dennisbergan Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Steelers are in their throwbacks versus the BrownsProbably the last time we see those ugly-ass things, since the Stillers are getting a new throwemback for 2012.I'd be willing to bet the ranch that the Jets are in all green this weekend against the Chefs.

nuordr Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I hope they never wear the Florida State look ever again! I hate this set and for the record, I don't care if their gold pants are from another set, because they sure as hell look better than those boring ass white pants.

TruColor Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I still say they're yellow, as is the helmet, but that issue has long been debated on here I've been told ... These 2002's based on their '65 - '69 era will always be my favorites .... as I've mentioned many times prior ... The only other team I've seen use that particular shade of claret-burgundy was Arsenal in England during their final season at Highbury, as a throwback tribute.I hope they never wear the Florida State look ever again! I hate this set and for the record, I don't care if their gold pants are from another set, because they sure as hell look better than those boring ass white pants.Redskins came up with the helmet spear first. Florida State adopted after the Redskins dropped it.You can call it Yellow, Athletic Gold, Gold, Golden Yellow, Dark Yellow, etc. Doesn't matter. It's PANTONE 1235 C.That particular shade of Burgundy/Maroon was also used by the Hershey Bears (AHL) from 1969-1970 through 2001-2002, and Texas State U.-San Marcos. Oh - and the U. of Minnesota designates it for the use on their football helmets (uniforms are a different shade).Pretty unique, as far as these things go.

Perhaps they'll go back to these from the mid-'60s:If they just go back to block numbers and gray facemasks on the current uniform, and decide that's enough for an alternate, well, all of my rage.

DeFrank Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Thanks ColorWerx,I've totally gotten the problem with the gold pants. And in my opinion, they're too shiny. I was actually in a box seat for the Skins/Cards game this year, and the assisant coaches and Bruce Allen were in the next box. I held up a sign saying "Can I ask you a question" and he said... no.In my NFL Redesign I tried to unify the pants. concepts: washington football (2017) ... nfl (2013) ... yikes potd 10/20/12 origin story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramerica Industries Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Redskins did the Florida State look better than Florida State.And that's not even meant as a jab at the 'Noles - athletic gold looks better than the dull, muted khaki-gold FSU wears.

TruColor Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Here's the Redskins' fabric differences between the primary sets and the throwbacks:Primary Burgundy:Throwback Burgundy:(I'll mention it again - Pantone assigns those color descriptions to their Textile colors; the Redskins and/or the NFL doesn't have anything to do with them.)

Gothamite Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 The difference between the two is the result of Vince Lombardi's brother working for one of the uniform companies; he changed the supplier when he got to Washington so his brother could have the contract, and their stock colors didnt quite match what the Redskins had worn to that point.

DolphinManatee Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I have a question. Are the Dolphins going to wear their white-on-white uniforms again. Because this time of year it annoys me because it is not as hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember reading that somewhere. I also heard that they may use the 75th Anniversary version next season. I don't like either and all I want is for the Steelers to go back to block numbers.

See Red Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 i love how the skins didnt bother painting the field. just kiddingI actually like how they just kept the endzones instead of trying to quickly cover them up and make them look like crap which is usually the case in situations like this.
