Dan Snyder: 'It's Possible!' Washington Football Team Stays as Permanent Name

While the Washington Football Team was viewed as a placeholder name until the organization found another one, owner Dan Snyder admitted it could be permanent.

"Sure, it's possible!" Snyder told Andrew Beaton of the Wall Street Journal (h/t Michael David Smith of ProFootballTalk). "If the Washington Football Team name catches on and our fans embrace it, then we would be happy to have it as our permanent name. I think we have developed a very classy retro look and feel."

The franchise announced in July it would retire the name "Redskins," only to announce later in the month it would go by the Washington Football Team during the 2020 season.
