It was reported on Thursday afternoon that the team formerly known as the Washington Redskins will now be called the Washington Football Team going forward, until a new name and logo is decided upon.
With the new name comes new jerseys, which will feature the same color scheme and basic design, though the former team name and logo will be removed. On the helmets, each player’s number will be featured instead of the logo.
According to the report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the new name will be decided on with input from former and current players, fans, and sponsors. It is unknown when a new name will be decided upon, but you can plan to go by the current ‘Football Team’ throughout the 2020 season.
Fans and players alike had a field day on social media once the announcement was made.
