The yellow helmets and yellow pants were Vince Lombardi's contribution to the Skins. The Skins wore true burgundy and gold and the spear helmets, before his arrival. Lombardi basically made the Skins look like the Packers but with maroon instead of green. I'm not a fan of that look but I do like the 5 stripe pattern on the jerseys and socks and the yellow pants better than the current 2 stripe jerseys and white pants.
The true burgundy and gold uni's with the spear helmet are the best, though.
Another guy I never met. What is up with you?

What is up with me? Well, I've been a Redskins fan for over 30 years and been attending games since the late 70's. I'm not a regular here but I have been a member for a few years.

I guess I'm alone here, but I think these things are awful...I hope we only wear them once this year. I'm not an FSU fan but I thought the 70th were much better. These look like some broke ass high school JV uniforms to me.
Although, we could wear pink uniforms for all I care as long as we get back to the Super Bowl. I could care less what we wear I just want to win.

The promo for the 75th anniversary documentary looks pretty cool. Too bad I won't be able to see it. :(

I really like the spear helmet and true burgandy and gold colors, I wish they would go to that uni full time. This yellow helmet looks terrible. I didnt like them back in the day and I wish they woud have stayed retired.

I meant to add this earlier, I went to the Redskins store today in Short Pump Mall (Richmond area) and the manager there said that they will be wearing this helmet for 3 home games. I think its great...
