Josh Harris Affirms 'Commanders' Name Amid Stadium Talks

Washington Commanders owner Josh Harris has firmly stated that the team's name will remain 'Commanders' despite some fans’ desire to revert to the previous name, which was dropped in 2020 due to its offensive connotations. Since acquiring the team in 2023, Harris has emphasized that the name 'Commanders' is embraced by the players, staff, and culture, symbolizing qualities like toughness and teamwork. The team had a successful season, reaching the NFC Championship Game with rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels. While the name will stay, Harris mentioned plans to honor the team's past, potentially incorporating historical elements like old uniforms. He is also engaged in ongoing discussions about a new stadium location with Maryland, Virginia, and DC, aiming for completion by 2030.
