The Washington Football Team will officially have a new name this week with the announcement and uniform release scheduled for Wednesday. It’s capping off a multiyear rebranding, which saw much of the fanbase come to embrace the wonderfully generic Football Team name.
But it’s pretty clear that the organization will go in a different direction, and Joe Theismann might have inadvertently spoiled the surprise a couple days too soon.
Just as the potential new name — the Washington Commanders — leaked last week in a domain name transfer, Theismann seemingly confirmed the new name would be the Commanders in a Monday appearance on CBS Sports Radio’s The D.A. Show.
