The Washington Commanders are generating significant excitement regarding their alternate jerseys, particularly for the 2025 season. Multiple reliable sources, including local sports insider Kevin Sheehan, strongly suggest the team will introduce alternate uniforms next year that evoke their classic burgundy and gold aesthetic from the pre-Commanders rebrand era, specifically resembling the post-Redskins Washington Football Team’s look. Now,
a report states
that the new alternate jerseys and helmets will be unveiled on July 9th.
While the familiar color scheme and uniform style are expected to return, it’s crucial to note that the Redskins name and associated logos will not be featured. This move is widely seen as a strategic effort by the new ownership to re-engage the fanbase and honor the franchise’s rich history.
Speculation indicates that these classic-inspired uniforms will debut as alternates in 2025, with a possibility of a more permanent integration into the uniform rotation by 2026, mirroring a strategy recently employed by the New York Jets. An official unveiling for these new alternate uniforms is anticipated around July 9th, 2025, aligning with the typical NFL timeline for such announcements.
The team’s name will remain the Washington Commanders, and there are also whispers of minor adjustments to the existing black alternate jerseys, potentially involving the black helmets. It’s important to distinguish these franchise-specific uniform changes from the NFL’s new “Rivalries” uniform program, which will introduce community-inspired alternates for the NFC East in 2027. Ultimately, Commanders fans have strong reasons to anticipate a nostalgic and well-received return to a more traditional uniform appearance for at least some games in the upcoming season.
