D.C. Sports Bog - Redskins alumni will help decide team's uniforms

Could be 2011. Who knows:

Redskins alumni will help decide team's uniforms


Bruce Allen and ESPN 980's Kevin Sheehan combined to create quite a furor 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 featuring gold pants. 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."

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.
