That helmet looks great. Kudos to Nike, I can't wait to see them playing in these and I'm thinking about getting one of those jerseys for my next jersey purchase.

[quote=Redskins8588;916459]They look like Boston college uniforms[/quote]

exactly what I thought, a bit darker red, but totally BC.

Those might not look so bad if they added a big feather on the helmet, with a helmet or a spear with feathers on the shoulder pads instead of the indian head logo. I dunno, it looks sort of outdated, but I guess that is all in the spirit of a throwback.

Having said that, I would like the skins to take just a slight tip toe into the 21st century and give us an updated logo or design. I feel that since we aren't a winning franchise, and havent won anything in over twenty years, maybe its time for a new logo and a sleeker updated design. Now would be as good of a time as any. New coach (kinda), younger defense, and a brand new stud QB. Put that together with the skyrocketing optimism surrounding our team right now, i feel that if it were a well thought out, bad ass design that everyone would get behind it. Plus, I read somewhere that every time a new jersey or team logo is introduced or "revamped", that profits of jersey and team memorabilia go up an average of 24% versus the average of the previous 2 years. Might be something to think about moving forward with our blossoming franchise.

*** One thing though, just dont let Jay Z or any local area "rapper" come up with the design.

Re: 2012 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike takes over
 

I like them the for "throw back uniform" If they made them into our regular uniform I'd want them do something different for the helmet....

Just to be totally clear, I am not "bitching" about the similarity to BC, I was just saying that is what it reminded me of, not that its a bad thing. I like the details in the helmet, and on the sleeve of the jersey, and the logo that is sewn in the collar of the jersey...

Its different, I do like it, but some have a hard time with change... & its only the throw back uniforms not there every day uniform...

That's the #1 Thing I want to get rid of. It's tacky, dated, and looks cheap in comparison to modern uniforms. I'd like it in a retro alternate uniform we wore every now and then, but I'm pretty tired of it. It hasn't held up well over time.

Given that some enemy fans call us the Foreskins, the Pinkskins look is probably a bad idea. :)

Re: 2012 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike takes over
 

Not a uni geek at all and usually I am just forget the BS and go tradiotnal. I do like the all Burgundy look now and again.

But these MFers our outstanding! I genuinely love them. They are literally the first throwback that doesn't look like crap. And the helmet makes them simply awesome. Good job to Nike and Bruce on these.

Love love love that helmet!

Re: 2012 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike takes over
 

I really like these throwbacks. I also agree that a updated logo would be very welcomed.

Black facemask for the black fans.

I'm really digging these, one of the classier throwbacks out there.

I think they are cool, could have been allot worse. I am disappointed in the 80th anniversary logo though, they took the easy rote and just modified the 75th, laziness if you ask me.

Re: 2012 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike takes over
 

LOVE the helmets. I'm impressed. Are they leather-wrapped or is that just an incredible graphics job?


Good job, Nike, no black...all class.

I may just have to spring for one of these with GRIFFIN III on the back though. I love them.

Is that true, did the Redskins have that before Boston College?

Either way, the fact that they both were in Boston at one point probably has something to do with those colors.

And again, I love the helmets! It's just what my buddies were joking about a couple of weeks back, a leather helmet look. Didn't necessarily think it would happen. Glad it did

[quote=JoeRedskin;916586]Hey, I'm white and I like the black facemask also. ;)[/quote]

Same here. I'm glad they did not follow the popular trend and throw a gray mask on. The leather helmet needs the least-visible facemask possible since they played without them back then, so black works the best.

Still $250.00! The custom and RGIII are $300.00 so I think it's more of a case of those other jerseys just having higher prices because they can get away with it.

On the lower-level jerseys, Cooley is the same price as everyone else.

They'd never discount a player jersey while still on the roster; they wait until he's gone.

Nothing to worry about.

Well since last season all signs point to him no longer being the starting TE, so I would imagine that's the reason why.

I was only suggesting because it was the team store, not NFLShop.com. I would imagine the team store might have a bit more insight given Danny's love of money... still, like the artist formerly known as Buster said, odds are it's a product of the high demand for customized and RGIII jerseys.

Re: 2012 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike takes over
 

Since we were located in Boston before we moved to D.C. do you believe that BC used that same color scheme to compliment the pro team or could it have been the other way around?

Interesting side topic.

BTW love the new alternate unis. I also think the helmet is sick as it is something new and different.
