I think it is the "other way" around as we started in 1932 and BC started in 1892.[/quote]

I think you are correct. Plus let's not forget that back (wayyyy back in the days) college football was a bigger deal than pro football.

[quote=Chico23231;916610]That picture is beyond cool. be great to have that framed in a man cave or my computer room. [B]Love the dog in front[/B][/quote]

Cool story about the dog. He belonged to Turk Edwards (No. 17) and his name was "Brick". He was considered a good luck charm b/c of something that happened in the first game of the Championship Season.

[quote]Before their first game (home against the Giants), Brick got into the [Redskins] locker room and stole the pants of back-up tail back, Max Krause (No. 25), from his locker while the players were getting ready for the game. Krause (who didn't particularly like the dog) tried to get his pants back. Brick growled at Krause, lunged at him and then chased Krause around the locker room (Imagine a football locker room in the 30's and you can imagine just how amused the rest of the team was by this). Edwards eventually got Brick under control and much laughter ensued. At game time, Krause had to wear the torn pants because, back in the day, George Preston Marshall didn't splurge for extras.

Krause had played for the Giants for the previous four years and was a pretty run of the mill player. Well, on the first play of the game Cliff Battle loses his shoe and comes out to fix it. Krause goes in and breaks a long run, going 65 yards for a touchdown (his only one of the year it turns out). As Krause is running down the sideline, Battle shouts out "Hey look, Maxie thinks Brick is still chasing him!" - cementing the team's adoption of Brick as the mascot for the year. From then on, Brick went on every road trip and got into every locker room. No one knows, however, if Krause got new pants.[/quote]

1893 actually. Here's the original roster from 1893 and they're clearly wearing black and white uniforms here. ;)

Helmet shots from the producer, HGI. If you go back to the gold Jags helmet in the beginning of the thread, it's the same company. They also designed the Seahawk's new helmets, those REALLY shiny gold helmets that Notre Dame wore last season along with Oregon's carbon fiber and those crazy mirrored black chrome for the Bowl game and Ohio State's camouflage helmets.

That picture is 1893 but the team started in 1892, I had season tickets that year I should know.

Re: 2012 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike takes over
 

Whether you like the alternate uni or not I think everyone has to agree it could have been worse and thankfully not as bad as say the Steelers. So because of that I like them. Yes the helmet is different but the alternate uni is supposed to be from a time in which they used leather helmets and they were brown so this is just meant to give respect to those times.

However I'd love for them to keep the pants. Thats the Gold I'm looking for, not the yellow we have now, and I like the darker burgundy vs. the lighter burgundy we use now.

Re: 2012 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike takes over
 

I understand people don't want to look like some other team. Some just dispise BC or FSU, thats ok. So since we are not going to be able to get everyone to decide on the team actually using the colors they started with or colors according to their team colors are supposed to be then to satisfy the fans who hate and dispise change....

I'll settle for DS making a public announcement that he is changing the team colors to Indian Red and Yellow. Then no one can argue that the team is not wearing their team colors, and those fans who hate change can be happy they get to keep their non BC/FSU, original colors.

Re: 2012 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike takes over
 

[quote=BleedBurgundy;916507]for those bitching about the color scheme and its similarity to BC and FSU...what do you want? [/quote]

They'd prefer to look like Southern California (Trojans), or Arisona State, Central Michigan University, Ferris State University, University of Minnesota.

Texas State University
Bridgwater College

The throwback uniform that Brian Orakpo and Ryan Kerrigan modeled the other day resemble the Boston College Eagles football team's jersey so much. Has anyone else made this observation?

Re: 2012 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike takes over
 

So I've read we will only wear the alternate uni's for 2 games so I'm thinking at least one game will probably be Thanksgiving day. I'd presume the other would be a prime time game also if we have another one.

Re: 2012 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike takes over
 

The closeups allow you to appreciate the helmet so much more than just looking at it from afar. At first I wasn't a fan of the color of them, but seeing the closeups and how they were to resemble the old leather caps, I like it. HGI did great work on this along with Nike on the uniforms. Can we just stick with these for the whole year?..lol

I agree, awesome helmets. Very unique. I bet they become a best seller as far as alternate or retro uniforms go for the franchise. (Especiallly since its you know whos first year aas well)

Yep. Those are from the 2010 season. Apparently they aren't wearing a throwback this season.

But it's still bad.

Re: 2012 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike takes over
 

Hands down, the best throwbacks out there belong to the Detroit Lions.

Yeah, if people would just take a moment to use their brains they'd realize that there are not a whole lot of Indian symbols to be used on a helmet....

Indian Head
Arrow
Hatchet
Spear
Indian Shield
Teepee

So I guess what I'm saying is no matter what we use I'm betting some other team has it as well and everyone would be saying ...."we are copying them" or "I don't want to be like them."

I say who cares about them. I liked the "R" scripted helemt, I liked the "Arrow" helmet, I like the "Indian Head" helmet. You don't want to be FSU or BC then lets change the colors up a little. But again who cares about the colleges.

I loce the creamsicle uniforms, they should return full time.


I also love the Pat Patriot uniforms. Maybe I'm biased because my high school used uniforms identical to these, but I think they're SO much better than the ugly new Flying Elvis look. The white helmets and red jerseys look far better than the dull silver and boring navy blue jerseys.
