Washington Redskins logo and symbol, meaning, history, PNG
- Download PNG Washington Football Team Logo Although the Washington Redskins logo has gone through a sequence of changes over its more than 85-year history, the core visual theme – an image of an American Indian – remained the same.
- Meaning and history The club, known as Washington Redskins for more than eighty years, had its visual identity constant and based on the portrait of a Native American man, though in the middle of the 2010s their name and emblem were claimed to be provocative and offensive, so the legendary team left its roots and legacy behind, and changed the name to Washington Football Team in 2020.
- 1932 The football club was born in 1932 under the name Boston Braver and its first logo was created in the same year.
- It was a red and white badge with the image of a Native American man in profile, with a large feathery headpiece.
- The body of the image was executed in red, with white color used for the inner lines and details.
- The new emblem featured a monochrome portrait of a man, who was now facing right and had only two white feathers in his black hair.
- The feathers’ color was switched from white to red and the frame was now in dark gold.
- 1952 – 1959 The framing was removed from the logo in 1952, and one of the feathers in the man’s hair gained a yellow color, which added energy and power to the whole image.
- 1960 – 1964 The redesign of 1969 switched the color scheme of the emblem again, repeating the original badge, but making white the main color, and red was used for the outlines and a small part of the background on a circular badge.
- The emblem gained a thick white circular frame again.
- 1965 – 1969 In 1965 the portrait of the Native American man was removed from the Washington Redskins visual identity.
- The new color palette featured yellow and white colors and a thin red outline.
- 1970 – 1971 The new Redskins logo, created for the club in 1970, was composed of a white circular badge in a thick burgundy frame with a bold letter “R” inside.
- Two enlarged feathers in white and red were attached to the left side of the frame.
- 1983 – 2020 The man changes his direction and is now turned to the right.
- The color palette of the logo got one new shade — burgundy, which was used for the bold sans-serif inscription, placed under the circular badge.
- It was the last version with the image of the Native American man, created for the legendary football club.
- 2020 – Today Though the visual identity concept and the team’s name were dramatically changed in 2020, there is still one thing, which links the new club with its roots — the yellow and burgundy color palette of the logo.
- The icon, used by the Washington Football Team, featured a solid burgundy square with a yellow letter “W” on it.
- The letter is executed in the same custom typeface with sharp elements, the main nameplate is written in.
