The Washington franchise has changed away from its nickname twice, first changing from Redskins in 2020 before its most recent change to Commanders in 2022. After retiring the Redskins name and logo, the team adopted the temporary moniker of the Washington Football Team, using the same branding and uniforms from before, sans Redskins insignia.

The Commanders have not made a public statement since Trump’s comments, but owner Josh Harris reiterated the franchise would not be reverting its name after he took over in 2023.
