The worst part about the rebrand was that it rendered a classic brand/logo/scheme obsolete. Ninety years of history was turned into expansion-level designs that don’t elicit nostalgia or generational love, like the Eagles Kelly Greens or Giants 80s retro looks. Hate the Eagles, but their look on Sunday against the Bills was perfect.

While I’m aware a Redskins reboot is the longest of shots, my hope for the future is that our catalog of classic uniforms, with some variation of the old logo and helmet stripes, get incorporated into Josh Harris version of Washington football. Part of paying 6 billion for this team has to be a nod that they are sitting on 90-year-old classic branding that will generate fan nostalgia and enthusiasm.

    My 7 year old son said “dad did the eagles get new uniforms?” I explained throwbacks to him and he asked “what about the Commanders throwbacks?”

    Super sad revelation for me. Lot of good feelings about the old skins uniforms. Never gonna see them again.

    We can still wear all of our old gear, we just have to remove the redskins and native American imagery.

    I know I’m in the minority but I love the fact that as an organization we are finally looking forward. I love the new uniforms (the white jersey needs some tweaking). The new name is corny but it will become more normal as time goes on. We will hopefully put a great front office together to help us win. There is so much positive things happening right now that it is worth not having a “throwback jersey” right now.

    Hopefully Harris can at least bring back the old uniforms and name them after an OG player. Sean Taylor?

    I mean the titans use oiler throwbacks so maybe we can one day use our old throwbacks and bring awareness to some Native American tribes during those games

    We’re not going back to any Native American imagery, but there’s no reason not to display the old colors.

    All I know is that uniform needs to be their permanent look. Philly fans don’t deserve the Eagles

    I don’t see why you couldn’t do the arrows on the helmet. Just stay away from the word redskins to keep big companies happy. No reason chiefs can do what they do and we can’t have a fucking arrow on ours. Hopefully Harris has some balls on him
