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

[Brokenstriker]

freshen it up and start being relevant to the times ... I do think the club should stick with the established team colors burgundy and gold though as the main theme

[JeffSchmeff]

The new Nike uniforms are being revealed on 4/3. Rock from the Kevin and Rock show said yesterday that he'd seen them and that the Redskins ones are true to tradition. He said Seattle's jerseys are a big change.

DON'T MESS WITH THE UNIS!! I was watching a Celtics game and the jerseys had Boston spelled in black instead of the traditional white. I HATED IT. I'm a huge Yankees and Redskins fan.....don't change the uniforms!!!!

[SKINS'n'Spurs]

I like it just the way it is. The gold pants and burgundy top was a bad *** combo last year and I hope we stick with it.
Also, generally I would say I'm not a fan of all white on white, but watching some RGIII Baylor highlights I saw how fast he looks running in all white. So I would be down with maybe Nike working that in. I'm fine with a little change to get guys excited, but nothing major. We have a classic look that I have loved my whole life knowing the skins and don't want to end up looking like the Vikings or the Cardinals and their terrible changes.

I guess I'm getting old, but damn I hate when teams or their fans try to incorperate "black" uniforms into their color scheme. Do you really think players look over at the other team and say , "damn, they look really intimadating in their all black,"? The Falcons did that in the early 90s with Jerry Glanville. They changed from the red to black uniforms and helmets. Glanville actually wore all black in the sidelines. He even wore it when he was with the Houston Oilers. It's really stupid to think the color of a uniform is intimidating. The only team I can think of that could have pulled it off was the 1970s Oakland Raiders. They weren't intimidating because of their uniform color, they were intimidating because of their play.

Part of sports is mental. You look good, you feel good, you play well.
Example: The Bucs wearing those putrid orange uniforms and getting beaten down by everyone. They looked like a joke, they got taken behind the woodshed like a joke.

I don't like the banana pants. The white pants with the stripes look much better.

What about the Packers old retros? I think they look ugly as hell but they win regardless.

So it had nothing to do with Tony Dungy? Naw

I am just joking with you. The same could be said for the Broncos, Seattle, Bengals, Cardinals, and the Eagles. When those teams changed their jerseys, they started winning.

The Redskins are not doing any major changes to their uniforms this year. Skins uniforms will feature a different lighter more functional material and a tighter more sleek fit and cut. Seattle went all out and is breaking out a new uniform. General opinion is that the majority of NFL teams will wait until next year to make changes if they plan to do so soon. Nike came up with several designs and options for changes for every team in the league but the team decides what it wants in a uniform and has final say.

The Redskins should never change their uniform. Unless they wear a throwback. After all there are 4 helmets to choose from. So we don't need any newfangled modern look. They should always stay classic. They just need to get rid of shinny pants and wear the flat burgundy pants of old. Shinny and glittery has no place in football.

Looking good and feeling good is one thing. I was talking about the intimidation factor. The Falcons talked a big game and thought they looked tough, but they played like idiots. They eventually went back to their red unis albeit, a clownish looking jersey top.

[HogNose]

If NIKE had their way they would do what they did to the poor Broncos in 1997. Incorporating their "'Swoosh" into the uniform and making wholesale changes to each team. At least the Broncos are going back to the orange jerseys permanently this year. Anyway the last thing the Redskins need is a radical uniform change.

Bring this back and never change it again.

[shuler74]

Think they should leave it up to the players because ultimately it doesn matter what we think it matters on how the players like them..I am a firm believer if you look sharp and like it you will play sharp

You're eyesight must not be very good. If you look at the picture you linked, those are Reebok uniforms, not Nike. Try again.

Just like the Glanville "Too Legit to Quit" era.
