“Washington Football Team Est. 1932” is painted in gold with a burgundy background.

Washington retired its previous name and logo in July after pressure from sponsors calling the name racist and disparaging against Native Americans.

The team will be referred to as the “Washington Football Team” throughout the 2020 season. A permanent name will be selected in the near future, but the burgundy and gold color scheme won’t be changed.
