New "Uniform" idea

[GPRedskin]

Nice work. Those look sharp. Maybe if Vinny suggested those to Danny, the team would be wearing them next week.

I always hated how our official colors are the B&G, yet we're using YELLOW as a secondary color. I know its been like this for a long time, but I wouldn't mind seeing the yellow in our unis change to gold instead. Like the facemask, helmet, the stripes on the jerseys and pants too. This is why I really, REALLY liked the 2002 70th anniversary uniforms. Its no wonder Zorn was confused about it when he got here, honestly.

Oh, here we go, excuses, excuses, excuses..... just having fun. I too don't know why the colors Burgandy and Yellow. Everyone says the colors are Burgandy and Gold. If anything they should start using the Gold. I might also go with some sort of metal flake Burgandy on the helmit to make it pop a little.

These Uni's are nice. Since time imagined the colors are Burgandy and Gold(Yellow), it would be nice to actually see Gold in the color scheme.

The uniform designs are great! But these beauties are not for next week or this season. After we get the new GM and HC in place, then we should have new uniforms to symbolize a new era of winning football.

Seriously, Summo, these designs are outstanding! They are updated while preserving the classic look of the Redskins franchise. I truly think you should send them to Dan Snyder for his consideration.

P.S. The shoe design could use a little oomph! If you feel like doing it, I'd like to see what you could come up with for them.

Whether it's wishful thinking or not (about the new GM), I completely agree with you. I know tradition is huge for most skins fans, but you've got to admit that that era is over. I was only 2 years old when they last won the super bowl, so I hope y'all can understand why I'm not particularly attached to their current unis myself. Next season is the time to do it if it's going to happen.

Geez -- thanks for making the rest of us feel so old.

Seriously, I like the unis; does the helmet still have the stripes on the top? I actually think it might look less busy without them and I would be fine with that modification to the helmet (unlike the awful feather-duster version that was pictured in the other thread).

Summo, I'm impressed. Those are excellent.

haha hey you should be glad there are some young Redskins fans around. Just about every one of my friends are Steelers and Pats fans... well about 10 years ago all my friends were Broncos and Packers fans... young people suck.

I am glad. And I am glad that you have no Cowboy fan friends -- that is important in life.

Replace the white with gold. Old is new.

[saden1]

Looks reel sleek. I like...and our new QB looks like he's about to make a play..

[Dirtbag59]

It's not to bad. However I would like to see us wear these for maybe half the year and classics for the other half.

I guess I am more of a traditional guy. I would prefer to keep the uniforms as they are. Your design isn't bad, but as I have seen teams go away from what works, like the Seahawks, Cardinals, Bengals, etc. They really didn't do a good job with their updates.

I am not bashing your uniforms. I think that they would be fine. My one criticism of your uniforms is the R on the side. I thought that was a bit much.

I agree completely.

A good example is the Vikings. The throwbacks they are wearing are FAR SUPERIOR to the modern set they use with the random, but overdone piping and striping.
