Some History
The year 1969 was bittersweet for Redskins. Fans marveled at Sonny Jurgensens pinpoint tosses, while they were forced to say goodbye to one legend Sam Huff, they got to say hello to another in Vince Lombardi.Lombardi would lead the Redskins to unfamiliar territory - they had a winning 7-5-2 season in 1969 - just their 4th winning season since 1946.
The NFL celebrated its 50th anniversary during the '69 season the patch on the left shoulder commemorates this milestone. All NFL teams wore this patch in 1969 - keep in mind that although the AFL and the NFL played each other by this time, they hadn't officially merged yet, thus you won't see NFL 50 patches on any of the 10 AFL teams in 1969.
A few other 69 home red uniform highlights: a white stripe was added to the Redskins pants, and by this time, horizontal white, yellow and maroon stripes were added to the sleeves. The helmet logo remains largely identical to the 1966 version.
