Deep wine burgundy and gold is an aesthetically fantastic combination and OP should be ashamed of himself.

The Washington team has been an embarrassment forever. Don�t make me sad about the colors too.

I agree with this, Commies have one of the best color schemes of the NFL

At least one person in this thread isn't a complete Philistine

Perfect microcosm of a tepid, lovely franchise. Just the most anodyne, uninspiring poo poo imaginable.

I grew up a Washington fan via family and have grown to hate them more than the Cowboys.

Commanders?

Obviously better than the racist thing, but loving yikes what a poo poo name.

That name isn�t going to last. It is but the last of the innumerable indignities that Dan Snyder inflicted on a fanbase that used to be loud and loyal.

I don�t know what the future may hold but at least it won�t involve Dan Snyder..

I�m happy that Washington managed to shake free of that rear end in a top hat but he so badly poisoned the well for me that I can�t go back.

Outside of memories of watching the hogs road-grade for Riggins and Byner from my grandpas lap, there is no goodwill left.

Maybe I�ll �heal� by adopting another team eventually but I�ve got nearly two decades of pure NFL apathy under my belt.

Yeah it�s brutal.

I went to games at old RFK Stadium with my dad. I honestly have never seen a pro sports atmosphere that electric. And now, everyone feels the same way you do. .

Burgundy and gold seems like such a great color combo on paper but I can�t recall an uniform with that scheme that I actually liked.

Anybody got good examples?

I got asked to do a bunch of concepts that I've thought about posting here or digging up the Farthouse and posting there. One of them was the Boston Redskins / Boston Braves that' seems relevant to this discussion. It was based on both the helmet from the 60's and the letterhead design they used back when the team was still in Boston.

Edited to fix image

This is lovely. One minor suggestion - that color (with the slight brown undertone) maybe looks more maroon than burgundy. Burgundy has a slightly more purple undertone.

I admit that is some serious nit-picking by me, and my vision may be just off a little bit.
