0:00.0	And away we go, episode one thousand three hundred three of the Al-Galdi podcast. It is Wednesday, April 15th, 2026. It is the day on which the Washington commanders are revealing new uniforms. The reveal is happening at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, the team on March 26th on X put out a video announcing that the team on April 15th will be announcing, quote,
0:37.8	new uniforms, end quote, the team this past Monday at 12 p.m. on X put out a post saying that the
0:43.3	reveal of the new uniforms will be on Wednesday morning at 10. And the post included a graphic
0:48.3	with the following phrase, quote, behold the burgundy and gold, end quote. The widespread expectation, of course, is that
0:57.2	the new uniforms will at least be similar to the very popular Super Bowl era alternate uniform of
1:02.8	this past season, but presumably there will be differences. Otherwise, why hype up a reveal of,
1:08.4	quote, new uniforms, end quote. Also, what about the helmet?
1:14.1	What is the helmet going to be like? What will the logo on the helmet for the new uniforms be?

1:46.2	of the NFL team of D.C. And so this reveal of new uniforms on Wednesday at 10 a.m. is a big deal.
1:53.1	How we feeling? Are we confident? Are we excited? Are we perhaps scared? Maybe we're all of
2:00.0	these things. That's okay if we are all of these things.
2:03.3	Do you remember when Jesse Spano on the all-time great television show,
2:08.5	Saved by the Bell, got hooked on caffeine pills?
2:11.6	This was a very special episode of Saved by the Bell.
2:14.5	Well, Jesse was both excited and scared. Here you go.
2:20.4	I'm so excited. I'm so excited. I'm so scared. Yeah, I'm so excited. Yeah, I'm so excited. Yeah, I'm so excited.
2:33.2	If you're feeling that way about this reveal of new uniforms on Wednesday at 10 a.m., that's okay. We are here for each other on this podcast.
