Anyone Else Notice the Burgundy Bloom?

Haven't noticed a bloom of anything here in Norfolk. I've noticed that when people find out I'm a skins fan, it isn't all bad things they are saying. "Your QB looks sharp", "Your Defense is Nasty", "Redskins?????, them boys can hit though".

I think early in the season you ALWAYS have more people supporting the team, as the season goes on and typically losses pile up, interest wanes. I always wear my jersey the day before the game.

I don't know about NOVA but in Maryland at least people have been wearing skins gear from day 1. U can tell there was a lotta optimism with regards to this season because there were a bunch of jerseys on even during preseason. Around the Univ of MD campus (even though there is usually an abundance of effeminate Raven's purple) I saw a lotta burgundy and gold. I happened to be in a baltimore bar for the 3rd preseason game and it seemed like there were more rowdy Skins fans than ravens ass clowns. A very reassuring sight.

Living in Harrisburg, I'm surrounded by Eagles fans. What's really great is NOT SEEING any Eagles hats, shirts or other Birds garbage since the start of the season. 0-2 will do that to them, especially when they see it might be getting worse!

I used to live in Harrisburg. Find out where Chris James (93.5 WTPA fm) is going to be on gameday and you can bet the Skins will be on! Even if the Steelers fan club is present, he always made sure the game was on one of the tv's!

You got another compadre here. I just moved from Baltimore about 4 months ago, but I was in enemy territory there too, so what else is new?

Haha! Another Skins fan in the ATX! We are gonna take over!

Call it the Shrinkage of the Green.

It happens all the time. Happened in 2005 too. It's all Garnet and Black down here in Columbia, SC though. These people freaking love Steve Spurrier, go figure.

Yeah, I live in South Carolina and last year you would barely see a Gamecocks jersey and Clemson fans would be everywhere. Now all you see is Gamecocks jerseys and people who honestly think they can win the SEC. I really don't like fair-weather fans.

Lots of Skins jerseys at my school (Mason) on Tuesday. Actually, I saw one guy wearing a Portis jersey that I know for a fact I had seen in the preseason wearing a Heath Miller jersey. Busted.

I'm not a gear guy but my Skins flag fly's with the good and the bad. I do sport my skins hat on the weekends but that's about it.
