The Washington Football Team, FKA the Washington Redskins, rebranded yesterday as the Washington Commanders. A series of leaks, however, spoiled the announcement early. From one such leak, we at the Record obtained a list of team names considered and rejected by the team’s owners. That list is published here in full.
