Washington Commanders Add Gold Pants

 By John Turney 

This week the Washington Commanders have added gold pants to their uniform kits. 

Thank goodness. 

Previously they had white and burgundy that could be matched with the white and burgundy (red) jerseys—

Okay, not great unis -- one issue is no stripes on any of them -- but if they used just what is show then it would be the best they could do. The problem is when they matched the red with white pants it didn't work.

If you want numerals other than white you need them to match the pants (with the non-monochrome option). It lacks balance ... 

They corrected it so the red over white may be over. Of course, they could still do it but with the gold option the pants match the numerals and make them pop. It also adds balance to the design concept.

It is not as top-heavy as they are with the white pants. 

Still not in love with the uniform set but they did fix one of the problems. Adding stripes to the pants would have been even better -- but we'll take one step at a time.
