Overview
- The club released a teaser video Thursday showing Nike and Riddell boxes rolled past vintage photos, ending with the message “NEW UNIFORMS APRIL 15.”
- Reporting indicates the Super Bowl‑era burgundy design is expected to become the primary home look in 2026, with a glossy helmet finish and no major logo change.
- The reveal comes eight days before the April 23 NFL draft, and Washington’s No. 7 pick positions the announcement to boost fan attention and pre‑draft jersey orders.
- Washington wore the Super Bowl‑era white jerseys as an alternate in three games in 2025 after reinstating gold pants in 2024, while the future of the black alternate remains uncertain.
- Team leaders have cast the retro direction as honoring the franchise’s most successful years, and a 2023 ownership change can expedite league approval for uniform shifts.
