The Washington Commanders are set to introduce an exciting alternate uniform in 2025 that pays homage to the franchise's storied past. Announced on Wednesday, this new "Super Bowl Era" uniform and helmet are inspired by the traditional look the team wore during its most successful seasons. Fans can expect to see this throwback design on the field, bringing back memories of the Commanders' glory days.
The revamped uniform features a classic white jersey paired with striking burgundy pants that boast gold and white stripes along the sides. The helmet, adorned with a prominent "W," includes two white stripes flanking a central gold stripe, complemented by a gold facemask. This design encapsulates the essence of the team’s history while appealing to both long-time supporters and new fans alike.
Commanders President Mark Clouse expressed enthusiasm about the new uniform, stating, “We are excited to celebrate Washington’s rich history with these iconic, Super Bowl Era uniforms this season.” He emphasized the importance of connecting the past with the present, noting that since the acquisition of the team by Josh Harris and his ownership group in 2023, there has been a concerted effort to honor the franchise's legacy.
The design of the uniform is a tribute to the uniforms worn during the Commanders' Super Bowl victories in 1982, 1987, and 1991. Clouse remarked, “These uniforms honor the most successful era of our franchise—one that reflects a culture of excellence and encompasses many historical moments and special memories amongst our fanbase.” This nostalgic approach aims to evoke a sense of pride and connection among fans who remember the team's achievements.
The Commanders will debut their new alternate uniform in a highly anticipated matchup against the Seattle Seahawks during Week 9 on Sunday Night Football. Additionally, fans can look forward to seeing the uniform in action against the Denver Broncos in Week 13 and the Dallas Cowboys in Week 17. This series of games will not only showcase the new look but also serve as a celebration of the team's heritage and community spirit.
As the Washington Commanders embrace their past while looking toward the future, the introduction of this alternate uniform is sure to resonate with fans and inspire a renewed sense of loyalty and excitement for the franchise.
