The Commanders' new uniforms are fire, but going back to the future can stir up old flames

ASHBURN, Va. — This is not my lane, usually.But they’re pretty dope.“I just got the new helmet in my office,” GM Adam Peters said at his pre-draft presser Thursday. “Looks a lot better.”The Commanders certainly inched as close as they could to their old name and logo with their unveiling Wednesday of the team’s 2026 regular and alternate jerseys and new helmets. It was little surprise that the team officially will be going back to its white, former “throwback” jerseys, the ones it wore while winning three Super Bowl titles in the 1980s and ’90s, and wore multiple times last season — as one of its primary uniforms next season. A burgundy jersey will be the other primary set.Advertisement
