Now hopefully Washington will only wear white pants paired with burgundy socks or vice versa with the white jerseys. Even without the stripes, the gold pants won't fit. Looks fine to me. 6 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VDizzle12 Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Maybe it's because I've tried to ignore the Commanders entire identity. But I honestly didn't even realize until this moment that they ever stopped wearing gold pants. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gold on the helmet only goes so far. For comparison, look at the Steelers when they wear white jerseys and gold pants. They have significant amounts of gold on their white jerseys between the sleeve stripes and nameplates. Then look at the Jaguars when they wear white over teal. The teal looks out of place because there's little to no teal on their jerseys, even though that's their primary color. Unfortunately, the Commanders are closer to the Jaguars than the Steelers for me. Maybe if the pants had stripes on the side it would help, but these just look shoehorned in with the white jerseys. It's the same problem I have when Washington pairs the white pants with the burgundy jerseys. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the same problem I have when Washington pairs the white pants with the burgundy jerseys. Actually, the helmet and pants work together just fine (see the pictures with the burgundy jersey). It's 100% the jersey with it's near complete lack of gold that clashes with the other two components rendering it a disjointed look. 1 Quote https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4_tattoos Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Why couldn't they have just had a set of gold pants from the initial rebrand? When the decision was made to make gold the second most prominent color on the home jerseys, gold pants should have been a no brainer. Hopefully the new ownership group drops the black uniforms ASAP. Unpopular opinion: I wouldn't be mad if they added a gold sock option if it was to only to be worn with the burgundy over burgundy combo.

burgundy Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 7 hours ago, DCarp1231 said: Why not model white over gold too instead of just burgundy over gold? There's no saving those abominations, no matter what color the pants are. So I'd rather the gold pants remain untainted, and only be used with the burgundy jersey. And hopefully they wear burgundy over gold as much as they possibly can (but we know they won't). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a guarantee they’ll only wear the gold pants twice in a season and even better odds that one of those games will be the annual alumni game.

I get that you can't really make rules that (sigh) take away someone's individual expression (despite that they're still wearing a UNIform) but someone's got to put a stop to that trash. 1 1 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

FiddySicks Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 22 hours ago, Cujo said: They both sucked. It didn’t really suck, because it was just the BurgandyRhinds unis (which were legit great outside of the name/logo issue) with all of the logos and some of the striping stripped off. But they were absolutely bad because they just stripped off all of the good elements. I don’t understand why they took off the old striping from the helmet when they went WFT. Why keep like 80% of that uni intact, rather than just fully change or just remove the logo/wordmarks? EDIT: Ok so that word is now censored out? Hmm. I get it, I guess. I’ll just call the old team the MaroonRhinds from now on instead (for historical purposes, of course). 1 Quote On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

Of course, nothing will ever top Potomac Drainage Basin Indigenous Persons, which is what they should’ve rebranded to 20 years ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
