What’s the worst jersey Washington has ever worn?

Which jersey was named worst in franchise history? And do you agree?

It didn’t go well when the Washington Football Team rebranded to the Commanders in February 2022. No matter how much team management and some of the team’s fans said they didn’t mind the new name or new look, it wasn’t the majority.

Some fans don’t mind the name “Commanders.” Others don’t mind the new jerseys. Some hate them both, while others—well, hate everything. But one thing most Washington fans can agree on is that the uniforms since 2022 do not come close to the old uniforms—even as the “Football Team” for two seasons.

So, what is the worst jersey the team has ever worn?

Christian D’Andrea from For The Win recently looked at the worst jersey ever worn by all 32 teams. For the Commanders, he picked the black alternates the team began using in 2022.

There are few misses in Washington’s arsenal. Their rebranding as the Commanders brought the opportunity to innovate and instead the franchise opted to throw a bunch of crap at the wall and see what stuck, all in the confines of a single blackout jersey. Plus, you can barely see the team’s classic red/burgundy. That’s too much, man.

We agree with D’Andrea that there are very few misses when it comes to jerseys in Washington’s 90-plus-year history. Washington’s classic burgundy and gold color scheme is iconic. And the black alternates completely avoid using the colors. That can’t happen. The white jerseys aren’t much better, either.

What do you think are the worst jerseys in franchise history?

Saints announce uniform combo for Week 15 vs. Giants

The Saints announced their uniform combo for Week 15’s game against the Giants: black jerseys and matching black pants

There it is: the New Orleans Saints (6-7) announced they will be wearing their black jerseys and matching black pants for Sunday’s kickoff with the New York Giants (5-8), an appropriate look for the final leg of their three-game homestand. The Saints badly need a win to stay alive in the NFC South title race and once again claw back to a .500 record with the regular season finale in sight.

If you’re curious, the Saints have worn this uniform combo in 89 games since the start of the 2006 season, logging a 52-37 record along the way. Here’s how that compares to the other kits used since 2006 (not including the controversial gold jerseys used in a loss back in 2003):

Saints will wear throwback uniforms for Week 14 game vs. Panthers

The New Orleans Saints will be breaking out their black and gold throwback uniforms for Week 14’s game with the Carolina Panthers:

This is cool: the New Orleans Saints will be breaking out their black and gold throwback uniforms for Week 14’s game with the Carolina Panthers, dusting them off for the second time in as many years (they were used in last season’s Week 11 win over the Los Angeles Rams after going on a long hiatus).

The Saints are 3-1 in these throwback kits dating back to 2006, with the only loss coming in a 2016 defeat to the Detroit Lions. They have the best win percentage (.750) in the old-school throwbacks, modeled after the team’s uniforms from the inaugural 1967 season jerseys and pants, of any uniform combo in the modern ear of Saints football.

Here’s how the Saints’ winning percentage in different uniforms compare since 2006, if you’re curious (not including the controversial gold jerseys used in a loss back in 2003):

Best photos of Packers wearing throwback uniforms during win over Chargers

The Packers beat the Chargers on Sunday and looked good doing it in their 1950s throwbacks.

The Green Bay Packers donned their 1950s styled throwback uniforms during a 23-20 win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday at Lambeau Field. The Packers are now 2-1 wearing the look since 2021.

In the sun during a ideal November day in Green Bay, the uniforms shined.

Here are the best photos of the Packers in the uniform Sunday:

Seahawks players ecstatic to wear throwback uniforms on Sunday

Seahawks players ecstatic to wear throwback uniforms on Sunday

The Seattle Seahawks announced in June they would be wearing their beloved throwback uniforms during their Week 8 game against the Cleveland Browns. Well guess what week it is, 12s? That’s right, it’s Browns week, and you know it only means one thing: for the first time since the 2001 season, the throwback uniforms are finally making their comeback!

Retro jerseys were always apart of Seahawks gameday among the 12th Man over the years. But if you visit Lumen Field on Sundays now, royal blue is everywhere. It’s not just the fans who are excited, but the players are hyped as well.

Following Seattle’s 20-10 win over the Cardinals, I had the opportunity to ask several players how they were feeling about wearing them. There was a clear consensus, as they all lit up with smiles when talking about the throwback threads.

Below are the comments from the players I interviewed when I asked the question “are you excited to wear the throwbacks next week?” It’s only fitting I start with the man the team picked to be the “face” of the official launch for the throwbacks.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba: “They look good, huh? I appreciate the media team for doing that, I know how big that is for our fans, the 12’s. Look good, feel good, play good!”

Geno Smith: “Super excited, can’t wait to have them on and see the fans! Everyone’s going to be excited about them.”

Jake Bobo: “I’m very excited, (the hat) is courtesy of equipment manager Erik Kennedy. (He) asked me if I wanted it, of course I’m going to say yeah! Big week, big week!”

Kenneth Walker III: “Yeah, definitely. We had a 90’s themed shoot some months ago. I like the throwbacks, it’s probably my favorite uniform right now.”

Jamal Adams: “I am! I am looking forward to that. I gotta work on my cleat game right now. Trying to customize something right now, hopefully I can get it in time, but I’m definitely looking forward to it.”

Of course, Adams might have some competition from one of his defensive teammates when it comes to the cleat game…

Jordyn Brooks: “Oh I can’t wait! I’ve got some cleats (to wear) in mind, will probably be the best on the team. Can’t wait to put those out.”

Bobby Wagner: “I am extremely excited to wear the throwbacks. I still think we should have black jerseys, but I am not going to complain.”

For those who do not know, Wagner has long been an advocate for an all-black Seahawks alternate uniform. While such a look could be cool, especially with some neon accents, I think it’s safe to say everyone is happy with the retro uniforms.

Notre Dame football’s all-time best throwback uniforms

The jerseys were great. The game was not.

Much has been made this week about a couple of NFL teams bringing back some of their best uniforms.  The Seattle Seahawks are bringing back what we call “The Mirer’s” in these parts while the Minnesota Vikings are bringing out their own “classic” look.

That news got me thinking about my favorite Notre Dame football throwback uniforms of all-time.  Listen, the Irish don’t change things up with their uniforms often, and when they do it’s rather minimal.  However, their throwbacks worn against USC in 2007 to recognize the 1977 green jersey game were classic.

Take a look back below of how great the Irish looked that day and try to forget the fact that the worst Notre Dame team most of us have ever seen lost 38-0 to their biggest rival that afternoon.

Seattle Seahawks throwing it back to ’90s uniforms against Browns

The Seahawks are bringing back some cool threads

The Cleveland Browns debuted new/old uniforms on Tuesday. A day later, the Seattle Seahawks showed off their throwbacks that will be worn when the team plays the AFC North foe in Week 8.

 

WATCH: Seahawks officially unveil throwback uniforms for 2023

At long last, the wait is finally over!

Seahawks fans, the wait is finally over! After announcing last year the beloved royal blue throwbacks would finally be making a comeback in 2023, Seattle has been slowly rolling out information regarding the threads. Fans hadn’t even seen a glimpse of them… until now, that is!

On Wednesday morning, bright and early, the Seahawks unveiled their iconic throwback uniforms in a creative 90’s-themed video with first round pick Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

Although Seattle is marketing these as a throwback to the 1990’s – as 90’s nostalgia is high these days – the Seahawks wore these uniforms in every decade until 2001. They will officially make their 2023 debut in Week 8 against the Cleveland Browns.

Finally, after all these years the long awaited Seattle Seahawks throwback uniforms will make their return! It was not long after the NFL finally amended their one-helmet policy that the Seahawks got the proverbial ball rolling on bringing back their iconic royal blue and silver look.

Although Seattle announced during their November game against the Raiders the throwbacks would be coming in 2023, we have yet to see a glimpse of them. However, this might not be for much longer.

On Twitter earlier this week, Seahawks safety Quandre Diggs seemed to tease a first look will be coming soon.

With the NFL finally changing the one-helmet policy, just about every team has adopted an alternate helmet. Many have simply chosen to have a different color – mostly black – but those with beloved original throwbacks have decided to turn back the clock.

Fortunately, the Seattle Seahawks are in the latter category. Gamedays in Seattle already feature plenty of royal throwbacks of Steve Largent, Cortez Kennedy and even Walter Jones. Now, a whole new generation will get to see their heroes in action.

Throwback uniform concept art designed by Seahawks fan

Well 12’s, what do you think?

The Seattle Seahawks are finally giving the 12th Man what they have been pining for, for years. In 2023, the Seahawks will finally wear their iconic throwback uniforms. Seattle officially announced the return of the beloved royal blue and silver threads during their November showdown with the Las Vegas Raiders. The Seahawks could even wear them twice this coming season.

The excitement of wearing throwbacks for the first time in what feels like a football lifetime has 12’s everywhere abuzz with excitement. One such fan, Sami Jarjour, founder of Sports On Tap Seattle, shared some interesting concept art of some modified Seahawks throwback uniforms.

Initially, Jarjour asked if fans would prefer a home or away style throwback uniform.

Considering Seattle is the only team in the NFL to have never worn white jerseys at home, it seems more likely the Seahawks will be rocking the royal blues in 2023. However, Jarjour took it a step further and asked fans online if they would like a modified “throwback” in green instead of blue.

Whatever Seattle is planning for their eventual throwback game(s), it’s safe to say it will be a sellout crowd at Lumen Field when it occurs.
