Re: 2012 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike takes over

I loved them. I think we have a bit of a losing streak when we wear throwbacks, so hopefully the next time we wear them this season we'll break that streak. As far as throwbacks go, they looked way better than some of that stuff out there (looking at you, yellowish/blue Eagles jersey, Steelers bee jersey). I'd like to see them again more, I wish we'd wear throwbacks more than once every five years. And I thought the faux-leather helmet looked great, the idea itself doesn't sound good but they managed to pull it off.

We lose no matter what we wear. It's not the uniform, it's the team.

I agree, I was just pointing that out. People seem to hate the throwbacks because we lose when we wear them, but the reality is we lose enough as it is. What's our record going back the last 5 seasons? 26 victories since the start of the 2008 season? Pitiful.

Throw backs looked cool but I wouldn't want them (even if we changed the helmet) as the regular uniform. I like the burgandy pants with the white jerseys and the gold pants with burgandy jerseys. For helmets I like the one we have now but the arrow helmet is a good change of pace...

I loved the unis, I'd rather keep those honestly. Maybe not the helmet but make a helmet with that logo on it.

I love the leather helmet. Let make those the home uniforms and do the moderns on the road.

Or, maybe just wear them for prime time games on Sunday night, Monday and Thursday, when the HD looks better.

Re: 2012 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike takes over

I loved the throwbacks! I think the 'skins should make those uniforms permanent. The helmet is really cool too, but maybe keep the leather "texture" of the helmet, color it burgundy (just like our regular helmets) and of course put the logo back on it and that would be an awesome look for the Redskins.

Yeah the helmet didnt necessarily look bad I guess. Just kind of corny - a genuine imitation leather helmet? The unis are kickass. Would love to see a helmet in the same colors with an awesome logo.
Hey how bout if we make the playoffs you buy me a throw back jersey?
Lol

Since actual panthers are black, this makes sense. Long overdue.

Re: 2012 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike takes over

Interesting move, the new Browns ownership actually polled the Browns players about changing the uniforms.

The new owner has stated he intends on changing the uniforms, but not the helmet. No helmet logo is coming.

I agree, seems a bit ridiculous to wear white this far past Labor Day...
