Again, this is what the uniform looks like on Madden 08.

I don't play madden but have numerous pictures from the 71 season the R was on both sides of the helmet. Sounds like you got a flaw in your game if it only shows on one side. This was the Lombardi designed helmet wore two years only.

I personally liked the 70th uniforms. I bought 2 jerseys in that style because I like them so much. I have an old Rod Gardner one and a newer ST one and I love em! But our throwbacks are the best by far. The Iggles ones are ATROCIOUS. If i was a philly fan and we were losing THAT bad AND they had to wear those queer looking jerseys, I might just riot.

I never liked the Vince designed helmets either. I'd prefer the throwback to go all the way back to the beginning with the single feather on the back of the Burgandy helmet. I'm just not quite sure what our unis looked like back in the '30s and '40s.

Just a side note: The feather(s) was(were) originally used to help shade the sun from the Braves eyes!

YES!! that was the best design for a football helmet ever...can't get much more original in my opinion

I guess most people know the story about why Vince Lombardi chose the "R" helmets. He was basing that on the "G" helmets of the Packers, whom of course he had coached before the Redskins. Maybe he liked the yellow helmets of Green Bay too.

Personally, I like the uniforms, and having canary yellow prominent in the color scheme, but think that the "R" is better on a baseball cap.

I thought they looked great.

But, after we blew the game, I said to my wife "they shouldn't wear those again." BAD LUCK!?
