Washington’s NFL team has a new nickname. For the time being, Washington will call itself the “Washington Football Team” pending the adoption of a new name. This is not the final rebranding and renaming for the Washington Football Team, but this will be the name the team will use for the foreseeable future until it finds its permanent name. And along with a new nickname, Washington also unveiled new uniforms for the 2020 season.
The team is keeping its classic burgundy and gold colors. The Redskins logo previously on the helmet has been replaced by the player’s number. And on the front of the jersey, “Washington” is spelled out which replaces “Redskins.” Washington will debut its new uniforms on Sept. 13 when they take on the Philadelphia Eagles. Fans will be able to purchase Washington Football Team merchandise from Fanatics and NFL Shop in the next few days, according to ESPN.

Washington has used the named “Redskins” for the last 87 years. The team decided to retire the name and logo on July 13 after launching a review 10 days earlier. The team felt pressured to change the name following the death of George Floyd in May. Here’s a look at the new uniforms as well as fans reacting to the changes.

While the Washington Football Team uses these uniforms and helmets for the 2020 season, it will be seeking the feedback of players, alumni, fans, sponsors and the community for the new team name it will use at some point in the future, per sources.

Media: โRedskins is racist, they must get rid of it now!โ
โ Jared Dvorsky (@TheyGoToJared) July 23, 2020
Also the media: โWashington Football Team? Wtf? They couldnโt come up with logos, uniforms, brand identity, etc. in 3 weeks? AND they want to make money off this interim name?! How dare they!โ

So, the Redskins temporarily rebrand as the Washington Football Team and their uniforms, while bland, are also ๐ฅ๐ฅ…? I’m so confused in my feelings right now. https://t.co/8fylDf6Vvd

They should keep the name โThe Washington Football Teamโ and these uniforms. I love it. https://t.co/OgHXb2rO4i

People need to understand it takes a while to get a new name, logo, uniforms etc. You cant do all that in a few months. Going with “Washington Football Team” until we get an official name is the right decision. I also love numbers on the helmets.

The Washington Football Team should change their Twitter pic. Other than that, I like the temporary name and uniform tweak.
