JJ Watt Reacts to Commanders' New Uniform With Three-Word Verdict
JJ Watt Reacts to Commanders' New Uniform With Three-Word Verdict originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Washington Commanders' new throwback uniforms are so good that they've gotten quite the endorsement from none other than a future Hall of Famer without even being worn once on the gridiron. Advertisement On Wednesday, the franchise unveiled alternate uniforms paying tribute to their Super Bowl glory years. Former defensive end JJ Watt, first eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2028 following his 2022 retirement, took to social media with a clear three-word verdict. '🎯🎯🎯 Make 'em permanent.' The message, posted to Watt's X account, was a reaction to the Commanders' post showcasing their new white tops and burgundy bottoms, designed with bold gold and white stripes and a classic nameplate font. Washington's new alternate uniform mirrors the team's aesthetics from its championship seasons in 1982 (XVII), 1987 (XXII), and 1991 (XXVI). Advertisement The new threads will be worn three times this season, including a high-profile Christmas Day game against the Dallas Cowboys, and two earlier games against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 9 and the Denver Broncos in Week 13. According to team president Mark Clouse, the redesign is part of a broader effort to reconnect with the franchise's proudest moments. "We are excited to celebrate Washington's incredible history with these iconic, Super Bowl Era uniforms this season," Clouse wrote in a statement. "Ever since Josh Harris and our ownership group acquired the team back in 2023, they've placed great value in finding ways to connect the past and present and honor those that made the burgundy and gold what it is today. Advertisement "These uniforms recognize the most successful era of our franchise -- one that reflects a culture of excellence and encompasses many historical moments and special memories amongst our fanbase." Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden J. Rebilas-Imagn Images The Commanders have chosen a good moment for making such a nostalgic move as they enter the 2025 season riding some momentum, coinciding with the arrival of quarterback Jayden Daniels in 2024. After a four-win campaign in 2023, the Commanders surged to an impressive 12 wins last year, making it to the NFC Championship Game. With head coach Dan Quinn and quarterback Jayden Daniels in place, expectations are as high as they've been since their last Super Bowl run, when Washington last won more than 10 games (14) before breaking that mark last year.
