Now that the sale of the Washington Commanders from Dan Snyder to the new ownership group led by Montgomery County native Josh Harris is final, the group will have some decisions to make regarding the future of the franchise, including a possible “complete rebranding of the team.”
According to a tweet by Bleacher Report (seen below), ESPN senior writer Don Van Natta Jr. stated on the Rich Eisen Show that “There’s a ‘pretty good chance’ the new ownership of the Washington Commanders will change the franchise name and have a ‘complete re-branding’ of the team.”
Earlier this morning, JP Finlay of NBC Sports and 106.7 The Fan tweeted (seen below), “From what I was told in Minny changing the name from Commanders is not a definite but it will be discussed.” In addition to the team’s first season under new ownership, there may be plenty of changes coming to the franchise.
