Eli is not elite SKINS vs midgets game day thread

My only worry is our uniforms. While we're look spectacular, we always lose in any of our anniversary uniforms.

Otherwise, we can beat them.

There may be a last second change as far as the uniforms tonight. Have heard mixed things from various people. I think they'll wear the throwbacks, but some people at the park this week have told me they aren't

Honestly, while I love the throwbacks, I'm not convolved we're not cursed in any throwback uniforms. I'd be fine with dumping them for this game.

Seriously, how did we let the 1-win Panthers flat out embarrass us?

The last time we wore throwbacks against the Giants, we got whipped in our 75ths. Before that, in our 70ths...loss to the Saints. In 1994 for the league's 75th anniversary, we lost two out of three in throwbacks.

I say dump them.

I like the throwbacks also. Mostly the darker (actual Burgundy) color jersey and I prefer the darker metalic (gold) pants they are wearing more so. The helmet I could care less with. I didn't like it at first but it has grown on me and I think it looks neat. Too bad they couldn't stick the logo on the side of the brown helmet. lol.

Then it wouldn't be a throwback. We'd be like the Steelers with a modern helmet with 1933 uniforms. That was the whole point of doing the leather, that's what was worn with this uniform. Great move with the black facemask too...since there was no facemask back then, black is the least-visible color. Gold or Grey would have stuck out like a sore thumb.

I love the leather look on the helmet. No one has ever done this before. It's the best part of the uniform in my opinion.

I try not to drink on weeknights but for some reason I see myself getting hammered drunk tonight, and crawling into work tomorrow a.m. with a VICTORY in my back pocket making it all worth while. Hail!!!!!!!!!! Mr. Daniels and I will enjoy the game with our friend Coke.

Having RGIII on our team is so awesome, so nice to actually be pumped up for Skins games, instead of hoping for the best.

You meant our friend Coke a Cola "right".

Yes, and not because I'm against that "coke" (JK I am), but I couldn't imagine pouring coke powder into whiskey tasting very good although I'm assuming i'd be AMPED up beyond belief. Don't thinking my girlfriend would like that combo though. She can barely handle me sober when my teams are playing.

LL/HTTR tweeted earlier this week (or last) that they were not going to wear the throw backs tonight. They'll be wearing them for the Ravens game.


Update: It's potentially still up in the air.


LL ‏@HTTR24_7
@EricO_703 original plan was to wear throwbacks vs Carolina & Giants (MNF).. Heard it was up in the air a few days ago, haven't checked since

I've updated my post. He posted this about a day ago, but he's said something else back a few days about it and the Ravens game. (can't find it) I think both of you have got the same info in regards to the uniforms at this current time. (aka...could be wearing them, might not)
