Former Indianapolis Colts head coach Chuck Pagano recently suggested that the Washington Commanders should revert to their former name, the Redskins, during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show. Pagano's comments came after he mistakenly referred to the team by its old name while discussing a game, prompting laughter from the show's host and cohosts. The name 'Redskins' was dropped in 2020 amidst social pressure and concerns over its racial insensitivity, with a petition by the Native American Guardians Association for its reinstatement gaining traction. Despite some support for the old name, including from a relative of a Native American chief associated with it, Commanders' owner Josh Harris has stated that the old name will not return 'for obvious reasons.' Pagano's remarks have reignited discussions about the team's branding, even as the franchise remains focused on unifying its identity moving forward.
