WFT bans NA headdresses and face paint from FedEx (https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/31959090/washington-football-team-bans-native-american-headdresses-face-paint-fedex-stadium) (which is ok IMO) but not Redskins gear (which would be outrageous IMO).

The majority of the fanbase left because the team has stunk. That is what happens.

Did people see that the Guardians are having issues with a roller derby club. LOL That's why you do a name search, and diligence and resolve things in the background.

Getting the new name, making sure the web and social media are going to work, and that copyrights and other legal niceties all takes time. If it was Snyder/Allen/Cerrato handling it, I would be petrified. But Rivera, Wright and the rest of the operations staff seem to have an actual clue how to do this right. I wish they would announce it, and move forward, but so far everything has been handled with aplomb so I will wait impatiently and hope RR pulls another 15-1 season out of his hat in the meantime.

I was reading an article about how Cleveland apparently didn't to something as simple as a Google search on Cleveland Guardians to see if it was being used and now they look like idiots. I'm sure they will be able to steamroll the roller derby team or give them a few million reasons to give up the name Guardians. This is exactly why WFT is taking their time to finalize their name change.

I wonder what they will do if fans show up in Redskins gear. Will they ban them too? SMFH. What a joke.

I saw some Washington DC logos that could make a decent start for this idea. They were kinda cool. They could do worse and Monuments would tie in with the Caps and the Nats. Still want Wolves or Redwolves myself....but they will always be the Redskins to me so I don’t really care.

Pretty clear they won't do that IMO.
That would be outrageous and create huge backlash, and they know they can't afford to alienate the few remaining loyal fans...

Know I guess I understood they would look very stupid if fans in NA costumes would appear on TV.

How many people actually show up to games with a headdress and face paint anyway? I'm guessing this impacts very few people.

There you go, from the team's website: (https://www.washingtonfootball.com/news/the-washington-football-team-welcomes-fans-back-for-2021-season-announces-update)

"We are excited to welcome everyone back wearing their Burgundy & Gold. However, Native American inspired ceremonial headdresses or face paint may no longer be worn into the stadium."

So no definitely no banning Redskins gear...
