I LOVED this set. I wish they had the chance to wear it more than once.

Yeah I think that I was one of the few who actually liked it.

Yeah it looks good with the script R helmet it might look even better with our regular one.

Side note: when at team tweaks or changes their uniforms they end up doing a complete turn around go deep into the playoffs or win the Super Bowl.

Examples:

The Broncos win the SB twice.
Tampa Bay win the SB.
Oilers change to Titans make it to the SB.
Patriots win the SB 3 times.
Seattle goes to the SB.
San Diego become a real contender.

Also dont forget 1982 when the Washington Redskins had the tucked feathers for one season and we won the SB and the following year we switched back.

It didnt work for Detroit or did it they went from 0-16 to 2-14.

It seems that more than often when a team changes their uniforms positive things start to happen, so bring on them Gold pants.

Wouldn't it be great if we had burgundy and gold for home games and gold and white for road games? I liked those throwbacks we wore in '07 too.

I would like to see a redskin uni that incorporates a full black unifor. I think that would be sweet. The burgandy and gold with black pants and jersey. It would look sharp.

Black would look like utter @#%&.

The trend of adding black to uniforms is thankfully dying. They all looked horrible. The only team that pulled it off was the Lions. Not their black jerseys, but the black facemasks and accents looked OK for them. Then there were disasters like the Eagles.

Adding black for fashion/jersey sales/no good reason is a horrible idea. Not only does it not use your team's real color scheme, it usually looks bad.

The Skins would look worse than most teams in black. We have one of the nicest looking color schemes in the NFL...we need to utilize it.

You are correct - he has been to more pro bowls than many other Redskins - he just wasn't press friendly.

He actually belongs way before several of the guys who recently got in.
