unless they are going to be using scotch tape, tape will be white or black or sometimes team color

yes they were ugly. it looks like reebok did stop making football shoes. but what stops a manning from wearing a 2011 model? is there a uniform rule against it?

I've read somewhere else that one of the EA Sports execs have seen all of the alternates and has said that the Redskins uni is one of the better ones. It is supposed to be a completely modern look - not necessarily a throwback. Take that with a grain of salt, though.

Good because they have decided to go with a pink and purple theme with bedazzled seams. Should look hot.

I think RGIII would love that.

A Sammy Baugh throwback would be great! I love the style of numerals on those jerseys. Gold helmets!






We did the 1930s-'40 throwback before. 1994. Looked horrible with a modern helmet.

What is so bad with black? Our colors are Burgundy and Gold, just because white has been used since the early 80's as an accent color doesn't mean it has to be white. I could see black and it would look just as good. Black pants Burgundy jersey. Burgundy pants with a Black jersey. Maybe use the Arrow design with black instead of white. Burgundy helmet with black face mask and black and gold arrow.

Correction: our colors are maroon and black.

From Orakpo's comment of "Nike still working a third jersey" at the uniform unveiling, I think we could in for a new design instead of a throwback.


They recycled the 75th patch for 80 so I don't know.
