Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn appeared to ruffle feathers over the weekend when he wore a short that incorporated the old Redskins team name into the current logo. Quinn’s Commanders shirt had a feather on the end of the 'W,' which represents the team’s current name. Washington ditched the Redskins moniker in the summer of 2020 amid heightened racial tensions across the U.S. The team landed on Commanders before the 2023 season.
The shirt sparked reaction online. The Commanders had 'no organizational comment' on the apparel, according to Pro Football Talk. 'Dan Quinn in bootleg merchandise. The NFL is not going to like this,' Dallas Cowboys writer Clarence Hill Jr. wrote on X. ’s Jason Reid wondered 'why' Quinn would wear the shirt, adding that he thought it would take away from some of the positive buzz around the team. 'My man, I’m not focusing on racism. My overarching point is this: Everything associated with the former name gets people going, one way or another. They just drafted a QB with the second overall pick. New GM just had his first draft. New head coach is leading the rookies,' Reid wrote.
Can we stop for one second and appreciate this shirt Dan Quinn showcased during today’s press conference?!' Abraham wrote on X. 'Embracing the future while also honoring the past. Chefs kiss.' The Native American Guardians Association also supported Quinn’s shirt. 'Quinn wearing the ‘shirt’ has everything to do with the sleeping giant known as #Redskins Fandom,' NAGA wrote..
He was 43-42 as a head coach. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
