This morning's interviews on Comcast told a different story. They give Smoot and Rodgers credit for ordering them since they both love yellow, but every player they asked had good comments.

I love them, they're far from hideous.

I might record the game just because they're wearing them, plus we'll kill the Giants.

I'm not surprised that Smoot & Rogers picked those unis, nobody ever accused those guys of having taste.

The guys were joking you know. I hope you don't think the team would let Smoot do the 75th Anniversary planning.

I'm looking forward to seeing them. I was never a big fan of the yellow helmet with the 'R' logo but over the years it's kinda grown on me.

I agree, Irish.

I guess most people know the story about why Vince Lombardi chose the "R" helmets. He was basing that on the "G" helmets of the Packers, whom of course he had coached before the Redskins. Maybe he liked the yellow helmets of Green Bay too.

Personally, I like the uniforms, and having canary yellow prominent in the color scheme, but think that the "R" is better on a baseball cap.

Compared to the Eagles and Steelers uni’s there down right gorgeous. I can’t wait to see them on Sunday.

I like them... the pants are a stretch, but I like the hats...

I DO wish we had pink uinforms, though...

I mean could you imagine playing football in pink uniforms... You COULDN'T lose!

Jeeze, listen to us all. We sound like a bunch of girlfriends talking about our dresses! :tongue As long as we see some crimson color (blood) on these ridiculous throwback uni's, I don't care what they wear.

I like the jersey more than the pants, but I bet they'll look good on game day.

With all due respect to Vince Lombardi, I never cared for the yellow "R" Redskin's helmets, or the associated yellow/white uni's. I preferred the burgundy "arrowhead" throwback helmet for nostalgia, but our current uni still reigns supreme.

I never liked the Vince designed helmets either. I'd prefer the throwback to go all the way back to the beginning with the single feather on the back of the Burgandy helmet. I'm just not quite sure what our unis looked like back in the '30s and '40s.

Just a side note: The feather(s) was(were) originally used to help shade the sun from the Braves eyes!
