Commanders' Merchandise Featuring Old Name and Logo Sells Out

The Commanders' online store has completely sold out of merchandise featuring the team's previous name and logo, as reported by Eric Flack of WUSA. This surge in demand for outdated gear was noted earlier this week.

While the online items are no longer available, the team continues to offer these products at its physical store locations. The Commanders justified the sale by emphasizing the importance of honoring franchise alumni and maintaining trademark rights.

The Association on American Indian Affairs has criticized this move, viewing it as a regression towards a name that has been recognized as a slur. This recent sale marks the most significant public display of the old name since it was officially retired in 2020, raising questions about the team's future intentions regarding the name.
