— Washington Commanders (@Commanders) July 9, 2024
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.

The Los Angeles Kings have officially unveiled their new home and road jerseys, reigniting a wave of nostalgia among their fan base. Announced on Wednesday, these jerseys mark a significant rebrand for the franchise, one that harks back to the glory days of the late 1980s and early 1990s.
For fans who closely followed the Stanley Cup playoffs, the new direction might not come as a surprise. During their three road games against the Edmonton Oilers, the Kings sported their alternate white sweaters featuring the iconic "chevron"-style logo. This logo, originally introduced in 1988 with the arrival of Wayne Gretzky, has made periodic appearances over the years. The angular design of the chevron logo, reminiscent of the automobile brand Chevrolet, has now officially replaced the "shield"-style logo that the team adopted in 2011-12.
Despite the success the Kings enjoyed with the shield logo, including two Stanley Cup victories, the allure of nostalgia proved too strong to ignore. "We’ve seen years of fans wearing that jersey, whether they had bought it recently through Mitchell & Ness or any of the other heritage brands, or had it back from the ’80s and ’90s when they first bought it and they still wear it," said Kings chief operating officer Kelly Cheeseman. "When you come to a Kings game, for better or for worse, you see a plethora of jerseys out there from all the different eras."
The decision to revert to the chevron logo was influenced by the fans' continued affection for the design. The Kings tested the waters with their heritage jersey in the 2019-20 season, incorporating the chevron logo with a "Forum blue" and gold scheme, which received strong reviews. "We started utilizing companies that have gone undefeated as brand partners to sell new merchandise with that inspiration in it," Cheeseman explained. "You started seeing the popularity and also new generations and new fans from different areas of the city going, ‘That’s cool if you want to be a part of it.’"
The Los Angeles Kings' latest rebrand taps into the powerful sentiment of nostalgia, reviving a beloved era in the team's history. By reintroducing the chevron-style logo, the franchise honors its past while appealing to both long-time supporters and new fans. As the Kings gear up for the 2024 season, these new jerseys symbolize a bridge between their storied history and a promising future.
The Premier Lacrosse League has unveiled special uniforms for all eight teams in honor of Indigenous Heritage weekend. This marks the fourth annual celebration of Indigenous Heritage by the PLL, highlighting the deep-rooted connections between lacrosse and Native American culture.
Lacrosse holds the title of the oldest team sport in North America, with origins tracing back to various Native communities. The PLL's special uniforms serve as a tribute to these Native American roots. The designs were crafted by Patrick Hunter, an Indigenous artist and designer, and draw inspiration from woodland art. This style of Native art is rooted in the "Ojibwe traditions of petroglyphs—drawings or carvings on rocks—and images made on birchbark scrolls," as described by the Minneapolis Institute of Art. The Ojibwe tribe is the most populous in North America.
"Woodland art began in the 70s in Ontario, Canada, made famous by artists like Norval Morrisseau and Daphne Odjig," Hunter explained. "When looking at woodland artwork... You can see the life force, soul, vibe, or spirit of what it is you're looking at." This vibrant and meaningful art style is reflected in the PLL uniforms, making each piece not only a sports uniform but a work of cultural significance.
Each team’s uniform is a reflection of the rich tradition and spirit of woodland art. Below, you can see the designs that will be showcased during Indigenous Heritage weekend:
These unique uniforms are a testament to the PLL's commitment to honoring the cultural heritage of lacrosse while supporting Indigenous communities. Tune in to ESPN+ to see these vibrant uniforms in action and celebrate the legacy of the sport.
