Blue Falcon Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 On the Joe "I Only Came Back for the Money" Gibbs Show last night, he was asked about this. He basically said it was Clinton Portis, who apparently has an unhealthy attraction to the all-burgundy socks, and the all-white uni is the only one he can wear them with without getting fined the amount of his next child-support payment.

Well, that gives me some hope that we won't see them in all burgundy any time soon...as Portis doesn't like the socks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hormone Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 I'm rarely a fan of white/white when there is a colored helmet, but I like these. It's cool for a game or two. It's really cool for something different when you wear the same uniform 15 times a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VitaminD Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 I don't like it when people refer to white/white as monochrome. The 'skins looked good. What would you prefer people call a football uniform whose jersey and pants are the same color, even if it's white?All-white uniforms are more readily accepted than team colored monochromes because the accents on an all-white uniform are invariably in the team colors, whereas the accents on an all-colored monochrome are usually white. But they're still monochromes, whether you like calling them so or not. "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it... In old New York..."In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braden Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 what they need to do is wear thier dark jerseys at home and only wear the whites on the road.(same goes for all other teams that wear white at home. Cowboys, Dolphins, Im looking at you) Tradition is what's keeping the Cowboys from doing it, but the Dolphins do it cause of the heat. And it works.Nothing thrills me more than to see a team like Oakland come into Miami in the first few weeks and melt in the Florida sun in their Black jerseys. It would be stupid to give that advantage of wearing white week after week to the visiting team. They still wear the Aqua jerseys at home night games, but because of their bad season last year they don't have any night games this season (you should be used to that anyways ICS ).Plus, the white jersey is far superior than the Aqua jersey. Looks even better with the white pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STL FANATIC Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 I don't like it when people refer to white/white as monochrome. The 'skins looked good. I don't like it when they don't, heh.Anyways, this look actually works well, and I generally dislike white on white.Maybe it's the maroon socks that offset it, but I think it looks real sharp. Could also be playing in a dome on FieldTurf that keeps it looking so clean. JUSTIN STRIEBEL | PORTFOLIO | RESUME | CONTACT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really cool for something different when you wear the same uniform 15 times a year. Gibbs would wear the same uniform for all 16 games if he could, he's said that before. That's why I always say he should be forced to wear the same clothes on the sidelines for all those games too...including the same underwear.

It would be stupid to give that advantage of wearing white week after week to the visiting team. The truth is that wearing white at home for hot games doesn't give much of an advantage...those teams have won 52% of the games from 2001-2005 so far, hardly a decisive advantage. I'd like to see the NFL put an end to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Falcon Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 worst post of the yearwasn't funny... gibbs didn't "just come back for the money" and portis doesn't pay child-support Then why did Gibbs come back? Certainly not because he had mor innovative offensive ideas to try out on the field...any team that runs Portis on 13 out of 14 first downs is too predictable. They have shown none of the creativity that used to be a hallmark of Gibbs' previous teams.And I'm not slamming him for this...he's gettin' old and needs $$$ for retirement.As far as Portis, maybe I just assumed he had kids out of wedlock like 90% of the rest of the professional sports players in the world.

leopard88 Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 As far as Portis, maybe I just assumed he had kids out of wedlock like 90% of the rest of the professional sports players in the world. Generalization alert!! I would not be surprised if a study showed that the percentage of athletes with out-of-wedlock children exceeds that of the general population (though I do not profess to know either way). In any case, even though I know you weren't being serious, someone is bound to call you on this. Therefore, I decided to jump in to bring it up instead of letting someone else read the riot act first.No need to respond, because (as noted) I know you were just screwing around.

NissanNut Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Redskins in all white is a pretty sharp look. I like the the red pants, too... classic. Maybe they should go with red pants at home and white pants on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
