The old Redskins gear will be worn by many fans this season. But every year there will be less doing so. Especially when the new team name comes out and the team starts winning.

Unfortunately that is probably true. Additionally, the name likely caused a majority of Redskins fans to move on (primarily in the diaspora which made up the majority of fans) and once a new name is picked more will move on. So yes I can see fewer and fewer wearing Redskins gear at the games and other places in the coming years.

You’re right. If the team picks a cool mascot AND the most popular team name as evidenced by fan mail, polls, etc , such as to the Washington RED WOLVES that whole name transition will accelerate very rapidly. The team also has some young players about to break out and become legit stars: Young, McLaurin, Haskins. That will make people want their favorite player’s jerseys which can either be the anemic WFT logo or the RED WOLVES!
I can’t remember when the Eagles went from that Irish [emoji3515] green (called Kelly green) jersey color to their darker, harder green jerseys. I think it was 1996. It wasn’t even a name change, just a color change. The change was gradual. Now 24 years later not one in 100 Eagles fans are still in the old green.
If the WFT chooses a wildly popular team name & logo AND some current young players start to become real team stars AND the team starts finally winning you’ll see the fans move over to the new logo quickly. WFT gear will go right away. In just two years, with hot stars making a serious run in the playoffs and every fan will want to join the party with the new logo!! In ten years you’ll see a few Redskin curmudgeons or die hards, but the vast majority will be with the RED WOLVES stuff.
