After more than a year of planning and secrecy, the time has finally come: Say hello to the Commanders.
Washington officially revealed its new team name on Wednesday morning, capping a process that started in the summer of 2020 when it got rid of its previous longtime name. The franchise has gone by the moniker "Football Team" for the past two seasons.
Washington changed its name in July of 2020 “in light of recent events around our country and feedback from our community,” according to a team-issued statement. Owner Dan Snyder had previously opposed a name change.
