9,999 dollar question: To use the throw backs or not?

4mrusmc · 12-25-2007, 03:37 PM

For all the superstitious people out there. What do you think and why? A throw back uni to only be used once is a shame, and not very good for marketing.

I would love to see em again. The yellow is a little hard on the eyes, but overall, it is a welcome change.

they were supposed to wear them for 2 games this season, obviously the giants game, but was the cowboys game the other? let's just get the W.

I didn't like the results of the first game, I say bag them till next year.

Redskins.com was selling the game used helmets with autos of Sonny and Sam for $450.00 a while back. Looked to me like they were selling off the Throwbacks and recouping some of their money (Dan never misses a marketing opportunity). Everything we heard earlier was they would only wear them for the Giants game, not that they would wear them twice. I don't think we'll see them again.

When they wore them for the Giants game I thought they said that they weren't sure if they would wear them again. Like I said, I'm pretty sure they were selling off some game used stuff on Redskins.com so I don't expect to see them again.

NO WAY, BAD RESULTS FIRST TIME! I remember the giants game all to well. Those old yellows can stay in the hamper or the trash can, where they belong!

I hope to not ever see those fugly things again, and I'll be glad to take a bet we wont! I'm a YELLA HATTER, kind of a cowardly color IMO. They also remind me of the packers uniforms.......

No to throwbacks.

Is it me, but does it seem that the team has already tweeked their current uni's by doing something different with the socks?

Ocliw · 12-25-2007, 08:19 PM

I dont care if they wear sweats and flip flops as long as they beat dallas.

scowan · 12-25-2007, 09:25 PM

I vote for white on white again! A winning combination.

Chris20720 · 12-25-2007, 10:08 PM

Those uni's should have stayed in 1971! One game with them was more than enough. They should have worn something from the George Allen era.

DynamiteRave · 12-25-2007, 10:11 PM

I vote Burgandy tops, gold bottoms. I remember (I think.. lol) that they used to wear those against Dallas back in the day.

Sheriff Gonna Getcha · 12-25-2007, 10:51 PM

I say stick with our normal unis - don't fix what ain't broke.

It's not just you, dude, but it's the shoes and socks!

I vote, if this is a poll question, that we not use the throw-backs. Never liked the Cheese-flavored unis!
