Washington announced Monday it will retire the team's controversial nickname and logo after several recent requests to make the change.
The decision comes after the franchise said July 3 it would "undergo a thorough review of the team's name."
"Today, we are announcing we will be retiring the Redskins name and logo upon completion of this review," the team said in a statement Monday.
"[Owner] Dan Snyder and [coach] Ron Rivera are working closely to develop a new name and design approach that will enhance the standing of our proud, tradition rich franchise and inspire our sponsors, fans and community for the next 100 years.
