Jayden Daniels offered a glimpse of the future in more ways than one when he arrived at MetLife Stadium in August for his first NFL preseason game wearing a white Doug Williams throwback jersey — the look Williams sported in Super Bowl XXII while earning the MVP award.

“What better way to have my debut, my first game, than to represent Doug and what he’s done for this organization?” Daniels told reporters after the exhibition game against the New York Jets.
Building a bridge to the past has been a central theme to the Washington Commanders’ turnaround under owner Josh Harris. It will be strengthened further as the team introduces an alternate uniform this season that pays tribute to the franchise’s most successful years.
The “Super Bowl Era” alternates, as they’re billed, are near replicas of the ones worn by Washington during its three Super Bowl victories (XVII, XXII and XXVI) in the 1980s and early ’90s.
The Commanders will wear the uniforms for three nationally televised home games this season: Week 9 against the Seattle Seahawks (Nov. 2); Week 13 against the Denver Broncos (Nov. 30), whom Washington throttled in Super Bowl XXII in January 1988; and Week 17 against the Dallas Cowboys on Christmas. Washington wore the same white-jersey-burgundy-pants look against Dallas in the NFC championship game in 1983, a memorable 31-17 win that led to its first Super Bowl victory.
