Commanders Consider Reviving Controversial Redskins Logo

Discussions are underway to potentially revive the Washington Commanders' former Redskins logo, which was retired in 2020 amid controversy regarding its perceived offensiveness to Native Americans. Montana Senator Steve Daines, who supports the logo's return as a symbol of Native American pride, has been involved in 'good faith negotiations' with the NFL and the Commanders. The logo, based on Blackfoot Chief John Two Guns White Calf and designed by Walter 'Blackie' Wetzel, holds cultural significance for many fans and the Wetzel family. While some view the logo's removal as an overreach of cancel culture, others see the potential revival as a chance to honor and benefit Native American causes. Daines and others argue that reintroducing the logo could help heal divisions and restore traditions, even as the team navigates its new identity as the Washington Commanders.
