The NFL team formerly known as the Washington Redskins announced a new temporary name on Thursday as they search for an adequate replacement for their old name, which had been the subject of an ongoing public pressure campaign.
“For updated brand clarity and consistency purposes, we will call ourselves the “Washington Football Team” pending adoption of our new name,” said the Washington, D.C.-based team in a statement. “The Redskins name and logo will officially be retired by the start of the 2020 season. We encourage fans, media and all other parties to use ‘Washington Football Team’ immediately.”
