It's hard to imagine the Redskins wearing gold helmets with a red "R" on the side. Despite charges of politcal incorrectness, the indian on the side of the burgundy helmets is as much a part of the NFL as the Cowboy star, the Bear C and the Steeler hypocycloids.
BUY-- the current uniforms with burgundy pants and white jerseys at home more than stand the test of time...but there's one item I've seen in the Redskins store that I would jump over people to purchase: the road Jurgensen jersey from the George Allen era. It's still on my wishlist.
BURY-- the irony of Steve Spurrier coaching here during the 70th anniversary season was the "vintage" unis the Skins wore that year had an odd resemblence to Florida State. It's tough to get adjusted to the spear on the side of the helmet. Perhaps that's why things didn't work out under the ol' ballcoach.
BURN-- the all-white unis were lucky during the team's run from 5-6 to the NFC Divisional Playoffs, but it took way too long for this team to realize the mojo had been washed out during the offseason. What is this, Penn State?
Thanks for checking out our week-long look at uniforms in the DC area... any others that give you thrills, chills and spills? Leave us a note...
