Ex-Redskins become Washington Football Team for 2020 season
Associated PressThe NFL team formerly known as the Redskins will go by the Washington Football Team for at least the 2020 season, giving the organization time to choose a new, full-time name. Executive vice president and chief marketing officer Terry Bateman, hired Monday to oversee the name change and rebranding process, called the temporary design “a nice link between the history and the future.” “This is an organic kind of move,” Bateman said in a phone interview Thursday. That’s going to require some time to do it right.” With training camp opening next week, the process begins Friday of scrubbing the old name and logo from everything at the team’s headquarters in Ashburn, Virginia, to FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland. Washington Football Team is the name throughout 2020 and could stick beyond that if the name change process drags on.
