Ok, any news on the Uniforms yet? All the news pundits and fans need to hound Allen next time at the park asking what will the uni's look like.

Gold pants first game at least, take it to the bank.

Re: Bruce Allen on McNabb extension, Haynesworth and uniforms
 

I would like to see a uniform of burgundy jerseys and gold pants. I also like the white jersey and burgundy pants from the Super Bowl Era.

I prefer a classic look to some of the modern uniform designs.

I don't care much for the yellow pants from the 70's, but the gold from a few years ago would look good.

I always liked watching the Skins in Burgundy & Gold as a kid.

I don't ever care to see a monochromatic uni again.

But really, I just want to see the Skins win!

You are correct - he has been to more pro bowls than many other Redskins - he just wasn't press friendly.

He actually belongs way before several of the guys who recently got in.

They will have to do some serious striping cause I don't like the Burgundy top and Gold pants look. Maybe if they switched it up though.... like a Gold shirt with Burgundy numbers with white trim and Burgundy pants with Gold and white trim. I'd also like to see them use the arrow helmet they used while with Spurrier and the "R" helmet. I'd also change the colors up on those as well....

On the "R" helmet I'd make it Burgundy with a Gold "R". On the arrow I'd use a Gold helmet with a Burgundy arrow. Plus I'd get away from the yellow color.

Yeah, that '65-'69 uniform is perhaps our best ever.

Would be cool to see the feather helmet come back for even one game.

I like the all white Redskin uniforms. I actually like the thought of an all white Skins uni' incorporating the arrow. It would look absolutely slick.

I HATE the solid white. Did from the first time they wore them.

Re: Bruce Allen on McNabb extension, Haynesworth and uniforms
 

I'm really torn on the uniform issue. Sometimes I'd like to see something new, other times I'd just like to stay with what they wore in the 80's and 90's. Never have been a big fan of the retro 70's uniforms, though.

I am glad we've seen more of the burgundy jerseys/white pants in recent years. There would be some seasons (1991) where you'd see that only once at Dallas.

[quote=Buster;715301]I HATE the solid white. Did from the first time they wore them.[/quote]

I'm with you. Who gets intimidated by guys wearing all white? With a little pink trim those uniforms would be downright girlie.

Re: Bruce Allen on McNabb extension, Haynesworth and uniforms
 

i think our standard helmets and burgundy jerseys would look great with solid gold pants instead of the standard white pants. i think solid burgundy socks would look really good with this setup. add solid white shoes and that just tops it off for me.

they should have also done colored jerseys when they did our “R” throwbacks (instead of only white). i hope they consider doing that in the future.

not a fan of the all burgundy uniforms but i don’t mind the all white ones.

Re: Bruce Allen on McNabb extension, Haynesworth and uniforms
 

I like the all burgundy...always wondered what it would look like but never thought I'd see it. It's not boring and is a novelty, unlike the bland all-white.


If we go with gold pants, it's going to have to match the gold on the helmets and jerseys or it will look like crap together. I wouldn't be opposed to changing the yellow-gold to a real gold like we used in the 70th throwbacks to accommodate the pants.

This is confusing because we had the report that there were some GOLD GOLD pants on Allen's desk. We can't use them with the current color scheme and look good...so could we be shifting back to the old color scheme? I wouldn't be opposed to it.

Here's what I'd do:

Re: Bruce Allen on McNabb extension, Haynesworth and uniforms
 

I don't like plain. stripe-less pants for NFL teams...make them look collegiate or less.

A big design thing to me is consistency with striping throughout the uniform. The Skins do it right, look at the sleeve and pant striping.

An example of a team that does it wrong is Dallas. None of the stripes or even colors match the other parts of the uniform, it's like they were designed by different people instead of together as a set. The Giants do the inconsistent striping too. These teams take the uniformity out of the uniforms.

Re: Bruce Allen on McNabb extension, Haynesworth and uniforms
 

i agree with you there buster. dallas' colors don't even match. if i had to go w stripes, i'd def go w the ones you displayed (nothing like that new age garbage the vikings, jaguars, etc. use)

how do you feel about the solid burgundy socks?

Re: Bruce Allen on McNabb extension, Haynesworth and uniforms
 

Solid socks are fine, I didn't touch the socks other than changing the gold shade on the striped ones.

Could be 2011. Who knows:
[quote] [B]Redskins alumni will help decide team's uniforms[/B]


Bruce Allen and ESPN 980's Kevin Sheehan combined to [URL="http://voices.washingtonpost.com/dcsportsbog/2010/05/redskins_moving_toward_gold_pa.html"]create quite a furor[/URL] a few months ago when they discussed the Redskins possibly wearing gold pants and burgundy tops at home games in 2010. The team soon started selling a t-shirt [URL="http://blog.redskins.com/2010/06/09/revamped-redskins-hall-of-fame-store-is-open-for-business/"]featuring gold pants[/URL]. The speculation was off and running.

So when Sheehan had Allen on the radio again Wednesday morning, he returned to the topic, asking Allen about that previous hint.

"You took it as a hint, you understood it a certain way," Allen said with good humor. "I said we're very proud of our team colors of burgundy and gold, and we will be wearing our Redskins uniforms. You took that to mean something, and then I got 400 e-mails myself on that. We're gonna discuss our uniforms with our alumni later, after the preseason, and we'll see what we wear. We will be wearing our team colors, I promise you. Our jerseys have burgundy and gold, they're special colors, [and] we'll see what happens."

Allen said the Redskins would not have an alternate uniform this season. He declined to say whether the team would wear dark or white colors at home. He said the team's helmets would stay the same. And he said he liked the fact that so many people were fascinated by this issue.

"It's wonderful, and as we spend more and more time with the alumni, believe me, they have some specific ideas of concepts we should do," Allen said. "And we really are gonna listen to our alumni quite a bit this year."

[/quote]My prediction - white jerseys with existing burgundy pants, burgundy jerseys with GOLD pants. They've already worn the white/burgundy combo vs. Buffalo last Friday.


Now in FedEx Field's official team store...

Re: Bruce Allen on McNabb extension, Haynesworth and uniforms
 

I'd like to see them stick with the classic white jerseys and burgundy pants at home. I liked that they went back to the striped socks last week too.

Re: Bruce Allen on McNabb extension, Haynesworth and uniforms
 

Speaking of striped socks, what did people think of Denver's vertical stripes on those hideous throwbacks they wore last year?

I liked the idea of vertical stripes because of the way Jabar Gaffney wore them...he twisted them so the stripes weren't straight:
[IMG]http://cache4.asset-cache.net/xc/91864147.jpg?v=1&c=IWSAsset&k=2&d=77BFBA49EF878921CC759DF4EBAC47D0969540A1D0646F5A1A0570ADEACEB73913D796B560E6A7F6E30A760B0D811297[/IMG]

Personally, I thought that was awesome!

Re: Bruce Allen on McNabb extension, Haynesworth and uniforms
 

I loved them, when worn properly.

You can see the twisted ones in there:
[IMG]http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2569/4003355364_4e65a68d7e_o.png[/IMG]



My favorite of the throwbacks were the Oilers light blue, Bills and Patriots.

The Bills' curent uniforms are a complete mess, they should return to the old standing buffalo white helmet full time. The Patriots need Pat back, Flying Elvis was always ugly. I also thought the Vikings throwback last year was a big upgrade, even with the mismatched purple helmet. If they'd take that striping design with the current metallic purple....perfection. Their current one is a piping mess.

[IMG]http://www.digitaldataplease.com/DogBiscuitGazette/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/adrian-peterson3.jpg[/IMG]

Sadly, the Oilers are gone forever. I always loved all of their uniforms.

This year's throwbacks: Packers, Bears, Eagles, Colts.

Ugly .. those cardinals jerseys are sick ?? Skins need to go with an all gold jersey see what happens .. bring back the spear helmets !!

Re: Bruce Allen on McNabb extension, Haynesworth and uniforms
 

All gold jersey? Gold numbers on a gold jersey?

As for the Cardinals...they should be the color of a cardinal.

I hate black being used for no reason, especially when it's not in the team's color palette. The Skins better NEVER use black jerseys, or even a hint of black trim.

Re: Bruce Allen on McNabb extension, Haynesworth and uniforms
 

The Cardinals jerseys are cool to look at but they are way too similar tothe Falcons' jerseys.

As far as the Skins, I love all the unis. I don't know why the all white and all burgundy ones get so much flack them joints are SICK as hell. Nothing like the traditional White tops burgundy bottoms. Whatever they wear I don't care but I do love the all burgundy ones. If they go with the gold pants that would be slick too.

[quote=DCtoAZ;722013]Ugly .. those cardinals jerseys are sick ?? Skins need to go with an all gold jersey see what happens .. bring back the spear helmets !![/quote]

I can almost picture that, with burgundy numbers with white outline or white numbers with burgundy outline and add the spear helmet.

or, use a gold shirt with burgundy pants with our current helmet or reverse the colors on the "R" helmet. Make it burgundy with a gold "R".
