The 2024 season will be the first time since 2018 that Washington has donned the gold pants. The franchise first began wearing them after moving to D.C. from Boston in 1937. After being part of the uniform rotation for 40 years, the gold pants disappeared in the late 1970s and were not part of Washington’s Super Bowl teams in the 1980s and early 90s.
There were rare occasions that the team brought them back, but it wasn’t until former team president Bruce Allen came to Washington ahead of the 2010 season that the gold pants were officially a part of the team’s uniform rotation. Allen, whose father George was a legendary head coach of the Redskins in the 1970s, was a fan of the look.
The Commanders did not reveal which games they would wear the gold pants in 2024.
