What will the Commanders' helmets look like in 2026?
The Commanders have been dropping hints over the past year.
New uniforms , huh? So, we know the Washington Commanders owners are not going to put themselves through the politics of "Redskins" again. Remember, when the battle over the name was heating up, the other 31 NFL owners were nowhere to be found.
The NFL "brotherhood" of owners (pun intended) did not, in any way, provide any indication that they would support the old name again. So, the dignified logo of the 1972-2019 Redskins is not going to return. The owners don't want the trouble from the self-righteous opponents who would take up the cause, making their lives miserable.
Thus, what will the logo of the "new" uniforms be? It's the worst-kept secret that the uniforms won't be new but will be a return to the Super Bowl era, when the Redskins appeared in four Super Bowls, winning three. Those were the 1982, 1983, 1987 and 1991 seasons.
It is a reasonable question to ask about a logo on the helmet. Will the Super Bowl-era uniforms continue to feature the current "W" on the side of the helmet? There is also the understandable question about the spear.
