Personally I liked the "yellow" pants and wish they would use something more closer to the pewter color "gold" vs. the yellow or mustard gold. However I could be content with just about anything as long as they are winning. I would like to see a crayola "gold" used as the base for the helmet and burgundy and white stripes with either a burgundy arrow or the current logo used. I know the arrow design would look too much like Florida for some of you folks, but I'm not a college fan so I could care less. I also could substitute the white with black. Remember white was not in the original colors (burgundy and gold), Gibbs added and used the white jerseys which caught on because they were winning.

Well, since most teams don't wear white jerseys at home, except for Dallas, and some of the warmer climate teams early in the season, Miami, San Diego -- visiting teams are forced to wear their white jerseys away. So, since under Gibbs and Norv Turner the Redskins always wore white jerseys at home, they also wore white jerseys away unless they were in Dallas, and occasionally, Philly. As a result, we rarely saw the burgundy jersey/white pants combo.

As for the mustard vs. yellow vs. gold debate -- all I know is, the gold pants from the 2002 throwback unis were far different from last year's throwback "gold" pants. The '02 pants were more metallic colored -- I preferred those. A good comparison is Green Bay's yellow pants to St. Louis's metallic gold. Go back and look at pics from the Packer's game at Washington last year ... they look practically identical.
