Commanders Announce Return of Gold Pants for 2024 NFL Uniforms in New Photos

For the first time since the 2018 season, the Washington Commanders will have gold pants as part of their uniform rotation.

The Commanders showed off their signature gold pants that will be used in 2024 in a series of images released on Tuesday.

Gold pants were a staple of Washington’s uniform combination for more than 40 years after the franchise moved from Boston prior to the 1937 season.

The gold was implemented starting in 1937 and remained in rotation through the 1978 season. Washington got rid of gold in the rotation, opting instead for either white or burgundy beginning in 1979.

There were some exceptions made that brought gold back into the fold, but it wasn’t until the 2010 season that it was once again a regular staple for the franchise.

The Commanders last wore gold pants during the 2018 season, including for the final game of the regular season against the Philadelphia Eagles at FedEx Field.

Washington will unveil its full home jersey schedule for the 2024 season at a later date.

For now, though, bringing back the gold pants is at least an indication that the new Commanders regime, which includes owner Josh Harris and first-year head coach Dan Quinn, are embracing their rich history as they move into the future.

There is at least a sense of optimism around where the Commanders are going now that they seem to have a direction. New general manager Adam Peters was hired in January after a seven-season run as a key decision-maker for the San Francisco 49ers.

The Commanders selected Jayden Daniels with the No. 2 pick in the 2024 NFL draft. If he turns into the franchise quarterback they have needed for years, the sky is the limit in Washington.
