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

Marcus Morris Taken Into Custody, Markieff Reacts To Arrest
Marcus Morris Taken Into Custody, Markieff Reacts To Arrest originally appeared on Fadeaway World. Former Los Angeles Clippers forward Marcus Morris was reportedly arrested in Florida and is being held without bond on a fraud charge. As reported by TMZ first, the statement read: "Marcus Morris Sr. has been arrested on a fraud charge in Florida ... TMZ has learned. The 13-year NBA veteran was taken into custody Sunday in Broward County, Florida, according to online booking records." The veteran forward was reportedly arrested on an out-of-state warrant for writing a bad check, implying that he bounced a check and is currently being held in custody for it. Morris has had run-ins with the authorities in the past as well. In 2012, the 35-year-old was charged with battery, leading him to enter a diversion program for rehabilitation purposes. In 2015, he was also charged with assault in an alleged brawl, but he was acquitted of these charges. The incident drew a direct response from his twin brother, Markieff. The former Lakers forward reacted to the news of his brother's arrest and tweeted: "The wording is crazy. Damn for that amount of money they'll embarrass you in the airport with your family. They got y'all really thinking bro did some fraud shit. They could have came to the crib for all that. When y'all hear the real story on this shit man. All I can say is Lesson learned. Bro will tell y'all tomorrow. This weird shit gave me a headache. Can't stop nothin!" The response from Markieff appears to present a positive outlook for the future as the matter seems to have been resolved. With implications that Marcus will be released soon to reveal the "real story," more information is expected to come to light. Update: The arrest was due to Morris' outstanding casino debt of over $1200, as per his agent. The Morris twins have been in the limelight as of late. Since Markieff's altercation with Nikola Jokic, the twins recently shared more on their beef with Jokic and his brothers. The back-and-forth has been an exciting sight for the fans. Marcus Morris Sr. was drafted by the Houston Rockets in 2011 with the 11th overall pick. After his rookie season, the forward was traded to the Phoenix Suns, where he was reunited with his brother. Morris has played on several teams throughout his career, including the Detroit Pistons, the Boston Celtics, and the Philadelphia 76ers. However, his brief stint with the Knicks and his time with the Clippers can be considered some of his most productive years in the league. With a career average of 12.0 points and 4.4 rebounds per game, Morris proved to be a solid role player on most teams he played for. Since playing with the 76ers and the Cavaliers in the 2023-24 season, Morris has remained a free story was originally reported by Fadeaway World on Jul 28, 2025, where it first appeared.

A bittersweet weekend for IndyCar's Arrow McLaren at Laguna Seca
On paper, it was a solid weekend for the papaya squad, Arrow McLaren. Christian Lundgaard scored a podium, Pato O'Ward was a solid fourth and Nolan Siegel led his first laps of the 2025 season. But it came with a disappointing conclusion for Siegel and a championship likely lost for O'Ward. Lundgaard was the star of the day for the group. O'Ward rolled off second, but the Dane finished there from seventh after pitting earlier than his rivals to gain ground with an undercut. That led him to third, where he used a bold overtake to sneak past Colton Herta for the runner-up spot. He didn't have the pace to challenge frontrunner Alex Palou after a couple late cautions, but held onto second to give the organization its 11th podium on the year - a new high mark for the squad. 'I knew that the pit sequences are really key here,' Lundgaard said of his run. 'We went into this race not knowing if it was going to be a red (tire) race or a prime race. It ended up being a red race and I just can't thank this team enough.' O'Ward put together a complete weekend, qualifying second and finishing fourth on a day where the strategy and speed didn't fall his way. It was a solid result that continued a streak of success for the Mexican star. He's finished seventh or better in nine of the past 10 races, with two wins and five podiums. In many years, that would be enough to challenge for his first IndyCar title. But the consistency has come in a dominant year for Palou. The Chip Ganassi Racing star's seven (now eight) wins left O'Ward in need of major gains in Laguna Seca to have a chance to close within reach for the championship. But after Palou's win, he now holds a 120-point championship advantage with just three races remaining. The Spaniard could clinch the title next time out at Portland International Raceway. Barring an absolute meltdown - and despite O'Ward's best efforts - the championship battle likely ended Sunday under the California sun. Nolan Siegel, Arrow McLaren Then, there was Siegel. Running in his home state, the Palo Alto native was the only driver not named Palou to lead laps on Sunday. An alternate strategy put him out front for 11 laps early on before Palou surged past him in turn 3. Even after that, Siegel was still positioned to make the most of a race he'd started 16th in. But that all fell apart in the closing stages, when Siegel went for a spin at the Corkscrew. He attempted to make a pass on Louis Foster, but made contact and briefly looped around before rolling on. Siegel ultimately took the checkered flag in 18th, continuing a streak of four-straight races with an average finish of 21.75 after he'd scored results of eighth and 11th at Road America and Mid-Ohio. In the end, every driver at Arrow McLaren showed promise in Laguna Seca. Two of the team's drivers finished in the top-four spots and the other led laps. But with Siegel showing his inexperience and Palou continuing to dominate, there was little else on offer to be joyous about in the Java House Grand Prix of Monterey.

Return to training camp vital for 49ers potential breakout star
The importance of second-year pro Ricky Pearsall's return isn't lost on 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan. After beginning training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list, Pearsall was activated on Sunday and enjoyed his first work of San Francisco training camp. Pearsall had been nursing a hamstring injury. Afterwards, Shanahan shared how excited the club was to have Pearsall back in the fold. "It was nice. Yeah, his rep count was really low. I think he got like eight reps today, but we'll see how he did with recovery and stuff. But I didn't hear any complaints and good first day back," Shanahan said. The 49ers still don't have a timetable on a return for star receiver Brandon Aiyuk. Meanwhile, the 49ers' leading receiver from last season, Jauan Jennings, exited Sunday's practice early with a calf injury. Jennings has reportedly been angling for a new contract as well. All of that ramps up the importance of Pearsall taking a step forward in 2025 and that starts with his availability during training camp. "Yeah, anybody who can make it through camp and doesn't have setbacks, it's going to always put them in a much better position. That's what I love. Working and practicing things get you better and when you're hurt you can't and it's frustrating for guys, but he overcame that last year. "If things happen this year, he will overcome that too, but that's why he is prepared so hard for this to try to get his body in a position to be able to make it through camp. And I know he had a setback in OTAs with his hamstring, but he's worked as hard as anyone this offseason and hopefully have some better luck," Shanahan said. Pearsall missed the first six games of last season after being shot during an attempted robbery. The 6-foot-3, 189-pound receiver played in 11 games, started four and caught 31 passes for 400 yards and three scores during his rookie campaign. A big chunk of that production came during San Francisco's final two games of 2024 when Pearsall reeled in 14 catches for 210 yards and two article originally appeared on Niners Wire: 49ers news: Ricky Pearsall's return to practice an important step
