After a surprise run to the NFC championship game in 2024 behind a Rookie of the Year-winning season from quarterback Jayden Daniels, the Commanders went just 5–12 in '25 and missed the postseason—falling well short of expectations. Now, entering a pivotal 2026 campaign, Washington is looking to re-establish itself among the league's best—and will do so with a brand new uniform set.
The Commanders unveiled on Wednesday morning threads that, as owner Josh Harris explained, honor the team's past while looking toward the future. “Updating but not forgetting about our heritage, who we are, and honoring that," Harris explained of the new kits. “ ... We're going to continue to embrace our past, but then update it.” This is Washington's second uniform reset since changing its team name ahead of the 2020 NFL season. They also brought back their signature gold pants in 2024 and debuted “Super Bowl era” throwbacks last season.
