The Yearly Uniform Change...

Here's a link to the new Minnesota Viking uniforms:

http://www.vikings.com/news_detail_o...unch42706.html


True to recent form, if you look at the accompanying video of their uniform introduction show, there's about 6 different versions that the Vikings will wear this year.

I was wondering if the Redskins will ever change their uni's. It seems that some teams stay the same, like the Steelers, Raiders, and Cowboys. I believe they've had the same uniforms for at least 30 something years. Hopefully the Skins will stay with theirs for a long time to come. I like the white on white look though (but that's not really a change.)

Re: The Yearly Uniform Change...

The skins only real uni chages over the last few decades have been the throwbacks the one year, the different color pants on occasion and the minute chages in the logo. We have a classic and unique look that doesn't need changing.

Exactly, but i wouldnt mind seeing one alternate a year. I dont really care for the white on white, but burgundy on burgundy could be interesting, say vs. dallas. Or if they could get a black uniform somehow with like a black helmet and a script R on the helmet. And if they could somehow incorporate the burgundy and gold in the uniform. That would look pretty intimidating vs. dallas.

How about instead of the Redskins selling out their fantastic tradition you simply become a Raiders fan? Black uniforms are a dying fad anyway. Perhaps after we get another ring the rest of the NFL will consider integrating burgandy and gold into THEIR uniforms. The only uniform change that we needed has already occured. This year the Skins put the words "Randle El" on the back of a jersey. End of discussion.

It was just a suggestion. Why would i want to be a raiders fan? I have a black skins hat with a script R on it. The Redskins Official Online Store was
pushing those black jerseys towards the end of last season. And they actually looked pretty cool.

How could you criticize the White on White? We won 6 games in a row in them and everybody has their superstitions. My favorite uniform however, is the gold pants and burgundy jersey. I can't remember the last time we threw that back though.

Hail!

The Vikes ugly uniforms just got uglier.

The Skins have a classic look, I hope they never go with one of these Arena ball style of uniforms.

Same with dallas, detroit, philadelphia, and baltimore. All teams that have pushed black alternate jerseys. I was just suggesting an alternate uniform for like one game of the season particularly vs. dallas. Im not calling for a complete uniform makeover just a one game kind of deal. I love the white jerseys and burgundy pants.

I think the Viking uniforms look pretty cool. That style wouldn't work for the Redskins. We try different looks, but whatever we do we keep a style that reminds you of our past. But you can't begrudge other teams from changing. The Broncos uniforms for example are a huge improvement for them over the past (though I preferred the orange base color for them).

Re: The Yearly Uniform Change...

yeah def looks very arena football style, makes them look stupid. I like some of the traditional uniforms in the NFL, like the Steelers, gives the game a better feel. Dont hate on dirthogs thoughts, the black jerseys are not that bad, and its a diff thing, doesnt mean its a raiders thing. They already have the goddamn pink ones, so whatever. The skins are def fine with there uniform as it is. Some people have made good pts that some of the changes are for the better, like Denver. Personally I feel the bronco on the helmet is a lil too spiced up, but it is an improvement. NE's jersey change was also a good improvement, along with St. Louis getting ride of the mustard yellow. In conclusion, change can be good.
