Washington’s National Football League franchise has announced the team will no longer be called the Redskins, although it didn’t announce a new name or replacement for its Indian head logo.

“As part of this process, we want to keep our sponsors, fans, and community apprised of our thinking as we go forward,” the team said in a July 13 statement. “Today, we are announcing that we will be retiring the Redskins name and logo upon completion of this review.”
