Redskins Uniforms

Probably little to no chance of the Skins making any change to their base uniform. They might toss in a retro look here and there, but a permanent change? Not gonna happen.

Good, I consider our look a classic, almost untouchable look. Sure, we'vehad this look for only 39 years so they don't have the longevity of Chicago or Green Bay's REALLY untouchable sets, but we played in 5 Super Bowls in these uniforms. They represent a lot of tradition.

Thats part of the problem. Although I grew up with it.... it's classic. The Indian head has been around for some 30 years plus. Yes it's been tweeked but it's the same helmet. During Gibbs1 he emplimented the white into the uni's or at least more of the white. Gibbs1 era ended 1994 were almost at the 20 yr mark.

If they are afraid to do any major color changes then atleast update the design. I liked the gold pants with the burgundy jersey's.

I like jerseys without apostrophes.

I'd like to think if the team starts winning then the uni's are a moot point. lol. I like what they did with the burgundy and gold this year. All I'm argueing mostly is the fact that people are against black and the simply reason is "because it's not one of the team colors." All I'm saying is be fair. If black should not be used because it's not the team color then neither should white. The colors are Burgundy and Gold. Period. Now white was used to make the numbers show up better and then it was added to the pants and socks as trim. For some reason during the Gibbs1 era the white jersey some how found its way aboard. So if white can find its way into the uni's then black as a replacement could also. Just don't say "it's not the team colors." Just say "I'm used to white and would prefer it not changed to black."

I could handle a change if the team wanted to. They don't want to change thats fine too. Some of the concepts presented were a little off the chain and some I think are nice. I actually like the black uni, but whatever. As someone else pointed out maybe if they used more burgundy and had black trim. I think the helmet is awsome with the team logo taking up the whole helmet vs. just a circle on each side of the helmet. Use gold or use burgundy instead.

As I said earlier, white is a neutral color used by almost every team in the league for purposes of distinguishing between the two teams on the field. Normally (although not all the time) the home team wears their main colors on their jerseys while the visiting team wears white. Not always the case certainly, but that is the purpose for teams wearing a white jersey, because it's neutral and stands out better.

I really have a problem w/ that list. GB i'm ok w/. Chargers at #11? Chargers uni's have got to be top 5. TB, Chi, NE, Indi ahead of the Skins...? TB's are still bad imo. I like NE's old uni's better than the new. Chi's uni are ok, but not above average. The Jet's are not great by any means.

The list looked pretty good to me, but it's all subjective.

I probably would have had the Steelers a little higher, not a big fan of the Chargers unless they're wearing the powder blue jerseys, Skins should be top 10.

Black is tired, unless it's your primary color I think too many teams over use it.

I would hate if the skins wore black.. Seriously I don't want to change much but I would upgrade the style like Detroit and ARZ did

Arizona DOWNGRADED theirs.

[skinsfaninok]

And the Panthers and Broncos are way far down on this list imo.

Browns at 5?? Bears at 2?? No way

They are dead on with Dallas, seriously match your damn unis.

I agree with his assessment of the Skins 2002, 75th Anniversary uniforms. I had hoped they would have been adopted as our full time home uniforms.

I like those BUT I just cant stop seeing FSU when we wore those. The Lombardi skins Unis are ok but not for long term.
