Let's not forget these will be the first official throwbacks we've had since Mr. Sammy Baugh's death.

But yea, probably should have went with something "cooler".

[PatFischer37]

They are the same as the 75th aniv throwbacks. The helmet should have been something gather than just plain burgundy...they wimped out when they could have taken the '56-64 feather helmet

Rg3 will sell a fewof these jerseys for them

Here's a pic in better light.

Well, love them or hate them, we'll only see them a maximum of 2 times this year, bar any shock post-season run.

So that's a whole lot of nothing for folks to be getting their panties in a twist over.

Hail.

I was hoping for a 1962 feather down the helmet and shoulder stripes style. I was thinking that Nike could have made that uniform look sick, but oh well 37 was the first time we drafted a big name Texas QB and we've got a big time Texas QB now so lets go win like they did

[HBnotBlades]

I like them. It's not like this is our uniform for the next 5 years, they're probably only going to wear them twice.

[SkinsTerps26]

That's pretty cool doing that with the helmets. I don't think anybody else has ever done that.

I hope we wear them during a rainy slug it out kind of game, because they definitely have a punch you in the mouth look and would look great with a lot of mud on them.

Jeez. You people are so annoying.

Ugly uniforms are ugly no matter what anniversary it is.

Good think Laron Landry isn't here, Laron don't like ugly.

"Its the 80th anniversary. And you want them to come out with new space age unis? What would be the point of that?"

At least they got the burgundy color right but other than the jersey I too am not overly excited about these. I think the pants could have been a little more 'gold' in color, they look washed out to me. The image someone posted earlier with Sammy Baugh showed that the pants back then looked more gold, brighter, than these.
But as far as honoring the past by just duplicating a former look I think is not very imaginative.Ford, Dodge and Chevy all managed to honor the past and at the same time update the look. Just my opinion but I would have preferred to see a matching burgundy helmet (flat color would have been unique) with a logo (30's to match the sleave, arrow or current (i like the over sized) and a more flattering gold pant.
Nike could have taken ques from the past and made a modern day classic. I think they missed the mark and a golden opportunity.

Last year's Packers' throwbacks (with the blue jerseys) also featured the brown "leather" helmets.


EDIT: Oh, SkinsTerps26, beating me to the punch while the site was slow to load...

Yeah, Chick said 2 home games on CSN.

[LadySkinsFan]

I like them. I do wish the gold pants matched the gold color of the letters for a more cohesive look. I like the faux leather helmets with the matte finish. Very unique uniform.

[NLC1054]

Yeah, Chick said 2 home games on CSN.

My best guess; RG3's first home game, and the "homecoming" game versus the Panthers on November 9th.

Looks like Kerrigan and Rak just signed with Florida State, lol

I could see us wearing them on Thanksgiving. They do have a great Thanksgiving look to them

[SkinsTerps26]

can't imagine his first game will be the alternate uniform. It'll be 2-4 and Panthers b/c thats when the celebration for the 80th season ends.
