Commanders Locker Room
Although I've had the opportunity and privilege to cover the Commanders over the last 3 years, one place I've never photographed is their locker room.
When I read in the brief that the locker room would be open to fans and the press, I knew it would be a great opportunity to get photographs I typically don't have the access to create.

Upon walking into the locker room I was greeted with the brand new uniforms that the team will wear during the 2026-2027 NFL season.

Moving past the new uniforms, I noticed that the three super bowl trophies were on display. Unfortunately, something I didn't account for was the effect that the reflection and glare of the lights would have on the display case.
Having a circular polarizer in my bag would've helped reduce them and is something I will most likely look to purchase to keep in my go-bag just in case I run into this sort of situation again.

Once I made my way out of the locker room and entered the tunnel that leads out to the field, I was greeted by a large inflatable Commanders helmet that had dozens of fans lining up to do their own tour of the locker room.
