"The Washington Commanders' decision to update their logo is disappointing and inappropriate to say the least, the Association on American Indian Affairs said in a statement provided to USA TODAY Sports."
"It is time to stop repeating this cycle and listen to Native Peoples who have been clear, consistent, and unwavering on this issue: We are not your mascot."
The Washington Commanders unveiled a new logo featuring a spear as part of their 2026-27 uniform redesign. The logo, which incorporates a letter 'w' with a spear, references the team's previous identity as the Washington Redskins. The Association on American Indian Affairs criticized the logo, stating it is disappointing and inappropriate. They emphasized the need to listen to Native Peoples, who have consistently expressed that they do not wish to be used as mascots. The team has faced ongoing scrutiny regarding its relationship with the American Indian community.
