00:00They won't look like the team that we've watched the last four years.
00:03They're going to look more like the team we rooted for for 80-something years.
00:09Not all of us for the complete 80, but some for the complete 80.
00:15From what I can tell as the team has just released a video on X,
00:20it is kind of what we've talked about here for a long time now.
00:24It is the championship-era uniforms, both white and dark, with a black alternate.
00:35The helmet appears to be a W with a spear through it.
00:39That's what we had talked about, the spear making its way back into the logo,
00:43and the logo appears to be on the helmet, a W with a spear through the helmet.
00:50Am I missing anything? Because we have just seen this video for the first time.
00:54It's about a minute, six seconds.
00:56Three uniforms, all right?
00:58The white with the burgundy pants, very similar to what they wore in the alt games last year
01:05against Seattle, Denver, and the Cowboys, with the helmet being the W with the spear through it.
01:13That's what it looks like to me.
01:14Then they've got a dark uniform with white pants.
01:19That's exactly what they wore during the championship era when they wore dark.
01:22They had the true burgundy tops, the white pants, with the helmet with the W with the spear through it.
01:30And then the alt uniform appears to be the black.
01:33This is a bit different, though, because it's instead of the...
01:37Correct me if I'm wrong, because Max is more of a uniform expert,
01:40but the black alts from the last couple of years had the gold numbers.
01:45Yes.
01:46These are burgundy numbers, and they look great.
01:49To me, they do.
01:51The yellow trim on them really kind of adds to the accent, and I like it a lot.
01:55Yeah, so that's what we got.
01:58We got the three uniforms moving forward,
02:01and I'll just say what I've said about this because this is kind of what we were expecting to see
02:07on today, April 15th, when Josh Harris and the team put out the announcement two weeks ago
02:16that said new uniforms unveiled on April 15th,
02:21and Josh Harris in his interview out in Scottsdale during the league meetings
02:25talked about a bit of a surprise, and the surprise would be the spear.
02:29But we kind of had a sense because we've talked about the spear,
02:34and certainly those of you that are literally living in every single hint that's been dropped
02:41over the last several months had a sense of the spear.
02:45This isn't going to please everybody.
02:47I can tell you Kevin in Arlington already really, really upset
02:51because the W is still on the helmet.
02:54He just wanted the straight 60s Sonny Jurgensen, Jerry Smith, Charlie Taylor,
02:58spear, old school from way back in the day.
03:04But this is a spear through the W on the helmet,
03:06but the jerseys themselves are our true burgundy jerseys,
03:13dark white with the burgundy numerals and the burgundy pants.
03:17It looks like the team minus the logo on the helmet
03:21that represented our city for many, many years.
03:27There have been uniform iterations, even when they were the Redskins,
03:30over the many years that they were the Redskins,
03:33going back to 1937 when they arrived from Boston.
03:37But the championship era uniforms,
03:40the uniforms that Joe Gibbs presided over
03:43when they won three Super Bowls and went to four
03:46over the period of 81 through 91,
03:51but really in a 10-year span from 82 to 91.
03:55That's what is back.
03:56We obviously saw that with the three games last year.
04:02Look, this isn't going to please everybody,
04:06but I would like to say that from my standpoint,
04:12kind of understanding the complexities of everything
04:14and understanding what they've been up against
04:18from a team name, branding,
04:23the business surrounding all of it,
04:25and it's been a big challenge.
04:29I'm not shedding tears for their challenge.
04:31Their valuation on the franchise today is much higher
04:35than it was when they purchased the team
04:38a couple of years ago for $6 billion plus.
04:42They would get a lot more for the team
04:44if they were to put it on the market today.
04:47But this was the challenge.
04:50The business plan said,
04:51Dan Snyder's gone, people will come rushing back.
04:54But they knew.
04:55They knew there was one impediment to that.
04:58The name loss and what the team looked like
05:02in those jokes of uniforms
05:05that Jason Wright and company put together
05:08for one of the worst debuts I've ever seen
05:12for a new product in consumer product history on 2-2-22.
05:17This looks like our football team
05:19minus the logo on the helmet.
05:21And who knows, maybe somewhere down the road,
05:24maybe somewhere down the road,
05:26we can bring back the Blackie Wetzel logo
05:29that existed for this football team
05:31from 1972 through the 2019 season.
05:39I would love that.
05:40There was never anything offensive about it.
05:42But here we go.
05:43We've got it.
05:44This is kind of what we've been expecting.
05:46The big reveal for me, Max,
05:50and I'll let you kind of weigh in,
05:51is that we now know exactly
05:53what the helmet's going to look like, right?
05:56And it's the W with the spear through it.
05:59Yeah, that's the big, like, kind of alternate reveal.
06:02But another helmet reveal
06:04that I think is flying into the radar a little bit.
06:06Wait, wait, hold on.
06:06I want to be clear on something.
06:07Is that the alternate helmet?
06:10Yes.
06:10What's the regular helmet?
06:12The regular helmet is the helmet that we saw
06:15this past season with the alternate jerseys,
06:18the white championship era,
06:21except these helmets are,
06:23instead of the matte finish,
06:24they're glossy finish,
06:26just like they used to be.
06:27No, but what's on the helmet?
06:28Is it just the W?
06:29Yeah, it's still just the W.
06:30This is not an effective video, then.
06:33We see too much of the spear through the W here.
06:36Yeah, I do kind of agree.
06:38They are showcasing it quite a bit.
06:39Through this video, I'm sorry,
06:40I don't see one helmet with just the W.
06:43I only see the helmet with the spear going through it.
06:46But you're correct.
06:47It's the black helmet.
06:48So you're saying the spear through the W
06:50will only be for when they wear the black alts.
06:54Yes, that'll be on the alternate helmet
06:56for the alternate uniform.
06:57So don't expect to see the spear
06:59with the championship era burgundy and gold.
07:02Well, now it's very, very brief.
07:06I see it now.
07:10Yeah.
07:11All right.
07:12So I stand corrected.
07:14The helmet logo is the W.
07:18All right.
07:19I'll let Max talk about the matte versus the glossy here.
07:22The spear through the W is only for the black alt uniform,
07:28which I would imagine they would wear two times next year
07:31out of 17 games at home.
07:33You would think.
07:34They wore it once last year
07:36because they wore the other three alts,
07:39you know, which are now the permanents.
07:43But how many times do you think they'll wear the black alts?
07:46What did they?
07:46How many times did they wear the black alts in 2024?
07:48They wore it against the bears.
07:50That was it.
07:51That was it.
07:54Okay.
07:54So what else do you have on these uniforms?
07:58Just the glossy versus the matte is the big kind of change.
08:01No yellow pants is a big thing that I noticed
08:03because I think they're trying to break away from all of that.
08:07But yeah, the black uniforms I do like quite a bit.
08:10It feels like a fever dream almost
08:13because I've seen this jersey before
08:16with Clinton Portis' name on the back
08:17at, like, a water park at Six Flags America.
08:22Like, this feels like I've seen this black alternate before.
08:26I just can't place...
08:27And I've scoured the internet in the last 10 minutes
08:30to figure out where it potentially could have come from.
08:33But it looks just like an old fake Redskins jersey,
08:36which I don't hate.
08:39But they're getting back to the old color scheme,
08:42getting back to the old way,
08:44so it looks and feels like the same team
08:47that I grew up on, you grew up on.
08:49So, yeah, I'm a fan.
08:53Yeah, now that there's a couple of more tweets
08:55that they've just put out with everything.
08:59Behind the burgundy and gold.
09:01Okay, so it is the black helmet with just the spear.
09:04I actually don't mind.
09:05I like the insertion of the spear.
09:07I wish it were on the regular helmet
09:10for their burgundy jerseys
09:12and their white permanent jerseys.
09:15There's a breakdown of the burgundy jersey.
09:17Three-stripe glossy helmet, right?
09:19The three stripes, the two whites
09:20with the gold stripe in the middle.
09:23Yellow pants will also be.
09:24A gold face mask.
09:25I'm sorry, say again?
09:26The yellow pants will be an option.
09:27I stand corrected.
09:28Okay, I do see the yellow pants.
09:30Hold on for one second.
09:31Gold face mask.
09:33Gold and white sleeve stripes.
09:36This is the burgundy jersey.
09:37Okay, the primary burgundy jersey.
09:40There's a primary white
09:42and a primary burgundy.
09:43So taking a step back
09:45for those of you who are not uniform people
09:47because I'm not deep into the uniform detail
09:49but I understand what primary versus alt means.
09:53Their primary permanent uniforms now
09:56are the white with the burgundy pants
10:00and the burgundy top with the white pants.
10:03Okay, so what will they wear at home?
10:06I don't think they've revealed that yet.
10:09My guess is that their primary jersey at home
10:13would be the white tops
10:15because that's what it was during the championship era
10:17and that's what they wore last year at home
10:20when they wore these jerseys
10:22in their as alt jerseys
10:25against Seattle, Denver, and Dallas on Christmas Day.
10:28But the primary burgundy jersey,
10:31maybe they'll wear both at home.
10:33You know, it's kind of the trend in the NFL.
10:35Just a few teams left
10:37that are very consistent in what they wear at home.
10:40But the burgundy has a three-stripe glossy helmet
10:44with a gold face mask
10:46with golden white sleeve stripes,
10:49a number on the sleeve,
10:52solid block numbers,
10:54two-tone pants with stripes,
10:57a burgundy and gold stripe.
10:59The helmet is a burgundy helmet
11:02with the W on it.
11:04No spear.
11:05Got it?
11:07Now, they are showing the gold pants
11:11as a potential mix
11:13with the burgundy top
11:15as they do with the white top as well.
11:17They show in the primary jersey,
11:20and it's Jaden Daniels
11:21as the model here
11:23in what they've put out.
11:25He's wearing burgundy with white pants.
11:28But then they show three different setups,
11:31and it includes white pants,
11:34red pants, burgundy pants,
11:36and gold pants.
11:37Now, the gold pant history,
11:39I'll give it to you quickly.
11:41They wore gold pants
11:44through the 1978 season.
11:48And then in 1979,
11:50they went away from the gold pants.
11:52That was not a Joe Gibbs thing.
11:54They had moved on
11:55from the gold pants in 1979
11:57and had gone white with burgundy tops
12:00and burgundy with white tops.
12:02The gold pants were gone
12:04until Bruce Allen got back into town
12:08and took up his father's uniform in 2010,
12:11and they went back to the gold pants,
12:14definitely with the burgundy tops
12:16and sometimes with the white tops.
12:19But the burgundy top
12:21has three pant options,
12:25burgundy, white, and gold.
12:27My sense is that white will be the primary.
12:29Now we move to the white jersey.
12:32Three-stripe glossy helmet,
12:34same helmet with the W,
12:36no spear,
12:36gold face mask,
12:38burgundy gold sleeve stripes,
12:40burgundy collar,
12:42all right,
12:42solid block numbers.
12:44And then the mixes
12:45with the white top,
12:47and they've got Terry McLaurin
12:48modeling this one,
12:51are the white pants,
12:53the burgundy pants,
12:54which are the primary,
12:55and the gold pants.
12:57And then we go to the alt uniform,
12:59and that's the one
13:00that has the W helmet
13:01with the spear through it,
13:03and it's black all the way through.
13:05Black top with burgundy numerals,
13:08and then black pants
13:09with the burgundy and gold stripes.
13:12Okay.
13:15301-230-0980.
13:17Just go to their X account,
13:20you know,
13:20at Washington Commanders,
13:22and you'll see everything
13:24that they have put out
13:25on the big uniform reveal day.
13:29Look,
13:29I like what they are doing.
13:34This is out of,
13:36by the way,
13:37I believe,
13:38desire,
13:39because they hated everything
13:41that the team's been wearing
13:43since 2022 as well.
13:45But out of necessity,
13:46they have to put this team
13:49on the field
13:50in the closest
13:52to the past,
13:54you know,
13:54scenario that they can.
13:57So,
13:58I don't know.
13:59I like it.
14:01It's going to look more
14:01like our team.
14:02You're still going to get,
14:03you know,
14:04play-by-play announcers
14:05saying at the end
14:06of the first quarter,
14:07Eagles 10,
14:09Commanders 10.
14:11But,
14:11there's nothing we can do
14:13about that right now.
14:14And as far as the logo goes,
14:16we'll keep pushing.
14:17I personally think
14:18it's not dead.
14:19I think the old
14:20Blackie Wetzel logo
14:22has a chance
14:22at some point
14:23down the road
14:24to re-emerge
14:26in some way,
14:27shape,
14:27or form,
14:28including,
14:28I wouldn't discount it,
14:30you know,
14:31deep into the future
14:31as returning
14:33to the helmet.
14:34It was never offensive,
14:36never controversial.
14:38But,
14:39there you go.
