“Washington Football Team” – Temporary Name Amidst Transition
After controversy, petitions, and push-back, the long-debated “Washington Redskins” have announced a name change. The team will temporarily go by the name “Washington Football Team” until a permanent replacement is found.
The team hopes to be entirely rid of their old name (both digitally and physically) within the next 50 days.
Washington will not have any change to its color scheme. It will still use burgundy and gold. The Redskins logo on the helmet will be replaced by the player’s number in gold. The Washington Football Team will debut its home uniforms in week 1 against the Eagles. pic.twitter.com/8DpC6b0Tyj

This change comes after various Native American petitions and push-back from big-time companies such as FedEx, Nike, Target, Walmart, and Amazon. FedEx threatened to pull all branding and signage from their stadium, with the four retailers listed above removed team gear from their websites.
Four of new name possibilities include, “Washington Warriors,” “Washington Redtails,” “Washington Skins,” “Washington Federals,” and “Washington Griffins.” Vote in the comments below.
