. We have a dignified-looking Native American on ours. It looks classy and respectable. We shouldn't change it just for the sake of change.

I remember when the Bullets and Capitals changed their unis in the 90s. It was exciting for about 5 minutes, and then they were awful to look at and I couldn't wait for the new look to go away. I think a new Skins uni would be the same.
