Commanders just teased the move that fans have been begging for

While most fans were firmly focused on the Super Bowl clash between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots, the Washington Commanders had other priorities. This involved teasing a potential move that fans have been begging for.

The signs were there last season. Washington introduced its new Super Bowl-era throwback uniforms, embracing the past while also focusing on the future. They were a big hit, reflecting Josh Harris' desire to return the club to its roots, even though it's a new name and a new era.

Now, these uniforms could become the foundation of the team's fabric.

Commanders tease potential uniform change and fans are buzzing

That's what the Commanders' latest social media post seemed to suggest. And it caused an inevitable stir among fans.

Nobody needs to go over how Dan Snyder botched the rebrand. His interest in the club had diminished almost completely by this point, and the Commanders' downward spiral to rock bottom or worse was gradual and depressing in equal measure. Harris has no such lack of enthusiasm, and even though the repair job is far from complete, this organization is on the right track.

Massive upgrades to player facilities. A new venue at the old RFK Stadium site is set to be completed by 2030. Washington will host the 2027 NFL Draft, and the strong connections with former players and team legends have been restored.

The uniform change, if that's what this is, may not seem that significant in the grand scheme of things. But for those who devote themselves to Washington football, even through some extremely dark days, it brings an extra sense of belonging.

This represents preserving historical traditions while moving forward toward what we hope will be a prosperous period in franchise history. Harris was a fan first, so he knows the importance of the little things. The uniform is just one of them, and fans will be absolutely thrilled if throwback jerseys become a permanent feature.

There is a long way to go and a lot of hard work ahead if the Commanders want to enter the playoff picture next season. But with Harris doing more than his fair share behind the scenes, fans remain highly confident in the project.

Harris just gets it. He was the perfect owner to take over from Snyder, who ran the Commanders into the ground and became a recluse long before the league eventually forced him to sell. It's taken time, but the stench he left behind is quickly becoming a distant memory.
