Redskins will wear burgundy jerseys at home in 2010 – DC Sports Bog, The Post
Through a Dallas Cowboys blog, Dan Steinberg has determined that the Washington Redskins will be wearing their burgundy jerseys at home for the 2010 entire regular season. While I prefer the traditional white jersey, burgundy pants combo, the burgundy at home has grown on me a little, especially when they are playing the New York Giants. But not when the Cowboys* come to town, that’s a major jersey foul.

Also, it will be interesting to see if the Redskins wear gold pants. GM Bruce Allen mentioned he was holding a pair back in the spring and that caused quite a commotion. The Redskins wore gold or yellow pants for much of their first 40 years in Washington, including the era that Allen’s father George was head coach. I suppose fans over 40 may be happy to see the gold pants because of nostalgia from their childhood, but the standard burgundy and white (and vice versa) look is superior. It was also the scheme that the Redskins wore during their glory days of the 1980s and early 1990s. I’ll take that over ketchup and mustard any day.

Of course, gold pants are better than the monochromatic look, especially the all burgundy look that has always ended in a loss.

*The Cowboys will not wear their standard blue jerseys once in the 2010 season, though they are wearing their stupid blue throwbacks on Thanksgiving.
