Effective immediately, Washington will call itself the “Washington Football Team”, pending adoption of a new name, sources tell ESPN.

While the Washington Football Team uses these uniforms and helmets for the 2020 season, it will be seeking the feedback of players, alumni, fans, sponsors and the community for the new team name it will use at some point in the future, per sources.

Washington officially announces the change: “Starting tomorrow and over the next 50 days, we will begin the process of retiring all Redskins branding from team properties whether it be FedExField, Redskins Park, other physical and digital spaces.” They hope its done by Week 1

Given the trademark issues, time crunch, scandal & ownership turmoil, going with Washington Football Team for a season makes sense. Instead of rushing into something or being held hostage by a party holding the name you want, you can take your time & (hopefully) do this right.

I love the look. I love the helmets. I think this is really smart. I want an awesome name and a logo people get excited for. That's the priority. Accomplishing that will be easier to pull off after this season plays out. https://t.co/BedFwm70Sg

A complete re-branding of a multi-billion dollar organization can't happen in 2 weeks. This was the only move they could make. What's so crazy about it...?
Small detail, but the wings on the letters, similar to the Vikings’ script, might be here to stay for the #WashingtonFootballTeam. A slight modernization for a team that has been reluctant to make even small updates to the team’s uniforms. https://t.co/WF1ocRyR2O

NFL owners might be willing to shut down training camps if there's no deal with the NFLPA on economics, source says: "They could very well shut down the camps and send players home." Story coming on https://t.co/GXHkX9kbHu. Owners might do more than just making camps virtual.

The NFL failed to put a force majeure clause in the CBA. It's now trying to get one on the fly. There needs to be a corresponding benefit to the NFLPA, or there's no reason to agree to it.
— ProFootballTalk (@ProFootballTalk) July 23, 2020
The NFLPA wants to spread the financial hit through 2030, rather than taking it now. And even a $10 million reduction in the 2020 salary cap would be “too much” at this stage, one GM said. Rosters are largely set. Many teams would be scrambling to free up money somewhere.
— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) July 23, 2020
What happens if there’s no deal by Sunday? The CBA contains a no strike/lockout/suit clause. But with no camp schedule agreed to, the NFL could potentially inform clubs that virtual work will continue indefinitely. A big few days ahead. https://t.co/z523QK73CR
— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) July 23, 2020
All 32 clubs will have them on hand for players to test when they report to camp. But again, the expectation is they won’t be required. Meanwhile, the league and Oakley are already working on version 2.0.
