Washington Commanders Unveil Redskins-Inspired Alternate Uniforms – SportsLogos.Net News
The Washington Commanders celebrated the franchise’s 93rd anniversary on Wednesday morning by unveiling a new alternate helmet and uniform that was heavily inspired by their 1979-2019 road design, which included three Super Bowl victories (XVII, XXII and XXVI).
The white jerseys feature burgundy numbers outlined in gold, a burgundy collar, burgundy and gold cuffs and numbers on the sleeves, though it lacks a wordmark above the numbers that was added in 2002.
The burgundy helmet prominently displays the Commanders’ primary “W” logo on the sides, but features a gold facemask – which became a fixture on the Redskins’ helmets in 1978 – and the classic striping pattern that first appeared in 1972.
The uniform is complete with burgundy pants, which include gold and white stripes down the sides, as well as white socks with a red and gold striping pattern. It’s also a significant departure from their current road design, which includes a minimal amount of gold.
The Commanders can wear the new throwback-inspired alternate uniforms and their existing black alternate uniforms, which were introduced alongside their current branding in 2022, in as many as four combined games this season.
It’s been reported that the new look will become part of a full redesign in 2026, similar to how the New York Jets wore their “New York Sack Exchange” throwback uniforms in 2023 and then promoted them to full-time road status in 2024.
The Jets also revealed matching green home and black alternate uniforms inspired by their 1978-89 design in that rollout, which means we should expect the Commanders do reveal a burgundy jersey, gold pants and (perhaps) a new black alternate design next summer.
