Seen this on IG. I wish we could at least use the spear on the helmets

I can see it now “DC Football team changes logo to spear, white people in the DMV become upset over spear saying it is insensitive and take to the streets to protest in dc too compensate for their white guilt” News at 11
sad they eradicated any tribute to NA imagery
like, this would have been harmless. someday I hope the HOG has the sense to put this as a proper alternate instead of the black uniforms. If we could wear these as an alternate once or twice a year it would be fire
This is so much better than what we have now
I say going Roman Greco warrior with spear and just be Warriors or Legion.
What’s the spear for?
70th anniversary uniforms were the best we ever had
Not this again.
Absolute fire! 🔥
Not a fan of the pants. What up with no stripes? All the teams that have none look like they are wearing yoga pants.
I do like the shade of burgundy though.
If they are going to rebrand which seems likely why would they do this and then change it like 2 years
These are sooooo good!
Let’s hope. Look cool.
Just get rid of the matte on our helmets at least!
1. Change name to Warriors. 2. Remove feather from spear. 3. Profit.
Washington Spearchuckers
Agree.
DC Anacostians, DC Cherokee, DC Pamunkey, DC Piscataway or any other local native tribe that would have blessed the name was the easy win and kept the imagery
As a sub we really need to give up on this. Its not happening and we don’t need weekly posts about it
This looks sweet! I would buy a bunch of merch with look.
1,000x times better than the ketchup and mustard we just rocked.
I like the W. Love the black jerseys with the W on the front of the helmet.
My only complaint is that the white jerseys should have some gold on them. I think the lack of gold makes the burgundy look too red.
Are the chances really nonexistent that we’ll get the name back?
The Spear is my all time favorite helmet. Just simple and clean.
I think the fanbase and the team identity would be served well by simply changing the name to “Braves” instead of “Redskins.” There is something satisfying about going back to their OLD name, which was the (Boston) Braves. Then, bring back the old logos, which exactly no one could argue are racist or problematic. Go back to the identity of the team, including a new / old name like Braves. “Braves on the warpath, fight for old DC”:)
We can. They need to rebrand to these
I wish we could just start using our real name in public again.
This would be such an easy W for the ownership, it’s a no brainer, I hope they can incorporate something like this. Fans should work together to bring it to his attention.
Yeah no bullshit , this is true burgundy and gold , not the bullshit red and yellow we have now , and the spear goes hard as fuck. We need to start a petition to bring these back, why can’t this be the commanders Logo ?? I know myself and at least a dozen other people I know that would sign that shit
The best throwback uniform by far
Spears are from so many different past militaries. So are arrows (thus arrowheads.) They are not owned by Native Americans.
I do not see how a spear is offensive. A lot of cultures used spears. Natives, Africans, Vikings, Mongolians, etc. we should bring it back. This concept uni looks sick!
