Washington Commanders To Mark 90th Anniversary With Uniform Patch

The last time Washington wore a patch on its uniform was 2020, when players donned the No. 49 on their left shoulder in honor of late halfback/flanker Bobby Mitchell, who had passed away earlier that year. It’s likely the 90th anniversary patch will be in the same spot on the Commanders’ new uniforms.

Washington has also worn patches to commemorate the NFL’s 50th anniversary in 1969; their 50th anniversary in 1986; the NFL’s 75th anniversary in 1994; the death of former owner Jack Kent Cooke in 1997; their 70th anniversary in 2002; the death minority owner Gerald Snyder (the father of majority owner Dan Snyder) in 2003; their 75th anniversary and the death of former safety Sean Taylor in 2007; the death of longtime NFL Players Association executive director Gene Upshaw in 2008; the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in 2011; and the 50th anniversary of the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2012.
