WASHINGTON, D.C. The Washington NFL team will officially call itself the Washington Football Team until it decides on a new name for the future, according to ESPN. Adam Schefter reported the franchise wants to use that name until it can officially adopt a new mascot, which will replace the name used by the team for many years. The team will keep the same colors -- burgundy and gold -- and replace the old logo on helmets with a players number, Schefter reported. The franchise wants to be entirely rid of its old name on all platforms within the next 50 days, Schefter said.
