DeFrank Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 From the Redskins Facebook page. Looks pretty good, similar to the 75th.We know throwbacks will be unveiled on May 10th at a private event. concepts: washington football (2017) ... nfl (2013) ... yikes potd 10/20/12 origin story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrySmalls Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Similar? That's exactly the same patch as the previous anniversary one except for swapping 75 with 80. Besides, I didn't know that an 80th anniversary was significant in sports other than the sports team, in this case the Redskins, trying to increase merchandise sales.

WSU151 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Hopefully they have a better logo than a re-take of the 75th. If not, it's extremely lazy. Besides, I didn't know that an anniversary was significant in sports other than the Redskins trying to increase merchandise sales.What do you mean? Anniversaries are always being celebrated in sports. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knnhrvy16 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 We know throwbacks will be unveiled on May 10th at a private event.Has there been any indication as to which uniform they're throwing back to? The opinions I express are mine, and mine only. If I am to express them, it is not to say you or anyone else is wrong, and certainly not to say that I am right.

NJTank Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 I would love to see the spear return that was a great helmet. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It kind of waters down the idea of celebrating an anniversary if you're going to celebrate every 5 years. Something big like a centennial won't have as much merit to it if you recently did a 95th and are going to celebrate a 105th. IMO, the only anniversaries that should be celebrated are every multiple of 25 and the 10th. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature.

CrazyAnna Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Aren't the Redskins playing in Dallas on Thanksgiving? If so, I'm thinking it's a white throwback since the Cowboys throwback is usually that blue one with the big shoulder stars. The Pike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeFrank Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 I'm going to guess a color throwback, as the removal of the gold pants in the regular set has left them with one home combo (I pray the all burgundy never sees the light of day again). Perhaps gold helmets with burgundy jerseys and gold pants, with striping similar to that of the Allen era. concepts: washington football (2017) ... nfl (2013) ... yikes potd 10/20/12 origin story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every decade, plus the 25 year dates. New teams often do a 5 year, which is fine with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmu599 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 When I first saw this post and spotted the 80th anniversary logo, I thought it was just a quick mock-up that they'd use until the 80th anniversary throwback/fauxback was introduced on Thursday. After searching the web and the 'Skins Facebook page, it looks like that's what they'll be going with.It was a cool logo the first time around, but reusing it is just lazy.

Bravo96 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Anniversary dates that are acceptable:5, 10, 25, 50, 75, 90 (because that is a DANG long time), 100 Click the Banner - Join the Movement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportstar1212 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 There should really be a rule regarding what anniversaries you are allowed to celebrate. I think the ones allowed should be 5, 10, 25, 50, 75, and 100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to casually dismiss 80, but to say that 90 is ok because it's a DANG long time seems arbitrary (as in, 80 is ALSO a dang long time). Why not celebrate 40, because it is 15 afer 25, and still 10 before 50? It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
