Chazberg Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Well the whiny little bitch got his wish, and the whole Redskins team is now wearing solid burgundy socks with the burgundy pants, which is just about the worst thing I've ever seen. What happened to the days when a player would go up to a coach and suggest a bad uniform change, and the coach would say "Hey f*** you, how 'bout no, we don't change our uniforms"? Way to go Portis. They look like a bunch of black guys running around naked from the waste down. charles-noerenberg.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesCraven Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Agreed. Blame this on the Titans who started this in 1999 with the navy pants and navy socks.

buffalo soldier Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 couple of questions - are they completely burgundy, or are they the white ones with the solid stripe that they wear with the white pants. second question - just wondering, doesnt the nfl mandate that all socks are white with some kind of stripes? i thought i heard that rule before.

eqtmgr Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 The NFL requires that there is a color break in the sock. I just flipped past the game and looked at their socks. Honestly, I find nothing wrong with them. I really like the look that they have. Sometimes, tradition takes a back door to style.Mahalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGivens87 Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 I don't think they look that bad...I actually kinda like 'em better like this A large cheese pizza, just for me.New England's source for soccer newsAnd hey, I made it to ESPN!

DAJackson7 Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Not all of them are wearing them, just about half and half. So who gets fined, the ones with the white opnes or the ones with the burgendy ones? I like my women like i like my coffee, tied up in a burlap sack and thrown over the back of a donkey.

Chazberg Posted December 13, 2004 Author Share Posted December 13, 2004 i like the look. it has good balance. How can you say that??!! That's exactly what they had BEFORE when the socks matched the jersey and the pants matched the helmet-it was perfect!! NOW it is unbalanced!! QUOTE (eqtmgr @ Sunday, December 12th, 2004 - 21:05:12)The NFL requires that there is a color break in the sock. New OrleansJacksonvilleBaltimoreSan DiegoArizonaTennesseeCincinnati I don't really know what your point is with the teams listed; I think the "break" just means that the bottom has to be white (with the exception of Detroit on turkey day which s a throwback).The thing I don't understande is that people just seem bent on dumbing things down to the bare minimum. I mean, why would you want a solid red sock when you can have a striped one that perfectly compliments your jersey? It looks so much more classy and professional. I mean, can you imagine if the Bears went to solid navy blue socks with their blue pants? It's just amatuer looking. charles-noerenberg.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL at that comment! I agree with Chazberg does look unbalanced now. Having the top of your socks the same color as the pants looks awful.

Magus Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 the bigger question is whats with the deadskins obsessive compultion with wearing white jersey/ burgandy pants?

Ah OK....not sure if that's what they meant or not. I'm thinking of the solid tops of the socks....Magus - it's in response to Dallas wearing white at home. Washington did it to force Dallas into wearing the blue ones for once, and it just stuck. For a while in the 80's and 90's, the Eagles did the same thing, forcing Dallas to wear blue...

JamesCraven Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 And Mag, IMHO, if I was the Eagles, white against the 'Skins and 'Boys, green (or black) against everyone else...with the white pants of course.

ColeJ Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 i still don't see what the big deal is... it's just a sock. if portis had asked to change the helmets to white, or to change the jersey striping to match that of his high school team, i'd see a problem... but it's just socks.i consider myself overly obsessed with sports uniforms... but i probably wouldn't have noticed anything odd in those photos, if it weren't for this forum.what's next? making sure everyone wears the same color nose-strips?

hormone Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 You know who really started this? Deion Sanders when he modified the Reds unis that one year with the short sleves. This look for the Skins is terrible. I think the NFL should just get it over with and choose either white or dark for the whole season. If it weren't for the Cowboys and Redskins, they wouldn't even have to purchase a dark jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 I think the solid socks look really bush league.Also, I didn't want to start a new thread for this, so I'll mention it here. Did anyone notice how the stripes on Patrick Ramsay's sleeve are screened on (since he doesn't have elastic on his) and most everyone else's stripes are part of the elastic cuff (and much, much thinner?) (I know this pic. was from last year, but you get the point.)

Blue Falcon Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 the bigger question is whats with the deadskins obsessive compultion with wearing white jersey/ burgandy pants? Blame Joe Gibbs, he started it in '81 when he took over. He was under Coryell with the Chargers, who had made them wear white at home. Apparently Gibbs likes the team to look boring and generic, and you will only see the dark jerseys once this year...apparently Gibbs hates the throwback uni too.

andrewharrington Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 my comment about balance, was not entirely what i was going for. the word flow also fits here. i dont like it when you have alternating colors on a football uniform, i.e. burgundy/white/burgundy/white. i rather like to see it flow from one color to the next without too many breaks in the color. an exception for me is ohio state in grey, scarlet, grey, white. i like that one because its not alternating in a two-color pattern. i do also like the bucks in the grey/white/grey/white getup, though, so there are a few times when i like alternating color, but for the most part i like it when the socks are the same color as the pants on the away set, and they are the opposite color of the pants on the home set. its all personal preference guys, lets not attack anyones opinion.
