Burgundy and gold do most of the work for you. A Commanders jersey is one of the easiest team gifts to get right, because the colors are unmistakable and the versions — home, road, alternate and throwback — look genuinely different from each other. Here is how to narrow it down.
Why Commanders jerseys are easy to gift
Two things make this an easier buy than most teams. The first is the palette: burgundy and gold are distinctive enough that a Commanders jersey reads as a Commanders jersey from across a room, which matters when you are buying for someone whose team you do not follow. The second is that the versions are genuinely different — the burgundy home, the white road, the alternate and the throwback do not look like variations of the same shirt.
The current pick
For most fans buying today, the jersey to start with is the quarterback’s. A current player name is the safest gift in the category because it is the one the recipient would have picked themselves.

The legacy pick
Retired-player jerseys are the other half of the category, and they are a deliberately different kind of gift — less about this season and more about the franchise’s history. They are also the ones a fan is least likely to already own, because people rarely buy a second one for themselves.

The custom option
A blank or personalized jersey is the right call when you are not certain about the name, or when the gift is for someone who would rather have their own on the back. It is also the version that does not go out of date when a roster changes.

Which version to choose
- Burgundy. The home jersey and the one most people picture.
- White. The road version — the safe second jersey.
- Alternate. Usually black or gold-accented; the one that looks deliberate rather than default.
- Throwback. For the fan who already owns two.
Quick answers
What colors do the Washington Commanders wear?
Burgundy and gold. The burgundy jersey is the home version, white is the road version, and the alternate and throwback versions build on the same two colors.
Which Commanders jersey should I buy as a gift?
For a current fan, the starting quarterback. For a fan who already owns a current jersey, a retired-player jersey or a throwback. If you are unsure about the name, a custom or blank jersey is the lowest-risk option.
Are retired-player jerseys a good gift?
Yes, particularly for longtime fans. They are the jerseys people rarely buy for themselves, which is what makes them work as a gift.
What size should I buy for a Commanders fan?
The size they wear in a regular t-shirt. Jerseys are cut loose, so there is no need to size up unless they are layering over a hoodie. Youth sizes are listed by age range.
Is a custom Commanders jersey a good idea?
If you know the size and not the name, yes. A personalized jersey does not go out of date when the roster changes, and blank reads as deliberate rather than unfinished.
