The Washington Commanders are no strangers to controversy. From the team’s historic rebrand to their efforts to move beyond the legacy of the “Redskins” name, the franchise has spent years navigating the tricky waters of cultural progress and tradition.
But just when it seemed the past was firmly in the rearview mirror, the Commanders are making headlines again—this time with the possibility of reviving the retired Redskins logo.

But just when it seemed the past was firmly in the rearview mirror, the Commanders are making headlines again—this time with the possibility of reviving the retired Redskins logo.
Last week, the U.S. Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources voted 17-2 to advance legislation H.R. 4984, which would transfer control of the RFK Stadium site to the District of Columbia. For fans, this is exciting news, as it sets the stage for a potential new stadium on the grounds where Washington football legacy was born.

Montana Senator Steve Daines confirmed that talks are underway with FOXNews America Reports. “There’s good faith in negotiations going forward that’s going to allow this logo to be used again,” Daines told . He suggested that proceeds from merchandise featuring the logo could go toward supporting Native American causes, framing it as an opportunity to “honor Indian Country .”
