The Redskins Quarterbacks
Shripal brought us to the tunnel in time to see quarterbacks Mark Brunell, Jason Campbell, and Todd Collins take the field in their 1971 "throwback" uniforms.
This photo is now Flickr's most interesting photo for "Mark Brunell", "Jason Campbell", "Todd Collins", "Quarterbacks", and "FedEx Field".

Got to love those throwback helmuts! Watched the game here and still think they look great this season.

I agree they looked great. Plus I'm told they were designed by Vince Lombardi. How cool is that?

THey cought me off guard...I thought it was a college team at first. Hope that you had a great time. Nice set of photos too.

Wonderful colours and a great angle. Why weren't there many people in the stands and what is the significance of the uniforms? I never thought of American footballers as fashionistas! :)

The stands aren't full yet because this was well before the game began, when the players came onto the field for warm-ups. The uniforms are significant because they aren't the team's normal uniforms. It was part of a "throwback" day in which the teams wore uniforms from 1971. It's really a marketing gimmick so that the team can sell another design to fans who have to have everything.

Seeing as how I know every 1972 Redskin by their number....I sort of fell in love with this pic. :)

Did you have the Speedlight in your shoe? Or were you pointing it?
Scott Ableman (57 months ago | reply)
The speedlight was in the shoe with an omnibounce diffuser. The light was so harsh I decided to give it a shot. This was my favorite by far.
