The Washington Commanders boast a storied over 90-year history that began in 1932 when they were founded as the Boston Braves. After relocations to Boston and Washington D.C., decades of struggle ensued before the franchise emerged as title contenders in the 1980s. An absolute highlight were the three Super Bowl triumphs in 1983, 1988 and 1992. Led by legendary quarterback Joe Theismann, cornerback Darrell Green and the "Fun Bunch" offense, the Commanders cemented a dynasty in the 80s. Unforgettable was John Riggins' 43-yard touchdown run in Super Bowl XVII. 2005 marked the next milestone as the Commanders, led by quarterback Mark Brunell and safety Sean Taylor, stormed to the playoff semifinals. Though they fell to the Seattle Seahawks, the team electrified fans with their explosive offense featuring Clinton Portis and Chris Cooley. Unforgotten are also legends like the "Hogs" offensive line, linebacker Sam Huff and receiver Art Monk. With their iconic team colors burgundy and gold, the Washington Commanders have evolved into a beloved brand.
