So yesterday the team tweeted out at about one o'clock, 1230.

It was right at the end of the show, right?

For us, 1230, something like that.

A 28 second video announcing the arrival of the team's new uniforms on tax day, April 15th.

I'm telling you, I've said this so many times before.

For those of you, and I don't know how many of you there are, but there are some of you because I hear from you a lot.

So do a lot of us that actually think the names not a big deal.

You're high.

I mean, legitimately high or just plain ignorant or stupid.

Two and a half million views of this 28 second video.

Their average number of views over the last month is about 22,000 views of anything they've tweeted out, including new players that have signed.

So anyway, in this video, at about the 18 second mark, the uniforms are being wheeled in into the building in front of pictures of the hogs from the 80s and 90s of Darrell Green.

In the championship era uniforms, with, by the way, the championship 1972 through 2020, Blacki Wetzel logoed helmet.

And there's art monk in a specific video, and I'm going to tell you what I've learned a little bit about what is coming on April 15th.

But many of you really, because I retweeted this video, really got after the team for including those photos with the Blacki Wetzel, you know, 50 year logo, as a part of the video.

Because if they don't deliver the Blacki Wetzel logoed helmet, you're going to be really upset.

You kind of think this was a tease, and that was a general overall message from, from many of you, is that this is just a tease, and nothing will do unless it's the redskins.

Nothing will do unless they bring the old logo back.

So I get it. I don't know how you show a video and you're teasing on the new uniforms.

I guess they could have shown the uniforms that they wore against Seattle Denver and Kansas City with that particular helmet.

Maybe that would have been less of a tease. Maybe.

So the new uniforms are coming. Look, I think certainly what I had for you a year and a half ago, all the way back in 2024, October, when we did a big segment on the name, and the next day I came in and told you look, the name, who knows, probably iffy.

But what I did learn back then was they're going to do something about the uniforms. They're going to go back to a, you know, a championship era uniform that makes it look like our old team.

And that came in the form last year of three games of wearing the alt uniforms, the championship era uniforms against Seattle Denver in Sunday night games and then against the cowboys on Christmas day with cowboys wearing their blues.

And they did it right because they wore their white jerseys at home during the Gibbs championship era, we wore white at home.

Now, that's what is coming back in a permanent sense, you know, their, their indications. And I think most of you probably know this by now that really what it is is is going to be what we saw alt style last year as the permanent in 2026 and moving forward.

Love that. And by the way, you'll have a burgundy top jersey as well. Now, will they wear white at home? Will they wear dark at home? I actually asked that question of somebody who was in the know and they said, actually, I'm not even sure.

But I would hope that they'd wear the white at home, wear the burgundy on the road when the team you're playing is wearing white at home.

But in this day and age, we see teams all the time where both white and dark at home during the course of a season, there's nothing traditional and nothing consistent anymore.

Right, Max? I'm not a uniform guy, but I watch a lot of football and one week the jets might be wearing green at home and the next week they might be wearing white at home.

And then the next time they're at home, it'll be their alt uniform, their black uniform. Same thing with the Eagles. Now the cowboys have been pretty consistent with wearing white at home.

You know, that's been a pretty consistent thing for them. Is there another team that's been consistent wearing either dark at home or white at home in recent years?

Because that's the way it used to be. I mean, if you want to go back to like the 70s and 80s, all right, basically the cowboys were the first team to wear white at home.

They actually had to get a, I think the league to approve it because, you know, when the NFL first started to become a thing, you wore dark at home, white on the road.

And the cowboys wanted to be different because that's just who they are and they wanted to wear white at home. They got somehow, you know, given permission to do that.

Then it was teams like the cults who were white at home. And then more and more teams would do it and occasionally teams like the giants or the Eagles in our division would wear white at home only when the cowboys came to town because they wanted the cowboys to wear their blues, which were really unusual.

There was a period of time where when you saw the cowboys in their road blues, it was so unusual to see it because they were white at home.

And most teams were dark at home. Therefore, the cowboys also wore their white jerseys on the road. This is getting into geeky historical uniform stuff.

And I'm not the expert. I should have brought Zebon for this particular segment. But I do remember what it used to be.

And then Gibbs came here when the Redskins were always, always a dark jersey at home team. And he changed that in 1981.

I'm Spencer and I work at United Healthcare.

So Spencer, why do you care?

I care because my daughter Adeline has special needs. I am motivated by Adeline who inspires me every day.

I am driven to help families like mine navigate the healthcare system.

And by the way, the first game, they rolled it out against the Cowboys and it was the first time ever.

September of 81, Gibbs' first game as a head coach.

First time ever, the Cowboys played in RFK Stadium in their Blues.

Really looked cool, actually.

And then throughout the Gibbs era, they played in their Blues.

And then once we got post Gibbs and we got into Richie, he wore white.

But then Norve were white.

But then Marty wore dark at home.

He brought dark back to home.

And then Bruce Allen, when Mike Shanahan got here, brought his dad's gold pants back.

And then since it's, you know, well, we know it's happened since 2222.

You know, the direct, the clown show that has been their most recent uniform.

And they've worn a lot of different things at home.

But am I right for the most part that maybe other than Dallas, Max, who consistently wear, they wear white at home?

Does anybody else consistently do it one way versus another?

Maybe the Raiders, the Raiders don't wear white at home ever, right?

Even in Vegas.

The Raiders haven't done that.

And I think since like the 60s or 70s, at least according to what I've been searching.

But what I have found is a couple teams like Florida, like Florida teams, like the Boxer or the Dolphin.

Well, sometimes wear white at home just to combat, you know, the Florida sun.

But other than that, those, those are the kind of the only ones who consistently have worn white at home in recent terms of history.

Okay.

But, but others will occasionally wear white at home.

Okay.

Yes.

I mean, the giants occasionally wear white at home.

I'm thinking about it now.

The Packers never wear white at home, right?

Or do they?

Have they, have they done that maybe once or twice in recent years?

Yeah, because they have the all white uniforms too that they've worn with the white helmets.

The Steelers don't.

The Steelers never wear white at home, do they?

Not to my recollection, no.

Yeah.

All right.

Enough of that.

With respect to our teams coming April 15th, new uniforms.

So they're going to be the Alts from last year are going to be the permanent.

I don't know if they'll wear white predominantly at home or we'll see because we didn't see it last year because it was white each of the three times.

But we'll see the burgundy top unveiled and it'll just go back to the championship area uniforms.

It'll look like that.

Look, I'm not getting into the stripes and where they are and all those things.

But it's going to look like our team, like it did in the three games this year.

Now, as it relates to the helmet, from what I've been told, we're not getting the Blacky Wetzel logo back on the helmet.

And that is a source of frustration for me just as it is for many of you because never, ever was that a source of controversy.

Just never was.

Somebody's got to do a better job with the league and the league sponsors of saying, hey, this has never been a source of controversy.

In fact, this has been a source of pride for Native Americans, this particular logo developed by Walter Blacky Wetzel back in 1972 for George Allen and his teams.

And, but it's going to be from what I've been told, you know, and I think you guys are much more on top of this than I am.

Max, you are to, you know, this W with potentially some spear element to the W.

That may be a part of the new helmet.

Maybe it's just the W, but maybe there's some sort of spear element to the W.

Have we seen a W logo with a spear?

Haven't we seen that?

Nothing official, but like we've seen people come up with their own.

I mean, Dan Quinn had the one with the feather, but that's not a spear, you know?

Okay.

So I think that somehow the spear could be, look, I don't think that the old logo is dead for it like the future, not immediate.

But somebody at some point is going to be able to convince the league sponsors, you know, the top 10 guys, the Amazon's, the Fox's, the Coca-Cola's, the Bank of America's, etc.

You know, whatever the top 10 are, those are three or four of them.

To say, there's nothing wrong with the logo.

This is not offensive to anybody.

Never has been, never will be.

Now, how will it fit with the team name?

That's another conversation altogether from a branding standpoint.

Yeah.

So that's, look, there will be alt uniforms.

I bet you they continue to keep, I don't know this, but I would bet you they keep the black as an alt uniform.

I think we can all agree, maybe not all agree, but I bet you the majority of us would agree that what they've worn in 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 should never be an alt uniform.

There should never be a throwback to these past four seasons in terms of what they've worn.

But look, it's not everything.

They know that we know that, but I don't think the old names ever coming back.

We've talked about this now for over a year.

I would still prefer, you know, absent of that and sort of understanding that that is not, I don't think, a possibility.

I'd still prefer Washington football team.

We call them the skins and we get the old uniforms back with the old logo.

Look, I felt like watching that Seattle Sunday night game, the Denver Sunday night game, Denver game more fun because it was more competitive.

The Thanksgiving Day game, it did feel more to me like it wasn't the expansion team that landed here in February of 2022.

Because that's what it felt like ever since Jason Wright and his, you know, wingman came in and, you know, embarrassed everybody with what they developed from a branding name, etc. standpoint.

Alright, when we come back, I'll have a smell test for tonight's sweet 16 games. Kevin, she showed the team 980 and the team 980.com.

I'm Brian, I work at United Health Care.

So Brian, why do you care?

They have no idea about the health care.

I feel like they are my uncles, aunties.
