Wow those look awesome! Did you do that yourself?

You did see on the last page that we aren't getting new unis, right?

No new jerseys in the offing as far as I've heard. Not saying that it couldn't happen, but I've asked around and people have convincingly told me that it's not happening.

And I'm pretty sure that what the original poster heard on Redskins Nation was just Larry responding to a fan question about the POSSIBILITY of new jerseys.

Thanks for the clarification Matt.

Like some others said, very cool that you're on ES.

Good I like our uni's.

I agree.

Pretty much...Cleveland added the very ugly Brown pants recently, but other than that, pretty much the same.

What time frame are we talking about, because Green Bay has changed its colors:

They stared out in the league with yellow and blue jerseys, and didn't actually get uniform numbers until the 1925 season. During the early years they were always changing the uniform design, and it has become difficult to find any photographs of the early jerseys. The Green Bay Packers started wearing the color green in place of blue for the 1935 season; the blue uniform would slowly fade away by the mid 1950's. In 1950, the home jerseys were a bright green with gold lettering. They wore shiny green pants with a gold stripe. At this point there were still a lot of changes in the uniform, and it did not seem so uniform.

In 1959, new head coach Vince Lombardi introduced the plain style jerseys that we are familiar with today. The tradition[al] dark green home jersey was here to stay. In 1961 the first and only helmet logo was introduced to the organization. Since then only small modifications and different patches have been worn. http://www.nfluniformhistory.com/packers.html

The original lyrics for 'Go, You Packers, Go', the oldest fight song in the NFL (but just try to find one cheesehead who can sing it; I never have) said 'On, you blue and gold, to glory'

I think the NFL's approval process requires a year and a half of notice of a uni change, so it couldn't happen this year anyway.

Yeah, I made those from that template on that one guys site. I worked on these for a little while this morning and then posted them only to find out we aren't getting new ones.

Well I still like the ones you made lol

Im with you there Im not a fan of the spear. I prefer the current logo

Why not both? Having an alternate choice is always better than none. I personally think the spear is better but that's just my opinion. Why can't the team use any style/throwback with any helmet at any moment as long as it matches? Maybe put the logo on the sleeves if the spear is used on the helmets? OR the current color scheme on the 70th unis?

Bummer about not getting new uniforms...I do like what we have, but I'm just sick of them...For many of you, me too to an extent, they symbolize the "glory years". However, only about 15 of those were good. The other 15 years in that uniform have been marred by mediocrity and crap, with the occasional slightly better than average seasons (1999, 2005, 2007 - and that was marred b/c of what happened to 21).

Personally I think it's time for something new. Even if that "new" means bringing back the Throwback look. I think the simplest thing the Redskins can do to change, is just bring back the Gold Pants. For home games, wear Burgundy Jerseys / Gold Pants, for Away games, wear White Jerseys / Burgundy Pants. And sure, now and then mix it up....White Jersey / Gold Pants or All Burgundy and or 70th and 75th anniversary unis.

Nothing crazy has to happen...we can just have an updated look of the true classic look of the Redskins. The best bet would be to basically copy the George Allen era look, but add Burgundy pants as on option (this means Grey facemask as well).

Cooley just told me in the chat something about getting black uniforms.

[Assassin 21]

I really hope we bring these out at least a couple times soon

[MustangSteve]

I'm probably alone on this.....I like the Skins uni's just the way they are. All ive known is what we have...we won our 3 SB's wearing what we have now. Why change?

Agree!!!

[Fischer fan]

I kinda hope we do. It's not that I don't like the current look. I love it, it's classic. But this team needs to build a new identity and anything that we can change to help facilitate that, I'm all for. I know it's cosmetic and silly, but if it helps...

Classic?

I don't think so... unless you are talking about the uniforms from 1937.

[Fischer fan]

Just leave the uniforms alone. And wear white jerseys at home. The Redskins should be a franchise like the Packers, Bears, etc., sticking with the traditional look. Nothing we can do about them wearing alternate jerseys, etc., for some reason the NFL has decided they are good money makers & maybe they are, but I hate most of the alternative uniforms. The identity of the team is lost.

Traditional?

Do you not realize that the Skins have had uni changes since the late 1930's. How can you call the current uni scheme traditional?
