HOF New Artifact Spotlight: Washington Football Team

The Pro Football Hall of Fame recently received the newly designed Washington Football Team uniform (helmet, pants, jersey, socks) unveiled during the team’s Week 1 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sept. 13, 2020.

The team jerseys feature a No. 49 patch to pay tribute to Pro Football Hall of Famer Bobby Mitchell, who passed away earlier in 2020. Mitchell was the first African American to play for the Washington franchise.

The uniform is on display in the Pro Football Today Gallery.
