[quote=NM Redskin;924520]From my experience, Native Americans don't find the Redskin name offensive. For example, last month I was driving to Grants, NM, which goes through the Laguna Pueblo. I stopped for gas and a Laguna cop saw me wearing a Redskin tee and went out of his way to hold open a door for me. I thank him and he replied "Only cause your a Redskin fan" with a smile.[/quote]

That's just one Native American. Ask a group from the Sioux nation, Cheerokee nation, Apache nation, or/and Choctaw nation if the Redskin name is offensive and most of them will say that it is.

Have you determined from extensive polling of these Native American nations that that is the case? Do you have any research to back this up? To make claims like that you need to back it up.

That article points a divide between the Native American activists and the regular population. I think the answer isn't as clear cut.

when did they adopt the current one? i was looking at some marino pics and forgot that they have tweaked it since those days.

Redskins4ever made a sweeping claim about the "regular population" and the numbers in that article reference that population:

Indeed, a recent SI poll suggests that although Native American activists are virtually united in opposition to the use of Indian nicknames and mascots, the Native American population sees the issue far differently. Asked if high school and college teams should stop using Indian nicknames, 81% of Native American respondents said no. As for pro sports, 83% of Native American respondents said teams should not stop using Indian nicknames, mascots, characters and symbols. Opinion is far more divided on reservations, yet a majority (67%) there said the usage by pro teams should not cease, while 32% said it should.

[quote=SBXVII;922374]Not to be hatefull but it looks like crap. IF, and I say IF for whatever reason the team had to change their name (which I hope never happens) I'd prefer they simply pick something DC or capitalistic related and change their colors to Red, White, and Blue. The Redskins are the only team not using some form of those colors. Professional team that is. Well and DC United I guess. But soccor is not my cup of tea and don't care what color they use.[/quote]

They should use these colors with the new design. I hate the washed-out, boring pale gold. It's like the color of your grandparents' sedan.

Re: 2012 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike takes over
 

They should go back to their old blue and white uniforms. Classics.

Re: 2012 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike takes over
 

Yep, I love that look too. Too many teams in all sports are going to generic Navy Blue and pale Gold/Silver combos. Baseball is the worst, seems like half the teams in MLB have dark blue.

Then there's black for black's sake.

Anyone know if the Skins will be sporting those gold pants again this year, or was that a limited time thing?

Re: 2012 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike takes over
 

We only have the gold and the white pants this year.

For some strange reason, they discontinued the burgundy pants.

I love the return of the gold, but hate the exit of the burgundy. I'd prefer we lose the white and only have B or G pants.

I posted all of the 2012 uniform combos in post #597.

OT FG for the win. I remember because I had it on at my son's birthday party and all of the Giants and Eagles fans got to watch the Skins win.

Also Clinton Portis' last game. He was running great, then injured...forever.
