Commanders’ Dan Quinn Under Fire For Redskins-Themed Shirt During Practice

Commanders head coach Dan Quinn is already making waves in his first practice in Washington.

After buying the Washington Commanders last year, new owner Josh Harris confirmed that he would change the team’s name Redskins name despite over 100,000 fans signing a petition to bring the old name back.

“Obviously, I grew up in D.

C. and I was there during the glory years, so I understand why fans love the former name,” Harris said.

“But look, there was a portion of our fanbase that felt disrespected by the former name,” Harris continued. “Sports are supposed to bring people together and not be a distraction. I don’t want distractions … I thought it was important that we end the conversation.”

On Saturday, newly signed head coach Dan Quinn appeared to honor the old Redskins name by wearing a Washington Commanders shirt with Redskins feathers on it.

It’s unclear where Quinn got the shirt because it’s definitely not licensed/approved by the NFL.

Quinn will likely get a call from the NFL over his unlicensed Redskins shirt.
