Burgundy on Burgundy Tonight

I liked them for something different. Its nothing I'd want to see them wear all the time, but I think it is cool to have something different to bust out for a prime time game every year.

Call me old fashioned, but Gibbs was onto something when he made White jerseys with burgundy pants the classic combo we all know and love.

While the B on B wasn't too bad, I just don't like it. There is something to be said about tradition...

I've always liked the older-school burgundy jerseys with white or gold pants, rather than the other way around. I think we look more intimidating that way. And even if we don't look more intimidating, I think it is the coolest look. I miss burgundy jerseys at home.

I agree with you there. I can remember as a child in the early seventies watching the Skins play with the old color burgandy and the gold pants. They really did look tough, even with the white jerseys. I have never liked the modern uniform, even though we did win three superbowls with them. I would like to see the Skins change the uniforms to something that resembles that look. As for the B on B, it looked pretty good when they were coming out of the tunnel, especially Fletcher waving the flag. But it lost its feel after the loss.

i like the throwbacks with the spear helments better than any of the uniforms the skins have worn lately.i wish we'd see them this season,but do they have to get uniforms like that approved by the league first?
