Anyone Else Notice the Burgundy Bloom?

[Sammy Baugh Fan]

I seen guys at a local watering hole and everywhere yesterday wearing their Burgundy and Gold. Heck some I didn't even know were Redskins fans but now they got a brand new sweatshirt or dug something out of their closet.

I live 20 miles South of DC and yes there are a lot of Skins fans but not as many as now are blooming burgundy. If we lose a couple they'll be throwing their stuff back in the closet.

I rock my gear win or lose. Heck after a loss I head to the local pub to take my fair share of abuse...cus I will abuse yer Team when we win.

Just a local observation is all. Anyone else notice the same thing?

Hail Redskins!
peace to you guys

Everyone at my college has been supporting them from game 1. I would agree that if they started losing you wont see as many but to start they're there!

Nope, still the same old blue and silver in Oklahoma. Damn rednecks.

I completely agree SBF. Some skins fans only break out their gear when they do well and I think its so lame. I wear my gear all the time and both my wife and I's cars both have skins plates that we have had for years. I hate those fairweather people that only wear it when they are doing well. Don't be a closet fan. I don't think anyone on this forum fits this description. HTTR.

I live in Atlanta, a Redskins bloom is a rare sight for me.

I wast just in Atlanta last weekend, didn't see a Skins or a Falcons jersey, no surprises. Where I live I don't see to many but I have heard from my friends that plenty of closet Redskins fan are starting to show up in NOVA.

No problems here in Austin, TX with seeing burgundy and gold except when I sport it!

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?

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!

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.

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!
