Washington Revives Iconic Gold Pants for 2024 Season

The gold is coming back to the Burgundy & Gold in a big way during the 2024 season. In a nod to the franchise's storied history, the Washington Commanders are reintroducing their signature gold pants as part of their uniform combinations this year. This decision comes after numerous fans expressed their desire to see the iconic look return.

While the specific games in which players will don the gold pants have yet to be determined, the excitement among the fan base is palpable. The gold pants, matching the solid color design of the burgundy and black pants already in the team's wardrobe, will be a regular part of the color combination for the first time since 2018. The last appearance of these pants was in Week 17 of the 2018 season against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Historically, Washington's gold pants have been a cornerstone of the franchise's identity since the team moved from Boston to the DMV in 1937. The franchise enjoyed some of its most successful years while wearing them, including two NFL championship seasons in 1937 and 1942.

After the 1978 season, the Commanders moved away from the gold pants, opting for either burgundy or white for the next 31 years. There were a few exceptions in 1994, 2002 (to honor the team's 70th anniversary), 2003, and 2007. The gold pants made a more consistent return as a primary uniform color in 2010, starting with a memorable Week 1 home win over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football, and remained a staple for the next eight seasons.

The revival of the gold pants is not just a fashion statement; it is a tribute to the team's rich legacy and a way to honor the memories of past triumphs. As the Washington Commanders gear up for the 2024 season, fans can look forward to seeing their team shine in the classic gold pants once again, bringing a touch of history back to the field.

Stay tuned for more updates on which games will feature the gold pants, and get ready to cheer on the Commanders as they blend tradition with the future.
