We agreed to wear them until we can figure out who is playing quarterback?

NFL rule apparently, though I hadn't heard of it until lately. As "Commanders" is on the uniform we are stuck with that too .

The NFL has a rule that one a team changes uniforms they cant change them again for 5 years.

With that said I'm curious of what Jason Wright has said about getting another version in 2024 with the fans help. Did the NFL make an exception or is he full of shit and trying to quell the crybabies who are bitching they didn't have any say? I'm guessing the latter.

The team officially updated the shield logo as seen here in the logo slick that was just reposted Thursday:

I didn’t know that. I am pretty sure the Ravens changed theirs within 5 years although there was trademark litigation going on at the time re the original shield logo with the flying “B”.

Yea that was definitely an exception due to the lawsuit they lost as you mentioned.

Wait, I thought the NFL didn't allow them to ?

EDIT: OMG they're even more incompetent than I thought:

"The league didn’t mind Washington changing the crest to the correct years (1983, 1987 & 1991); however, the team could not use the Roman numerals as the NFL owns copyrights on the Super Bowl games, including the Roman numerals for each game."

It’s an embarrassment that no matter what changes they make, the level of incompetence remains the same.

That's fn insane that they did not know how that works. I root for the stupidest, worst ran, foulest smelling organization. So at the end of the day it's really my fault if I'm pissed.

Just indicative that any real fan saw the discrepancy right away. The name, the logo and the crest reek of design by commitee, which is the norm these days, and a commitee of marketing men who were focused more on the 'look' rather than accuracy

I would just love to know what person or persons thought putting 83, 88 and 92 on that patch was a good idea. Who actually believed that would fly? They need a quality control person in management.

Jason Wright can go pound fucking rocks. Dan and Tayna can go on their mega boat ( I hope the Somolian pirates bum rush it) to France. Just one day get as far away from this franchise as you possibly can.

They changed it bravo to them for doing the right thing, people make mistakes.
