DCarp1231 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I’ve always thought Washington could be capable of finding a happy medium between Minnesota and USC uniforms Yes I think Washington could pull off a darker grey uniform Yes I’d be fine with Washington using a black facemask like Minnesota al a Vikings (coincidentally) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1insaneguy Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I'd definitely prefer a dark gray uniform as a color rush/alternate to the all yellow ones that were proposed a few years ago. As for the black facemask, I don't think it makes much sense. Gray or yellow/gold would look much better in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramsjetsthunder Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Would love for Washington to go with a grey mask. The helmet would be amazing. As much as I'd love for them to keep it, it's too good. Allow me to explain. It looks like a classic you'd see along with the Packers, Bears, Steelers, etc. But it's not. It was made in 2020. Modernize it a bit, but throw a gray facemask on it and it is truly one of today's great helmets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think for a gold facemask to work, the new logo would need to be predominantly gold for balance purposes. Grey is a safe call choice. Can’t really go wrong with it. It’s (ironically) the gold standard of facemasks As for black, I don’t know how, but the University of Minnesota somehow manages to pull off a wonderfully executed helmet with it. Washington has similar, if not the exact same, colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 IF gold facemask then should be white numbers.

For some reason in my head I had Alabama with a white facemask so it was literally just two colors on a helmet like Washington. Honest mistake. However, I don’t see the need to make the numbers white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I think it's more balanced for them if white is on the helmet. I consider white one of their colors, not just a "color they have to have". There are some teams that only use white because they have to, whether it's for contrast, or the mandatory color of away jerseys. While WTF fancies themselves as "burgundy and gold", I think they use enough white in areas where it's not necessary to consider it a third color for them. Therefore, due to the overall color balance, and my desire for all three of their colors to be on their helmet, either the numbers should be white, there should be a white stripe, or (I'll settle for) the facemask should be gray, which isn't white, but is kinda sorta like dirty white, and it's a third color and white facemasks suck so I'll treat gray like it's white.

DCarp1231 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Currently in the midst of a twitter feud with someone who wants the team to change to “Washington FC” and their entire purpose behind it is to undermine the change being made by allowing fans to continue calling them the “R*******” because “everyone would know what fans want and nobody can say anything about it” There’s no hope.
