Where do the Commanders uniforms rank in the NFL?

The Commanders’ uniforms still aren’t very popular.

Who has the best and who has the worst NFL uniform?

On Tuesday, The 33rd Team posted their ranking of each of the NFL’s 32 teams, not by roster or wins and losses, but by uniforms. So, of course, it is almost entirely subjective. Yet some are clearly better or worse than others.

Some people really prefer a two-color scheme, while some prefer a three-color scheme in an NFL uniform.

One thing Commanders fans are most likely going to be singing in unison is that the Washington Redskins and even the Washington Football Team uniforms were superior to the current Commanders uniforms.

For instance, look at how the WFT uniform used the primary color of burgundy, with white pants, with the gold trim (facemask, numbering on the helmet, a gold strip on the pants, and gold boundary around the perimeter of the white numbers. Those were some sharply designed uniforms.

Then came the Commanders’ uniforms. First of all, the franchise colors are burgundy and gold. So, why on earth would you even consider black uniforms? Further, to have black uniforms only served to remind some of us of the Jim Zorn (maroon and black) comment. Many fans have stated they feel the “W” on the helmet is the best part of the new uniforms.  But one would be hard-pressed to explain how the white jersey is not clearly a move from the past tradition of the sharp burgundy and gold tradition. There have been fans, and even former players, telling of how the new uniforms looked too much like an expansion team.

As we see below, in this ranking, the Commanders were in the bottom fourth, coming in at 26th. Consequently, it is not merely Washington fans viewing this as a step backward from the “Football Team” uniforms.

Finally, here is a tier evaluation of NFL uniforms that you may have missed produced during the 2022 offseason. The Commanders did not fare well at all in this evaluation either.

But hey, if they are a winning team in 2023, it will make the new uniforms easier to accept. Winning cures all.
