Yea, I contacted the NFL a few years back and they told me that the teams before the season starts they have to fill out a form stating what unis they will be wearing at each home game.

They have worn White for there 1st 5 home games then Red for the last 3 home games. Interesting enough that they wore All White the 1st 2 games. Does not seem to be a reason, but my guess would be they would wear White and Redskins then would wear all Burgundy.

• If I'm Seattle, I'm not taking any chances. I'm not wearing the greenish blue jerseys-greenish blue pants combination against Washington, thereby allowing the Redskins to go with their white-on-white look. Washington is 6-0 since donning the all-white uni.

This quote from Don Banks in his Snap Judgements column this week at SI.

So here we go again....anyone know if the Skins will wear All White in the great Northwest on Saturday? Surely the Hawks aren't stupid enough to let them do it again for a 7th straight time!

I got nothing to say about burgundy uniforms...but I watched that Tampa game from a cruise ship (currently in Mexico) GO SKINS (am drunk, excuse me)

Seattle normally wears their dark unis at home. I think if you change unis to affect the other team, you are showing weakness. We'll see if they feel the same way.

I agree. I'd definitely want to call them a big bunch of superstitious pussies if they went against their normal home colors because they feel like those colors make us unstoppable.

Whites all the way again this week, 7-0 here we come!

Are you hoping or is this fact?

Seattle generally wears dark uniforms at home.

Seattle doesnt have to choose which uniforms to wear untill a few hours before gametime.

A few years ago Dallas "Forgot" their white uniforms on a road game in DC. we had to wear the red at home.

maybe our staff should forget the burgundy...

When did that happen? The only time I remember them wearing the darks at home against the Cowboys was during the Shottenheimer (SP) era.

Now I would assume that you found this from a good source. If so where? Cause I believe that is not true. Please tell us where you found this info???

Check out Summo's post a few pages back, he had some good insight on uniforms. The home team can't make a switch at the last minute. Think about it, the road team isn't going to bring both sets of uniforms.

This is incorrect. Marty Schottenheimer decided before the 2001 season that the Redskins would wear burgundy jerseys at home throughout the year. He thought they made the Skins look more "imposing."
