While the Washington NFL team continues its process towards determining a new team name, it has announced a temporary placeholder for the meantime.

The team will be known as the ‘Washington Football Team’ until a permanent team name is announced, and it has removed all references to their former Redskins name or logo from their uniform for the upcoming 2020 season.

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

This is not a final renaming and rebranding for team; this is the name it wants to use until pending adoption of a new name in the future. pic.twitter.com/sBs0Uo0ICm

Washington will not have any change to its color scheme. It will still use burgundy and gold. The Redskins logo on the helmet will be replaced by the player’s number in gold. The Washington Football Team will debut its home uniforms in week 1 against the Eagles. pic.twitter.com/8DpC6b0Tyj

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the team plans to debut their home uniforms in Week 1 and their away uniforms in Week 2, so it looks like they’re prepared to roll with this branding into the 2020 season while working on a new name.

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.
