Washington Redskins Unveil New Retro Home Uniforms

The Washington Redskins will wear new uniforms for home games next season to commemorate their 70th anniversary. The revamped uniforms include burgundy helmets with a spear-and-feathers logo identical to the helmets worn by the team between 1963 and 1969.

The new jerseys, in a deeper shade of burgundy, have a thick gold stripe and two white stripes on each shoulder with a spear-and-feathers logo. Players' numbers are on the tops of the shoulder pads instead of the sleeves.

"Redskins" appears in small type above numbers on the front of the jersey, with a commemorative 70th anniversary patch beneath the left shoulder. The pants are deep gold, a change from this past season's white pants. The pants have burgundy and white stripes down the side, and have spear-and-feathers logos at the top of the legs.

Road uniforms will remain unchanged: white jerseys with burgundy pants, and helmets featuring the team's Indian face logo.

The club plans to announce other commemorative measures for its 70th season today.
