Unfortunately, I think that's going to be the intent for some teams going forward. It's the only way to explain the BFBS/Camo disaster and the fact that none of the jerseys compliment each other. Washington fits the bill since that city seems to have a lot of disaster projects coming out of it all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptay Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Washington's Band Will Return "Part of the Commanders' rebrand will include a revival of the franchise's marching band — which wasn't a feature of the organization's home games during the past two seasons — the team announced Thursday. 60 performers will make up the group, according to a press release, and it'll debut this summer at training camp. Co-owner Tanya Snyder helped design uniforms that will be burgundy and gold and contain other "new details." Dear God, they've done it AGAIN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, DCI bands have been getting new looks every year since 2016 so most of them are set to the program they're performing that year. I do feel like Snyder would probably copy Stanford just to show how "cool and hip" he is with the youngsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJWalker45 Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 I could see them taking that DC flag and making a fake rank out of it, so I see what you mean. Though then they'd get crap for calling themselves the commanders and putting sergeant's stripes on the uniforms. And I'd be happy to see them get that.

MJWalker45 Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Just now, dont care said: It wouldn’t even be sergeants rank, but corporal IF they use the DC flag and the marron stripes as the rank stripes, that's correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCarp1231 Posted May 7, 2022 Author Share Posted May 7, 2022 All of the practice jerseys feature “COMMANDERS” on the nameplates and most of the jerseys feature the player’s last name on the right upper chest, like a military uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes...done with a strip of tape or a bigger label either typed or handwritten--in this case, which covers the existing helmet stripe. Now observe below... 8 hours ago, Faxion said: New additions to the Washington helmet Player name and number to front! That helmet stripe is cut to accommodate the player name. That to me is on purpose, and given how everything else about this unison design seems to mimic combat uniforms, I'll bet that's being tested to be permanent. Plus, look how small that type is--no way you're reading that from more than about two feet away, certainly not from a glance across the field. As to the possible inspiration, well..we'll... Mind you, that was the now-outdated PASGT k-pod bucket; once the ACH came out around '03ish or so with the night vision scope clip affixed to the front, we obviously stopped wearing the name bands and ranks on the front. But yeah, I can clearly see where they dredged up those design ideas from. In the grand scheme of things, that detail of Turner's helmet doesn't bother me--not as c much as the whole rest of the brand does. (I may feel a concept design coming on...and I ain't done one in a looonnnggg time...) *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look real close you can see that the name and the numbers are on a single horizontal burgundy stripe that's placed over the gold stripe. Not to say all your other points don't work, tho. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing is cut. It is a piece of label tape applied (somewhat sloppily, I might add) on top of everything. This is for rookie minicamp. The coaches don't know the players by name and many of the UDFAs won't make the roster for camp, anyhow. This is common practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4_tattoos Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 I feel 100% safe in saying the NFL would not allow a team to have loose strands of tape across the front of the helmets. The tape is just there for identification purposes during camp. Teams at all levels of football do that. The commanders just got a little fancy and did it with team colored tape. Nothing more than that. Hotter Than July > Thriller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4_tattoos Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Take it with a grain of salt because it's a wiki, but this page is showing the Commanders "current uniforms" with a gold pants option.
