Commanders will be one of just five teams with a new helmet this year (https://www.si.com/nfl/commanders/news/nfl-washington-commanders-alternate-helmet-report)
Speculation is they will put the W on the sides of the black helmets to match the burgundy oneson the rfk stadium drawing JD5's helmet has a different logo. It's clearly not the W. I wrote it off to lack of concern on that detail but this report made me take a 2nd look.
if you zoom in you see it is some sort of logo, again probably not related but it intrigued me.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250507/b3da0eae0d395e004cd93bb7998d3c31.jpg

looks like some sort of AI rendering and nothing intentional

But, I didn't bring it up earlier because there's more than a 95% chance it's just an oversight. I did think with the helmet conversation now in play, it was worth pointing it out

WARRIORS is the only logical answer and always has been. I agree, Redskins will never come back
or Braves their original name

You actually nailed the problem with your response few like the uniforms and especially the black uniforms, the same can be said about the name. You'd think the franchise would at least try mitigating the disdain for the name by producing uniforms more in line with the Redskins tradition.

More fans may like them slightly more with the W helmets as it'd be more attention on the team and especially Washington DC. It is difficult to correlate the franchise with the color black since we're always burgundy and gold. Black unis still looks pretty slick imo and are eccentric.

I like them too, with some tweaks they could be even better
