Washington Commanders Logo History - Former Redskins Emblem #3719883 (License: Personal Use)

This stylized illustration depicts a side-profile Native American figure wearing a feathered headdress, rendered in bold black, brown, white, and gold. The design was used as the primary logo for the Washington NFL franchise from 1972 until its retirement in 2020 amid longstanding concerns about racial stereotyping and cultural insensitivity. Its removal marked a major shift in sports branding toward greater inclusivity and respect.
