Ownership may not be the only thing changing for Washington’s NFL team. 

The sale of the Commanders from now-former owner Dan Snyder to a group led by Josh Harris was officially approved in a unanimous vote by team owners, and now the question becomes what will be the new ownership’s first order of business.

According to ESPN’s Don Van Natta Jr., the franchise could be looking at a total rebrand — including another name change. 

Van Natta indicated that it was a possibility the team could change its name when asked about it during an appearance on the “Rich Eisen Show” on Thursday. 

“I think so, yes,” Van Natta responded to Eisen when asked if they could change the team name to distance themselves from Snyder’s tenure as owner. 

Minutes after announcing the sale to Harris had been unanimously approved, the NFL levied a $60 million fine against Snyder over the results of a 17-month investigation in allegations Snyder had sexually harassed a former team employee and the organization had hidden revenue that should have been shared with the league. 

“I think there’s a pretty good chance of that to erase any part of the Snyder legacy to have a complete do-over. I would not be surprised at all if we see a name change and a complete re-branding,” Van Natta said. 

If the ESPN reporter’s prognostication does come to fruition, it would be the third time the organization has changed its name in the past decade. 

Snyder finally relented and changed the name to Commanders in the summer of 2020, and the club went by Washington Football Team until 2022 when it rebranded as the Commanders. 

Harris will have plenty on his plate to take care of now that he owns the Commanders. 

The deal was completed for a record-setting $6.05 billion.
