00:00Super Bowl era jersey for the Washington Commanders.
00:05It looks a lot like their former jerseys, but of course, you'll see on the far right,
00:10it is the updated logo and the updated team name, just in case you were peering and looking
00:16for something.
00:18The Super Bowl era uniform fit for old DC, as you will see there.
00:23The Commanders will wear this uniform three times on Sunday night football week nine,
00:28week 13, and against their bitter divisional foes, the Dallas Cowboys, week 17 on Christmas.
00:36Look, as we evolve as a society, things can't stay the same.
00:40We've seen that all throughout our culture here, right?
00:42But understand this, like rebranding of teams is a big deal, whether you're just changing
00:46the color, changing the team name.
00:48Sometimes it's hard to get used to.
00:50Like you trip me up talking about the athletics all the time.
00:53Sacramento, no, not really.
00:54I want to call them Oakland.
00:55Heck, I still call the Oakland Raiders the Raiders, as opposed to the Las Vegas Raiders.
00:59And same thing, it took, how long did it take for the San Diego Chargers rebuild or rebrand
01:03to the LA Chargers?
01:04I mean, that was one of the hardest ones to absolutely go about.
01:07Now, also in Major League Baseball, the Indians go to the Guardians.
01:09Guardians is a terrible name.
01:11It's stupid, but you just have to accept it at this point.
01:14Now, throughout history, like Washington and their former name, which was the Redskins
01:18here, was, you can't have that anymore.
01:20We understand that.
01:21But the rebrand of this team was embarrassing.
01:23Like the Washington football team, I would pull my hair out because of how stupid that
01:28was.
01:28You can come up with a new team name in a matter of seconds and get that right.
01:32But the fact that they went with the Washington football team really got to me here.
01:36But understand this, the rebrand to the Commanders, I don't love the name, but it's just, you know,
01:40like the Guardians, it's a terrible name.
01:41The Commanders is an awful name.
01:43But understand this, the rebranding also included, let's change the uniform and go a little bit
01:48different of red colors and burgundy colors.
01:50The Washington uniform has been atrocious since the name change.
01:54One of the worst in football, the most iconic uniforms you probably have in the NFL, down
01:59to the bottom of the trash heap that you probably didn't even want to buy a jersey if you're
02:02a Commanders fan.
02:03And it's, okay, here comes the rebrand.
02:05What's your logo?
02:06Like, what do you go by?
02:07Like, you know, the Eagle helmet that they have, the Rams helmet, like they're the Vikings
02:10helmet.
02:11Let's slap a computerized W that looked like it was from like Microsoft Paint of the 1990s.
02:17And that's what we'll go with, like the worst rebranding that you can have.
02:21So the uniforms were terrible.
02:22And now I see today, you know what?
02:24New ownership comes in.
02:26Magic Johnson of the boys, Josh Harris.
02:27You got your quarterback.
02:28You have a fantastic head coach.
02:31You bring an electric coordinator.
02:32You have an ugly stadium, which in a couple of years is going to turn into something brand
02:35new.
02:36It's sort of a rebirth in Washington out of love.
02:38Now, here's what gets on my nerves.
02:40You go back to the old uniforms, which are sensational here.
02:43You leave the stupid W on the helmet, which gets me upset.
02:46But you know what else gets me upset, Ben?
02:48Can you guess?
02:49Like, what would be making me upset about this beautiful uniform that they have?
02:54Can you maybe answer that question for me?
02:56What do you think it is?
02:57Like, what's getting me upset right now?
02:59I would, the only thing that I would think of, DRS, is the absence of an old logo.
03:06But you said that is not the case.
03:08So what exactly is getting you upset, Mr. Fashion Police?
03:12Yeah, I'll get to the helmet and how I want the change to be made in a few moments.
03:15But here's the thing that gets me upset.
03:17Your uniform right now, Washington, sucks.
03:20It's ugly.
03:21It's hideous.
03:22It's horrendous.
03:23So they go, we're bringing back these uniforms.
03:25And I'm just looking right now on social media.
03:27Everybody, this is tremendous.
03:29This is amazing.
03:30You know, I'm not even a Washington fan.
03:32Respect.
03:32Love that uniform.
03:33Get back to the basics at this point, right?
03:35And by the way, Washington, we're going to wear these three times a year.
03:38So you're going to have the suck uniforms the entire season.
03:41With three games, we'll give you with the best uniform.
03:45Those are the issues I have.
03:46The powder blues out for the Chargers.
03:48That should be every game.
03:49The Miami Dolphins old uniforms that they throw it back to.
03:52That should be your uniform.
03:53Not the trash you wear now.
03:55The Patriots.
03:56You ever see them throw back with a little football player on the helmet?
03:58It is beautiful.
03:59But let's keep the trash uniforms.
04:01Even my Philadelphia Eagles with, yes, oh, the Midnight Green, we win Super Bowls.
04:07That's a trash uniform.
04:09The Kelly Green should be worn every single week.
04:12Why do we do this?
04:13The most beautiful uniform you can construct and have in your hands.
04:17And you wear it two or three times a year.
04:20Why do we do this?
04:21Why do we do this, Ben?
04:23It upsets me more than anything should here.
04:25Wear your good uniforms.
04:27The fans want that uniform.
04:28Give it to them every single week.
04:32What is wrong with that?
