LISTEN: What's Your Favorite Washington New Nickname?

It has been 402 days since the Washington Football Team retired its previous name and logo.

While the team will still play the 2021 NFL season as the WFT, the franchise is inching closer to officially naming a permanent identity.

Team president Jason Wright announced the move in a tweet early Thursday morning.

Just to be clear, because everyone keeps asking, we are down to and working through a final three but this is no form of final 8 list. These are just a selection of names that happened to show up in the video our team produced. https://t.co/IzeMAE64EO
