NFL commissioner Roger Goodell weighs in on the Commanders' new look
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell was asked about the Commanders' new uniforms and logo, which one group called "inappropriate."
When the Washington Commanders unveiled their new permanent uniforms last week, they also included new alternates and a new alternate helmet. The uniforms were a nod to the franchise's past, bringing back the Super Bowl-era uniforms. However, Washington took it a step further with the new logo, which featured the current block "W," but with a spear going through it.
Almost everyone loved the uniforms. Fans were ecstatic with the changes. But when we say almost everyone, well, there is someone out there who will complain about everything.
That's precisely what happened when the Association on American Indian Affairs called Washington's logo "disappointing and inappropriate. " The statement also added, "We are not your mascot. " The Commanders wisely ignored the comments, but what did the NFL think?
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell was in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on Wednesday in preparation for the 2026 NFL Draft, where Scott Abraham of ABC 7 in Washington, D. C. , caught up with him to ask his thoughts on the Commanders' changes.
