When Washington decided to adopt Football Team as its nickname in 2020, most people expected it to be a short-term solution. Well, bad news Washington fans; Football Team is here to stay.

In a chat with WJLA on Tuesday, Washington’s team president Jason Wright said that the organization will keep the current name for the 2021 NFL season as well.

“There’s a pretty good chance we will be the Washington Football Team next season,” said Wright.

According to Wright, Washington is still behind in the process of developing the team’s new identity. This makes the use of a placeholder more likely.

“I think next year is fast because of how the brand has to come together through uniforms, through approval processes through the league,” he added. “We could get there quicker, it’s actually pretty hard to get there that quickly because of all the steps that need to happen.”

Washington used the nickname Redskins for the past 87 years, but the team often faced criticism as the name is considered derogatory. The team’s owner Dan Snyder refused to make a change on previous occasions but an overwhelming pressure from the public and the possibility of losing sponsors made him reconsider his stance earlier this year.

The franchise officially announced the retirement of the name „Redskins“ on July 13th. The Football Team nickname was adopted 10 days later as a placeholder until the new name is determined.

It appears that Washington will take more time than expected to find a new name after previously abandoning the nickname “Redskins.” In the meantime, the franchise will reportedly be referred to as Washington Football Team.

The organization will start using the new name once the league approves the change. The name is expected to be in use for the entire 2020 NFL season, but won’t be a permanent solution. 

While Washington is set to retain its color scheme of burgundy and gold, the team will go without a logo. Instead, the helmets will have the player’s jersey numbers on them.

Washington decided to change its name after the “Redskins” nickname, which was in use since 1933, was deemed racist and offensive. The team’s ownership officially started the process in late July, announcing that the franchise will adopt both a new name and a new logo.

Previous reports indicated that the organization is considering names like Red Wolves and Red Tails, but the team was so far tight-lipped about the process.
