Our "yellow" isn't gold dude. Not sure where you went to school or learned colors but ours may be a darker shade of yellow but it isn't gold. @ color blind people including YOU |

soooooooo.. my point is I don't like the yellow pants cuz it's like a bad 'bite' job off the steelers and packers.
and yes, the red jerseys were indeed red.. not sure why people called those burgundy but whatever. |

I have to say I'm very surprised that there isn't a stronger connection from fans to the white jersey and burgundy pants option.
Having won three Super Bowls in those colours and worn them almost as a first choice be it home or away under Gibbs, I would have thought people would identify that as the look of the Redskins. Whenever I think if classic games and major success I see them in that kit (uniform).
I know older fans will think back to the 60s and 70s and associate the wearing of burgundy with gold pants with the Skins, but I honestly thought anyone born after 1970 would be as keen on the white and burgundy as I am.
For me it has a bit of class about it, its the look of success, of winners.
I understand people saying we should move on (it's 2012 man!) but I think classic looks command respect. Can you imagine the Steelers in an all white uniform, or all black or all yellow....?!?!? The Raiders in all black or all silver uniform...???
As a soccer fan, when the Brazil team aren't wearing yellow shirts, blue shorts and white socks then it just doesn't look right to me. Their results support that as well, with more defeats in their blue shirts or in white shorts than when they wear their 'classic' look.
That's how I see it anyway. I know success goes a lot deeper than how you look, but first of all get the players to respect the uniform and the opposition to fear it. Keep changing it and that becomes difficult.

| B and W for me. B and B easily the second favorite. I like the B and W because it has a shiny and new feel to it. Almost a you cant touch us feel to it. The B and B has a more business like feel. I like the B and B for away and Band W for home. |

I have NEVER seen us wear Red. I'm wearing a Caps shirt that is red and the Shins have never worn red. They have worn different shades of burgundy. And yes there are different shades of burgundy! Some burgundy is darker than others. Some of the burgundy the has won has come closer to red, but never reached red.
The "gold" we have worn for the past 30 years has been yellow. And since the human eye can't see yellow and many people interpret "yellow" much differently than others because our brains are trying to tell us what we are "not seeing" is yellow. |

Next favorite is burgundy on gold.
A far last place finish for me is that gods awful burgundy on burgundy |
Same views as mine and I voted accordingly.
Our choice is Joe Gibbs' choice: white on burgundy.
Those two:
White on burgundy, and burgundy on yellow could be our away and home inis.  |
