The Reskins have the coolest color combo in the entire NFL, and it has remained sharp since the current uniform scheme was introduced at the beginning of the Gibbs era. Maybe they want to have a redo for Shanny, but I am not so sure we will get the same results. I guess I am more of an anti hype guy anymore. It seems the more they hype something up, the less genuine or less quality that object or product is. Unfortunately, in this case , it means the NFL.

It's the off-season bro. Also, allow us to enjoy this conversation about the uniforms without steering it off the proverbial doom and gloom cliff.

Thanks.

Nothing to do with doom and gloom, just those are the facts. It is a marketing gimmick and hype.

I'll second this. It's bad enough that we get all pissy at each other during the season, but now we have to do it the entire offseason too? Sigh.
