Alternates are here
The Washington Commanders announced last week that a new alternate helmet and uniform were debuting today. The team has been using their current uniforms since Dan Snyder changed the name for a second time, and his wife Tanya helped design the much-maligned lineup.
Josh Harris leads the ownership group that bought the team, and reinvigorated the franchise. While he has repeatedly said the team isn’t going back to the Redskins name, he has committed to link the present to the past, and fixing the uniform issue is one of the ways he’s doing it.

The uniforms and helmet will be worn three times during the 2025 season and make their debut on Nov. 2 during the team’s Sunday Night Football matchup with the Seattle Seahawks. They will also be worn on Nov. 30 against the Denver Broncos and the team’s Christmas Day game, which will stream on Netflix, against the Dallas Cowboys.

“We are excited to celebrate Washington’s rich history with these iconic, Super Bowl Era uniforms this season,” Commanders Team President Mark Clouse said via press release. “Ever since Josh Harris and our ownership group acquired the team back in 2023, they’ve placed great value in finding ways to connect the past and present and pay homage to those that made the Burgundy & Gold what it is today.”
The new helmet and jersey debuted today, but they won’t be available to purchase until early September, and you can go to Fanatics to get a notification. They are expected to arrive before the team debuts them on the field at home against the Seattle Seahawks on November 2nd for Sunday Night Football.
