The yellow helmet they used in 70 and 71 were designed by Vince Lombardi himself who wanted his new team to look more like his old team the Green Bay Packers, but unfortunately he never got to see them in a game as he died just before the start of the 1970 season. Around here in he DC area those helmets are called the "Lombardi R" helmet
3:03 The 1982 logo wasn't supposed to be any different than 81 or 83, but the adhesive on the decals was defective to the point that they redesigned the logo to get the decals to stick. Joe Washington wore the more traditional logo because he wore a different brand helmet and didn't have the adhesive problem.
The 1978-2019 burgundy and 24 karat gold with some white is by far my favorite helmet. To me, the team is the Skins so my favorite team name is the Skins. All Skins football!!! The team doesn't need any black; they already have iconic burgundy, gold and some white.
Jay no way! Washington fan here, i can't say the word Comm...Comma...Com. I just can't say it. Redskins forever & i hope they bring the name back soon. Steve is right on the money, it's one of the best looking helmets ever. Cheers from Down Under.
I liked the burgundy helmets with the yellow facemask. Hate the football team and helmet same with the commanders. I wish they would bring back the Redskins name.
For me its: 1. 78-19 Redskins 2. 2012 leather helmet 3. Spear helmet (which we had before FSU btw) 4. Yellow Lombardi R's 5. The 50s/60s feather back (not in this video) 6. 2013-2019 "alternate" (stripeless 78-19) 7 thru whatever. Every other NFL teams helmet (minus Cowboys, Eagles, Giants) Shit: Burgundy Commies Ultra shit: Black Commies Our current commie uniforms are so MF bad. I hate them
I totally agree with your list, the only change I would make is I would bring the feather back helmet up in front of the yellow Lombardy hours and in front of the 2012 leather helmet but not ahead of the Spear helmet. And by saying that I date myself. But that's the only change I would make to your list all in all I like your overall list I think it's spot on. What I've stated previously are the only changes I would make but that's just my opinion personally. I can still remember going to games as a kid and I mean as a young grade school kid with my grandfather when the Redskins still wore the featherback helmets before transitioning into the spear helmets. Those were the days, we didn't win all that much, but from a young kid perspective those were the days. My uncle used to work at a bar as a bartender part-time for a second income at a bar on Wisconsin Avenue called Maggie's. Big Time Watering Hole for a number of the Redskins back in the day. Favorite watering hole for Sonny Jurgensen and Sonny liked his water if you know what I mean.And I can remember mumy uncle showing up at our house with various autographs, including Sonny's. Also, there was huge excitement in our neighborhood in 1965 when Ray Schoenke became a member of the Washington Redskins as an offensive guard and moved down the street five houses from ours. Ray, a native Hawaiian/American went on to play guard quite a few years for the Redskins at an All-Pro level.
Favorite team name obviously is Redskins. Favorite helmet is the ‘79-2019 version. I do not even recognize nor support the name change, nor the new helmets or uniforms. Leave tradition alone.
Classic Washington Redskins: 1978-2019! All of that all day long please! They’re a generic afterthought much like Cleveland now. So stupid! I wince whenever I might see the Redskins play now as Commanders; Absolutely Awful, the new name and uniforms!
