The Washington Football Team Officially Has a New Name

This morning the NFL team announced on social media.

This morning the NFL team announced on social media it will now be named the “Washington Commanders.” The team shared the new name on Twitter with the hash tag “Take Command.” The Commanders also unveiled their new logo. The team has been the Washington football team for two seasons after changing its name in 2020 from the Redskins due to the term’s racist connotations. Team President Jason Wright says “Its a name that has the weight and the meaning befitting a 90 year old franchise. Its something that broadly resonates with our fans and is something that we believe embodies the values of service and leadership that really defines the DC, Maryland and Virginia area.”
