The Washington Redskins announced Monday that they will be retiring their nickname and logo after completing a thorough review that began on July 3.
"Today, we are announcing we will be retiring the Redskins name and logo upon completion of this review," the team said in a statement.
"Dan Snyder and Coach [Ron] Rivera are working closely to develop a new name and design approach that will enhance the standing of our proud, tradition-rich franchise and inspire our sponsors, fans and community for the next 100 years."
It had been widely expected that Washington would change its name, and one source said Saturday night that an announcement of a new name would come soon.
