New Uniforms? Summo on Redskins.com!

[SolidSnake84]

Thinking about it all, i think we should try to incorporate some nostalgia. Sumo's design is a nice touch...especially the script on the sleeve.

To me, our current incarnation of white on white/ burgandy on burgandy, etc...is just a reminder of the epic fail that this franchise has been the last 2 years.

I agree with the other posters who feel that a jersey change is a nice way to refresh things and get us a different identity going forward....

Thursday, January 28: A New Uniform That Didn't Happen

I truly hope we NEVER add a black jersey or incorporate black into our uniforms (except for the Indian's hair of course).

It's an trend that far too many teams in all sports started last decade and needs to end. Unnecessary black just to add black is pointless and usually looks bad. Only the Detroit Lions pulled it off decently. Let's keep our color scheme intact.

Look how hideous the Eagles look in their black jerseys. I don't want that to be us. We WOULD look bad in black.

The Mets are another example of black ruining uniforms.


Zorn would love these but I want to puke:

I thought that the Saints pulled it off nicely as well. I agree that it doesn't belong with burgandy and gold though.

Yeah incorporating black into uniforms is so played out, I hate it too

Congrats on the recognition, Summo.

I've seen most of those since I'm an active member on the Chris Creamer logo site. Of all of them, I love the first one the most. Throwback + current set = that one, perfection. The set from "Yurk" is great too, but didn't show a helmet, so I'm assuming we'd keep the current one. Fine with me; it looks great, especially since they added the metallic a few years back.

Your graphical talent is great Summo, but it's too Nike-ish with the piping and too modern for my tastes. We have always had a classic look that I don't think we should stray too far from.

Last night on Redskins Nation, Matt Terl and Larry Michael confirmed nothing is officially in the works, it was just a rumor sparked from his post.

Actually the rumor was floating around before Terl's post.

It's always floating around. We have several threads a year about it.

[MTK]

No, this was a specific one. About a week ago a little bird told me a new "jersey" was in the works, not sure if this means a new full time jersey or if it's an alternate/throwback type. Just that something was definitely in the pipeline.

[Gtothearry]

I dig the CAB's.

[BigHairedAristocrat]

If we ever get a new uniform, it either needs to:

1) be very retro and sport the traditional logo; or
2) Be very modern and NOT have the indian on the helmet

I just dont see the two mixing well. honestly, i'd prefer ditching the indian entirely and going with the cursive "R" or something else, such as a modified version of the arrow or something like that.

[Monkeydad]

Black is one of the Saints' primary colors though. They didn't add it for the sake if fitting it in somewhere.

I love black uniforms...if that's part of the team's color scheme.

What I'm talking about is how some teams add a dark color for the sake of an update, like the Dolphins with the navy blue drop shadows on their numbers a few years back, or the 49ers with the black or the Eagles with the black 3rd jerseys. (them or the Jets need to bring back Kelly Green!)

adding black to the skins uni's would have been cool about 5 years ago, not now.

I disagree w/the former & agree w/the latter. In short, Black in the Skins uni should've been considered a dead idea as soon as Zorn said "maroon and black!"

so are you saying you've never liked the idea of adding black to the uniform (i'm not retarded,just slow. lol). i've never liked the idea,i'm just saying if it was gonna happen, it should have been years ago. to do it now would not be a smart move,imo.
