The 'W' undergoes a slight change from the Washington Football Team days and is given a 3-D look and a slanted turn. The crest celebrates the franchise's past with the 1932 founding date and the years of the five championships won, including the three Super Bowl wins.

The uniforms also celebrate the franchise's past by declaring its colors burgundy and gold "forever a tradition."

The biggest change from the new uniforms over the past is the font of the numbers. The past uniforms had a very traditional font, but the new uniforms offer a little more style in that department.

The road uniform, modeled by defensive end Chase Young, show off a dotted design that isn't seen too often by other NFL teams.

The one uniform that really showcases a change from the past is the team's black alternate jersey, one that the Commanders are calling "Black & Bold."

Along with the black jersey comes a black helmet, which will mark the first time a team will have multiple helmets after the NFL put an end to its one-helmet rule at the end of this season.

Of note: With their new black helmet, the Washington Commanders become the first team to unveil an alternate helmet since the NFL announced it was relaxing its one-helmet rule for the 2022 season and beyond.
