Redskins Become Washington Football Team

UNDATED (AP) – The NFL team formerly known as the Redskins will go by the Washington Football Team for the 2020 season. The temporary name gives the organization time to choose a new moniker.  Washington will keep its burgundy and gold colors and replace the Indian head logo on helmets with a player’s jersey number.  Owner Dan Snyder recently dropped the Redskins name amid pressure from sponsors and after decades of criticism from Native American advocacy groups.
