NFL Fans React To Washington Commanders' New Uniforms
When the Washington Commanders first rebranded several years ago they also made a number of sweeping changes to their uniforms that largely shied away from their past. But some new uniforms that the team introduced today will be embracing their storied history.
On Wednesday, the Commanders unveiled their new uniforms for the coming season. It's an almost thread-for-thread replica of their old uniforms, featuring a strong blend of burgundy, gold and white.
"Weaving past and present We're adding back the Super Bowl Era threads to our uniform rotation," the team announced.
The uniforms will be worn for three games to celebrate their Super Bowl wins. They will be worn on Sunday Night Football in Weeks 9 and 13 against the Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos respectively, and in Week 17 against the Dallas Cowboys on Christmas.
"Throwing it back. Running it forward," the team announced.
But as is so often the case, diehard fans of the Washington Commanders weren't satisfied with the change. Many have taken to the comments to once again demand that the team be restored to its previous nickname or logo:
"I love the unis, we just need the logo back some folks can argue the name is what it is but to me it is racist that we can't honor natives by using the old logo. What is racist about the logo? Indians logo was racist lol. Not a image of a actual native tho," one user argued.
"Only 3 games out of 17??? Come on guys nobody wants to see that other white uniform ever again. This should be our full time helmet and make the burgundy uniform match," wrote another.
"I suggest Josh Harris and his group request reps from native American tribes across the country to help the team come up with an acceptable way to honor them with a new name, logo and imagery. As smart as Harris is, can't help but think they'd be able to work something out."
"You guys nailed it, although it shouldn't have ever left. Feels like home again!"
It seems like the ship may have sailed on restoring Washington's nickname. But with the way they played last year, returning to the glory days isn't out of the question.NFL Fans React To Washington Commanders' New Uniforms first appeared on The Spun on Jul 9, 2025

Cleveland Browns reveal new 'Alpha Dawg' helmet, which is sponsored by DUDE Wipes
If at first you don't succeed − well, that's been a way of life for the Cleveland Browns during the past six decades or so. And, despite what you might think, that apparently includes their headgear. The only team in the NFL that doesn't sport any kind of logo on its helmets − and one of four to never reach the Super Bowl − is taking another stab at an alternate dome after occasionally wearing a white one the past two seasons. Wednesday, the Browns revealed a new-look lid that will be worn at times in 2025, one that features ... a lot of matte brown with orange stripes. The team is calling the new crown it's "Alpha Dawg," which, much to the delight of the internet, is sponsored by DUDE Wipes, the company even providing a statement with the team's news release. "As the kings of keeping things clean, we're here to back the Browns as they embrace a bold new look this season − with the launch of their all-brown alternate helmets," said Ryan Meegan, the co-founder and CMO of DUDE Wipes. "We're pumped to team up with the Browns for one of the most iconic helmet reveals the league has ever seen." Ironically, the "Alpha Dawg" helmets are the first brown ones the team has had since it was founded in 1946. They will be worn three times during the 2025 season in a monochromatic presentation along with the club's brown jerseys and pants. ''Alpha Dawg' embodies what we set out to be as the Cleveland Browns, the leaders of the pack. We're excited about this new alternate helmet and the ode it pays to the rich history of the color brown as part of our organization, switching it up from our iconic orange helmets,' said team executive vice president JW Johnson in a statement. Like the team's traditional orange helmets, the brown and white alternates feature no insignia and only employ three stripes down the centerline. Notably, a team that has never reached the Super Bowl, has gone 2-4 in the throwback white unis during the past two seasons and lost running back Nick Chubb to a devastating knee injury when they debuted in Week 2 of the 2023 season. The Browns originally wore white helmets when they were dominating the All-America Football Conference in the 1940s and during their first two years in the NFL (1950-51). The team switched to what's become its (regrettably?) signature orange helmets in 1952. The Browns, along with every other team, will be permitted to wear alternate and/or throwback uniforms a combined total of four times this season, up from three in previous years. .
