The Washington Redskins will commemorate their 80th anniversary this season by wearing throwback uniforms in two of the team's 16 regular-season games. The Skins unveiled the Nike-designed throwbacks during the Thursday evening launch of their season-long 80th anniversary campaign. The most notable change is the helmet, which was designed to resemble the old leather versions used in 1932. Nike did an impressive job with the all-brown helmets, which even replicate the leather texture when viewed up close.
