I think we all just expected more, and rightfully so, when you consider that they told us it was going to be such a long process so they could get it right. However, things like logos will likely evolve and in some cases be phased out entirely. It's all a little in your face right now because "We're Washington!" but also "We're the Commanders!" and "Hey remember we're not a new team, we're an old team reborn! so here are our Superbowls on this seemingly superfluous team crest to remind you of that!"
IMO I hope the W gets phased out, and the crest gets tweaked and becomes the primary logo.

The idea of a black alternate is great, but as is usually the case the execution is a lacking. Thought, or would have preferred, more burgundy highlights/ features in the black, personally I think black and burgundy are a good combo. I would have liked a half black half burgundy helmet similar to the fade pattern that the Jags have

Just asking a question here, as all of you are aware of they are "throw back uniforms" that teams wear .How will the new name and uniform change that, again just asking?

I'd imagine they will just use WFT as a throwback
Since that dumb rule about not having alternate helmets went away I want to see these again

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the alternate Black uniform take the place of the throwback for now?
John Keim mentions that a fourth uniform will be introduced in 2024 "with fan involvement"

They won't do the jerseys though which is the best part IMO.. Those were my favorite Skins jerseys

True and put the W on them,
Ultimately though I don't think there's any requirement that teams have a throwback, so the black alternate will be the special occasion uni I'm thinking
