"Lamest team name in sports."-one fan declared

Former QB Robert Griffin III excited about the Commander's uniform announcement

Former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III was drafted second overall by the Washington Redskins in 2012. The former Hisman Trophy winner spent four seasons with the team before moving on.

After the Commanders' announcement of adding gold pants to their uniform look for some games, RG III was excited about the change and even shared a photo of his time with the team wearing the gold pants, but that version had a stripe down the side.

He encouraged his followers to share their thoughts on the look and what else they wanted to see in the future.

"Hey you. Yeah you, Gold pants are back! This is a safe space. What else do you want brought back?"

Washington is headed into its second season under Josh Harris' ownership and expects a winning season ahead.
