kmw_29 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 I have read that a lot of people like the new look with the gold pants, striped socks, etc. This viewpoint has been documented two weeks in a row now on Uniwatch. While I like the gold pants, I must say that the uniform is a mess! They have different stripe patterns for the helmet (3 stripes with space between them), jersey (two stripes), pants (three stripes close together), and socks. They need to unify the look in a hurry. It just looks so sloppy. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 I'd tend to agree somewhat, but the gold pants are so significant an upgrade that I don't really care.If anything, drop the sleeve stripes altogether.

But I'm not complaining.Thirded. I noticed the gold pants last week right away and was so happy to see them again this week. I didn't even notice the striping inconsistencies I was so delighted by the color combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Buffalo Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 I like the yellow pants (let's not kid ourselves into calling them gold, they are yellow. They wore gold pants when they wore their retro "spear" throwbacks a few years ago). The new (meaning current) look reminds me of my 1974 Coleco Electric Football Game players. It came with a set of maroon and blue torsos and sets of yellow and white legs. Most of the time i would put the Red Torsos on the Yellow legs and play Redskins vs. Bills.

When I saw Washington week one I thought "'current' above the waist,'retro' below the waist".

CS85 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 So wait wait, I don't know if I missed the train on this, but did the Redskins change their uni set for the remainder of the season? Including maroon at home? Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

chuckymack Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 The 'Skins shall wear maroon at home under Shanahan, and he made 'em wear the tremendous (albeit inconsistently striped) gold pants. Sigs are for sissies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOldRoman Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 I'd tend to agree somewhat, but the gold pants are so significant an upgrade that I don't really care.If anything, drop the sleeve stripes altogether.I disagree with both points. First off, keep the sleeve stripes at all cost. Even if they are bastardized, there is no reason every single jersey can't have a cuff on the sleeves with two stripes. As for the yellow pants, I like the look (when I squint and pretend the stripes are different), but I think the red jerseys with white pants is a great look. I don't get why people are so down on that look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get why people are so down on that look.I don't think people are necessarily down on the burgundy-over-white look (which I agree is a great look); but rather, more in love with burgundy over (athletic) gold. Which is also a great look--overall.Detail-wise, though, the mismatching stripe elements are a bit annoying. And speaking of which, I don't know how long they've been doing it, but it appears lately that the 'Skins have taken a page out of the Bears' book and relegated the sleeve "stripes" to the sleeve cuffs. Pretty slick. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty slick.I think the whole burgundy-over-gold look is shocking because it hasn't been seen in a while, at least in it not being part of a throwback set. They've basically taken their primary unif from helmet to jersey and added the pants and socks from throwback set they used a few years back. It's not uncommon for new coaches to want to change the look of their team either through they're own wants or a colaboration with management as well. Teams that come to mind are Holmgren/Seahawks, Parcells/Jets/Patriots and now Shanahan with the Skins'. When you deal with a team dictated as 'classic' such as the Redskins, Raiders, Browns, Packers, Steelers, Bears, you're only allowed to get away with so much from a fan perspective unless you truly don't give a s**t like the Vikings and Bengals!And yes to unihaloics like myself, the stripe theme or lack there of, does bother me but that's why we vent on boards like this. And yeah I've seen players on the Skins using the cuff for the stripes but the only thing that bugs me is that the top stripe stops midway through and becomes the bottom color? Haven't seen it done on a bears uni yet but I'll keep an eye out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varsity Blue Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 I was watching the Skins play the Texans yesterday and thinking, damn those are great looking uniforms.I love them in the gold pants and burgandy jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolvikings Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Generally, I love me some srtipey socks, but this look would be helped quite a bit if they'd wear the solid burgundy socks with them. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illini1 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 I love the yellow pants, but if they don't fix the striping so that the helmet, jersey and pants match it's going to drive me crazy. It'll be up there on my list with the Cowboys' numerous shades of silver and the Saints using three different colors of gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
