Re: 2011 NFL Uniform Thread
 

I only expect the Reebok logo will change to a Nike logo and that's it for us. Maybe the fabric will look slightly different. :D

Don't expect Nike to come in and go all Pro Combat on the league...the teams have identities and traditions and the league has a strict uniform policy.

Re: 2011 NFL Uniform Thread
 

I'll believe it when I see it.

In the throw back uniforms the team used yellow.
Last year they used a more mustard color.

So in all reality I'd prefer they use the actual color for a change. Just take a moment and Google "yellow", "mustard color", and "gold" and you will see the differences. Maybe use actual "gold" and "burgundy" with a hint of metal flake to make the helmets pop.

Stop with the Mustard and Yellow. The Skins use GOLD. Athletic Gold is far different than a traditional gold like the 49ers and Saints use.

Re: 2011 NFL Uniform Thread
 

Well you made my case and point.

2002-present: mustard
1997-2001: mustard
1980-1996: yellow
1978-1979: mustard
1972-1977: mustard
1970-1971: mustard
1965-previous: GOLD

All I'm saying is I'd like to see the team get back to an original color gold. You all can hate it all you want but Florida state uses an actual gold which is what we should be using instead of yellow.

Re: 2011 NFL Uniform Thread
 

Funny, I don't see the term mustard anywhere in Buster's post, which is pretty informative by the way. Nice source.

Re: 2011 NFL Uniform Thread
 

^ There is a difference between metallic gold and organic gold. We use organic gold, not yellow.

You know that a goldenrod flower is gold - it is written right into the name. That is organic gold.

Re: 2011 NFL Uniform Thread
 

What I found interesting is that we have only been the Burgundy and Gold since 1970. Prior to that, we were the Maroon & Gold!

So, Zorn almost sorta had it half right. lol.

You are correct fine gentleman it is not but what I was refering to is the fact that people for whatever reason accept yellow as gold even if the team wants to call it gold. My point was just because the team wants to use the term "gold" does not make it gold. Officially it has been closer to either yellow or mustard not gold, or as the fine other gentleman pointed out "metallic gild" which is what I would prefer they use. I'm guessing you guys would be alright if the team used a more candy apple red and called it "burgundy" too.

It's not the team calling it gold, that's the actual color. The color is "officially" GOLD! If you feel better calling it mustard, go ahead.

You do realize there are different varieties of every color. There's not just one red, one green, one black, one gold, etc.

Re: 2011 NFL Uniform Thread
 

I thought I heard something on ESPN saying the NFL was OK ing the whole red/white/blue thing based on the day "9/11".

Re: 2011 NFL Uniform Thread
 

per wikipedia:

[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_(color[/url])

Fans of the National Football League will note the Pittsburgh Steelers, Washington :Redskins, and Green Bay Packers as having gold as a color. The gold they use, however, is a distinctly more yellow color (akin to the non-metallic web color version) than the traditional "old gold" used by the New Orleans Saints, San Francisco 49ers, and Saint Louis Rams. In both cases, the color is referred to as "gold", with the yellow shade sometimes referred to as "athletic gold" when distinguishing it from the metallic shades."

and our pants last year were pretty close to the color called gold you see here

Re: 2011 NFL Uniform Thread
 

^ LOL, I love the fact it's showing all the shades of yellow.

All I'm saying is if they are going to say their colors are burgundy and gold don't blow smoke up my butt and give me yellow. Unfortunately I base my color off of the old crayons in my crayola box.

So having said that I'd lime to see the metalic gold used instead with both striping and maybe even a jersey with burgundy pants.

[quote=Monkeydad;832832]The Bears' Lance Briggs is saying he's going to wear some red/white/blue shoes and gloves that he got from Reebok on 09/11 and doesn't care if he's going to be fined...which he likely will.

[IMG]http://s1.proxy03.twitpic.com/photos/large/393074678.jpg[/IMG]

I hope there is a big backlash against the league if they try to fine him. Better yet, I hope as many players as possible get these shoes and gloves.

If the teams have to wear hot pink for a month EVERY season, but can't show some patriotism on a VERY IMPORTANT, SOLEMN date...ridiculous.

I support Briggs in this 100%. Now just stop whining about your contract again and stop asking for trades.[/quote]

League is going to let it ride

Re: 2011 NFL Uniform Thread
 

[quote=SBXVII;831367]Not to be a tard but you've confused me. I thought the sole reason you never saw the burgundy jersey at home was because "most" teams do wear their white uni's at home. The Skins did the same thing, they wore their white jersey's at home with the burgundy pants.

Personally I liked the "yellow" pants and wish they would use something more closer to the pewter color "gold" vs. the yellow or mustard gold. However I could be content with just about anything as long as they are winning. I would like to see a crayola "gold" used as the base for the helmet and burgundy and white stripes with either a burgundy arrow or the current logo used. I know the arrow design would look too much like Florida for some of you folks, but I'm not a college fan so I could care less. I also could substitute the white with black. Remember white was not in the original colors (burgundy and gold), Gibbs added and used the white jerseys which caught on because they were winning.[/quote]

Well, since most teams don't wear white jerseys at home, except for Dallas, and some of the warmer climate teams early in the season, Miami, San Diego -- visiting teams are forced to wear their white jerseys away. So, since under Gibbs and Norv Turner the Redskins always wore white jerseys at home, they also wore white jerseys away unless they were in Dallas, and occasionally, Philly. As a result, we rarely saw the burgundy jersey/white pants combo.

As for the mustard vs. yellow vs. gold debate -- all I know is, the gold pants from the 2002 throwback unis were far different from last year's throwback "gold" pants. The '02 pants were more metallic colored -- I preferred those. A good comparison is Green Bay's yellow pants to St. Louis's metallic gold. Go back and look at pics from the Packer's game at Washington last year ... they look practically identical.

Yes, plenty of teams (HS and College) also use Athletic Gold like us. The official color sheet calls it simply "Gold", but it's often called athletic gold by many uniform suppliers.

Grambling wears ALL gold sometimes.

I hope we can put this silly debate to rest. We're not mustard, yellow or anything OTHER THAN GOLD. Ironic that the guy putting up the biggest stink about it has the gold helmet as his avatar. :D










Anyways, so glad to see B&G on the field again this season. We looked awesome, aside from our play.

Worst look of Week 1 was the Rams' monochrome blue. Yuck. Bad look with all blue and horrible striping on the pants that doesn't go with anything else on the rest of the uniform.
