Washington Football Team, Redskins Logos History

Washington Football Team, previously known as the Washington Redskins, started off in Boston when the city was awarded an NFL franchise on July 9, 1932 and took the name of their landlords, the Boston Braves. In 1933, the team moved to Fenway Park and changed their name to the Redskins. Team owner George Preston Marshall moved the franchise to his home town in 1937, where they played their first season in Washington DC. In July 2020, the club’s original Redskins name and symbol were dropped following years of outcry from critics who denounced the name as a slur used against Native Americans.
