Mr. Wasser has not only come to terms with the name change, but he’s warmed up to “The Washington Football Team” brand — like many Washington fans have in the months since the team officially retired the nickname “Redskins.” And as part of the holiday season, those fans are now actively seeking Washington team gear.
The shift has come as Washington still searches for a new name. This week, TMZ reported that Washington is leaning toward either keeping the “Washington Football Team” or slightly altering it to “Washington Football Club.” Team president Jason Wright shot down the story on Twitter, though he has said the franchise will use its temporary name again in 2021.
