Effective immediately, Washington will call itself the “Washington Football Team”, pending adoption of a new name, sources tell ESPN. This is not a final renaming and rebranding for team; this is the name it wants to use until pending adoption of a new name in the future.

Washington will not have any change to its color scheme. It will still use burgundy and gold. The Redskins logo on the helmet will be replaced by the player’s number in gold. The Washington Football Team will debut its home uniforms in week 1 against the Eagles.

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.

Happy about the color scheme sticking around

In the meantime they could have called themselves the Washington Footballers.

The name might have stuck.

Another name for the Washington football team I like is the "Rage."

I'm just looking forward to hearing Al Michaels having to say this during the broadcast of a game this upcoming season:

"Well, the Cowboys have been dominating the first half so far. What do you think the Football Team will have to do to get back in this game, Chris?"

When we think of a "football team" we will not think of Washintgon.

a lot of announcers haven’t used the term redskins in years actually

Jude LaCava says he’s just been saying Washington since like the 90s

A bit late here, but Washington is also using this logo for merchandising (they call this a "tertiary mark"):

Washington has renamed a main road into FedEx Field after late safety Sean Taylor and changed the name of the road leading into the practice facility to Joe Gibbs Drive. Taylor was killed in 2007; coaches and teammates say had just started that season... https://es.pn/32FUOYu
