No, would be cool, just another marketing tool to sell merch.

Re: 2013 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike Making Changes
 

Nope. Wasn't approved by the NFL as our alternate.

I'd love to see it though. They'd even look cool with our now illegal leather helmets.

Nope, they have 32 brands to protect.

Also, Rams wearing 80s royal blue and yellow throwbacks with the new navy blue helmets...hope they change the horn decals to match at least.

I guess it won't look too far off except for the metallic. Will probably look bad because of that.

I wonder what the penalty would be if a team decides to wear an alternate helmet?

Re: 2013 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike Making Changes
 

Another issue with expanding to international countries with NFL teams...specifically the Jaguars...last week when they played in London, they kept the "Jags" patch on their jerseys. Certain terms we use mean other things in other countries. :D

In England, "jags" is an offensive term to insult someone, also used as "jag-off". It's similar to their word "wanker" in meaning and it usually used in place of the American word "idiot".

Nice move, NFL.

Re: 2013 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike Making Changes
 

Great surprise yesterday.


They managed to pull it off despite the stupid helmet rule. Removing the stripes looked great!


I actually wouldn't mind them switching to this full-time with a few minor tweaks like the facemask color and logo consistency. With those flaws, it still looks great....awesome color scheme is probably to thank for that.

Glad they did this. I was certain with the new stupid helmet rule, those uniforms were dead. Nice compromise, Skins, it worked out well.



And better yet, we FINALLY WON in a throwback uniform! Maybe we'll wear them again...I'd love to see them vs. Dallas.

Re: 2013 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike Making Changes
 

I say add the new logo to the sleeves and change the facemask to a matching "old" gold and make it the new uniform!

I'd love it.

Re: 2013 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike Making Changes
 

they should keep the stripes off

Re: 2013 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike Making Changes
 

Here's my proposal for a new uniform. Made the mask and gold in helmet logo match the numbers and used the new logo on the sleeves.

Re: 2013 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike Making Changes
 

Yeah it would look better with that facemask, they would need to match up the burgundy a little better too. Up close the helmet and jersey clearly didn't match. From a distance it's not too noticeable though.

Re: 2013 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike Making Changes
 

The one helmet rule is killing the throwback stuff.

Re: 2013 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike Making Changes
 

Why on earth did they take he field with the regular helmets?
Still, found out we were wearing throwbacks before kickoff and was pleseantly surprised.

Robert doesn't wear the knee brace during warmups.
Pierre, royster and Alfred carpooled whih I thought was cool. Alfred doesn't sign pictures or portraits. Garcon doesn't seem to sign ever

A lot of it was the metallic. It really pops in the sun. Looked almost the same in the shade.

We could have switched out for the black facemasks from the leather helmets too. Chicago swapped on gray masks earlier this season for their throwback uniform.

Certainly looked a LOT better than in 1994.

Re: 2013 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike Making Changes
 

Monkey brought this up earlier, but I was thinking the same thing after the game was over... WE FINNALY WON A GAME IN A THROWBACK! I think this is the first time ever.

You guys are right with the colors being mis-matched. It almost like the helments are burgundy and the throwbacks are maroon or something.

Re: 2013 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike Making Changes
 

I loved the '94 throwbacks but yeah, the ones we wore yesterday are better.

I was worried when I saw the throwbacks too...they WERE cursed until yesterday.

Re: 2013 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike Making Changes
 

I don't know who comes up with the decision on when they wear their throwbacks, but they look sharp. Glad we could win with them. Not having the leather looking helmets kinda sucks though. They did the best they could with our modern helmets, but they are not the same. The old gold is more of a bronze than the yellow and I really like it in the numerals.

Re: 2013 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike Making Changes
 

Yeah I'd rather go with those colors as well, I like the pants. No more yellow. or gold...

I wonder what color we'll be when we go back to the BRAVES?

Re: 2013 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike Making Changes
 

It would have been cool if they changed the stickers on the helmet to match the logo on the sleeve, that might have tied it together a little better. but over all i liked it a lot especially the decision to take the stripes off the helmet.

Don't give up on the REDSKINS name just yet. I'm not. I've have enough of the PC crowd. I'm not caving.

Re: 2013 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike Making Changes
 

Yeah, that's NOT happening. Ever.

Besides, these idiots have whined about the Atlanta Braves too. I remember how their heads about exploded when the Braves and Indians both played in the '95 World Series. Ha...

Re: 2013 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike Making Changes
 

I haven’t weighed in on the subject yet, mostly because I think it’s a non issue, but in my opinion people are too hung up on labels. I can only speak from experience, growing up I was the “fat” kid amongst my friends and even though it’s not a racial slur it was still a label. After a while I owned that shit and I didn’t let it offend me. In a society where the term “Jew” and the mother of all racial epithets the “N” word are accepted as a derogatory and a endearing term why isn’t the term “Redskins” held to that regard? I’m shocked that Snyder with all his money has yet to hire a PR firm to face this issue head on, instead he puts these press clippings out there that only make matters worse than they are. The organization needs to prove the opposite, let me repeat opposite of what Hitler did for the swastika. The swastika was a symbol of prosperity for thousands of years before Hitler used as a symbol for his army and made it the most negative symbol in the world. Unfortunately in these times with all the media outlets this issue has become bigger then it has ever been and Snyder might eventually blink and change it, I certainly hope not but you never know.

Re: 2013 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike Making Changes
 

I LOVE these uniforms. Yes, there needs to be a few tweaks here and there, but otherwise I think the Redskins need to consider changing to these uniforms full time.

Re: 2013 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike Making Changes
 

[quote=FRPLG;1038483]The one helmet rule is killing the throwback stuff.[/quote]

I agree, although I'm not sure why they couldn't just cover the whole helmet with a decal. I really enjoyed the faux leather helmets they wore with the uni last year.

They'd have to add TV numbers to the shoulders to pass league approval. That rule doesn't apply to throwbacks.

That is actually one of the tweaks I was considering. Instead of the Indian head on the sleeves (which I think would be a bit overkill since the logo is on the helmet) Have a spear and feather on the sleeve with the jersey number above or below the spear.
