The Washington Commanders have new uniforms. Well, they're old, but new again. Washington revealed its permanent new uniforms on Wednesday, with a nod to the franchise's past. Gone are the last remnants of the horrible February 2022 rebranding. Even the black alternates that debuted in 2022 were overhauled, too.
The Commanders first debuted the old look last season with white jerseys and burgundy pants for three home games. They were worn for three home games, with indications that they would be a more permanent look in 2026. Washington also brought back the burgundy jerseys and white pants as a part of the new, permanent look.
The helmets return to their old glossy look, rather than the matte look from the last four seasons. As far as the black alternates, they are completely different. They no longer look like cheap Steelers knockoffs. And the helmet now features the "W" logo with a spear.
As you'd expect, the new look has gone over well with Washington fans. Of course, you can't please everyone. So, while most reactions are positive, there will be some who hate everything.
Let's look at some of the initial reactions to the Commanders' new look.

Happy to see the return of burgundy and gold https://t.co/2UHklTyrcn

These black alternates are so much better than the ones the last group came out with.
Also, they are awesome. I love this. pic.twitter.com/wVAzMIW8LL

As expected, the Super Bowl Retros returned, with a simplistic black that matches the other two.
The black jerseys are much improved off of the last iteration.
I'm also pumped that the tri-stripe is here to stay, with pant stripes.
Regarding the black helmet. It's new, so I… https://t.co/saUqEYIOCb

I just sent my wife the images in a text with all the pictures of the new images.
"Wow. It makes me feel happy."

HOME RUN. Such an upgrade on their previous black uniforms.
Primetime game. Under the lights…these are going to pop. pic.twitter.com/TtMDu5Pxee

And Washington got FAR AWAY from the Pittsburgh Steeler ALT allegations with their new ones. There's no confusion whatsoever.

I like the Hail Raiser name attached to the black alternates, that’s tough.

Really love the different combos we can blend. Having the gold pants is key. pic.twitter.com/7fuai5ZDrH

First look at the Commanders new black uniform with an updated spear logo on the helmet
Do I think it’s necessary? Not really.
Is it a drastic upgrade? Absolutely. https://t.co/ElQqU5sLwFpic.twitter.com/SEiVGU7uwr

The Harris group is in the ultimate no win situation. They’re trying to thread the Native American needle without upsetting the woke crowd too much. All while the laziest hot take merchants in the game will trash everything new they see as “AI Slop”. The black helmet looks great.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again — the #Commanders finally have adults in charge, and it shows in every detail of these new uniforms.
The alternates don’t look like the Steelers. The spear through the W looks incredible.
The Burgundy & Gold stripes on the primary… pic.twitter.com/FB0t1KVoci

As a card-carrying member of Team Spear, thrilled to see it being worked in by the Commanders. Hoping this is a path toward future spear helmet primaries.
Key is making the spear the star of the show. Here, it's overwhelmed by the W and loses focus to the stripe. pic.twitter.com/8dE6DnZUGX

Much cleaner, much nicer. Little part of me thought they might do away with the block W and go spear across all jerseys/helmets but I think it looks fine. Combining the old school/new school rarely works but I think this is as good as it can get. https://t.co/gCOeRhztcY

Not coincidentally: The uniforms do not say Commanders at all.
Brilliant.

So simple and so clean.
No more ugly ass “ Commanders “ on the front.
It’s like seeing an old friend that was down bad but Looking better. Still got work to do. pic.twitter.com/SFBLbFT2yK
