It is very refreshing having a professional answer questions. We are quite fortunate to have Rivera lead this group of young men.

Coach chose the all white uniforms. I love that.
Yeah, I dig the all-whites. Have since they first broke them out during Gibbs II.
The all-burgundy not so much. Too video-gamey.
Yeah, I know. Okay boomer.

Well, Mr. Clean cleaned the whole Heinz Stadium!!
Agreed. I'm kinda ignoring the helmet numbers. The color is meh without any kind of outlining or shadowing, and the font is every bit as inspired as the big W we're sporting in lieu of a logo. Wide-shot angles are okay though.
Figuring we'll keep the all-whites in the rotation once we finally have a new logo to slap on there. Then we can nitpick the eff outta that too.

This was what I wanted
Game recognizes game.
I like the all-whites as a change of pace, but I prefer the normal bi-colour uni's.
I HATE the burgundy/burdundy and I've never been a fan of the gold pants. To my eye they look awful.
Honestly on the helmets, I'd much prefer some outlining. I actually do really love the numbers concept.
I've said it before this season, the W logo, the name, the numbers, etc... It all FEELS no nonsense. Which is the vibe I get from Rivera himself. And it feels like that vibe is very much starting to rub off on the team.
Ron's said he wanted a culture change, and this 'no name but team' slogan and the fact they end their post game talks etc with the 'Team' thing really feels like they're affecting that change.
I haven't seen stuff happening in this team for a long time, and I really hope that this year is the turning point for our franchise. It's sad that it may have cost us our name to do it, but maybe that's the cost of how this once proud franchise had been run into the ground under previous administrations. Maybe a clean slate was always what was needed.
It's so weird now watching how the people currently steering the ship make the last few years look like amateur hour.

The whole “ losing the name is one of the factors to the team beginning a turnaround”- thing is, as Col. Sherman Potter would say, Horse Hockey......
To clarify... I'm not saying that losing the name is one of the key factors to turning the team around.
What I'm saying is that the ousting of Allen and the cleaning out of the old management and hiring RIvera and Wright were the catalysts for what we're seeing now.
As long as that had happened and the same culture had been established (or the foundations of such a culture) then we'd still be the where we are now, but with our name intact.
It would be the Washington Redskins sitting at 5-7. This change has more to do with the new people running the team like a professional outfit at last.

I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't like the white on white I just don't feel it at all LOL. To me nothing beats Burgundy tops with the gold pants IMO

You're not the only one. But hey, I kind of dug the all burgundy look that most hate
At this juncture, it is imperative to establish the distinction between gold and French's yellow mustard.
Left, sweet. Right, kill me.

Oh sweet Lord yes! The ones on the right aren't gold. They're mustard! Ugh!
I do kind of dig the retro colours, the only thing that's always bugged me is that the helmets don't match. I loved the leather effect helmets they used to wear with them, it was such a downer when the league stopped them doing that.
