Following the decision to move away from its Redskins name in 2020, Washington's football franchise went by the more generic-sounding Washington Football Team for the 2020 and 2021 NFL seasons. That was always meant to be a temporary move, and the franchise took the next step on Feb. 2, when it officially rebranded as the Washington Commanders. Washington retained its traditional burgundy-and-gold color scheme but is hoping the name brings more unity moving forward. You can buy Commanders jerseys here.

NFL team name changes are rare. It's only happened 11 times in league history, and most of the time they follow a franchise relocation. The last one happened in 1999, when the Tennessee Titans were founded. That franchise, originally the Houston Oilers, spent two seasons as the Tennessee Oilers after relocating from Houston before becoming the Titans.
That means the anticipation is high for the new Washington Commanders gear hitting stores now that the logo has been unveiled. See the new Washington Commanders gear here.
"As an organization, we are excited to rally and rise together as one under our new identity while paying homage to our local roots and what it means to represent the nation's capital," team owner Dan Snyder said in a statement. "As we kick off our 90th season, it is important for our organization and fans to pay tribute to our past traditions, history, legacy and the greats that came before us. We continue to honor and represent the Burgundy & Gold while forging a pathway to a new era in Washington. Today may mark the first day for the Washington Commanders, but we are and always will be Washington."
The Commanders will try to win the NFC East for the 10th time in franchise history when the 2022 NFL season gets underway later this year. Washington last topped the NFC East in 2020.
