In 1933, the team moved into Fenway Park and changed their name to the Redskins. The 1933 NFL season was the 14th Regular season of the National Football League. [7] They also changed their head coach. The team was now led by Lone Star Dietz[8], as Lud Wray moved to Philadelphia to head up its new franchise, the Eagles. William Henry "Lone Star" Dietz (1884-1964 was the Head coach of the Boston Redskins (now Washington Redskins) of the National Football League As with any long-standing Professional sports team the history of the Philadelphia Eagles is one of ups and downs Tragedy and success [9] The Redskins finished the 1933 season with a 5-5-2 record.

The Redskins moved to Washington the following season due to lack of fan support in Boston.
In Washington, D. C.
In their early years in Washington, the Redskins shared Griffith Stadium with the Washington Senators baseball team. Griffith Stadium was a Sports Stadium that stood in Washington D The Minnesota Twins are a professional baseball team based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. [12] In 1937, they signed an innovative rookie quarterback from Texas Christian University, future Pro Football Hall of Famer Sammy Baugh. Samuel Adrian Baugh (born March 17, 1914 in Temple, Texas) is a former American football player [5] In an era where the forward pass was relatively rare, the Redskins used it as their primary method of gaining yards. "Slingin' Sammy" Baugh also played numerous other positions, including cornerback and punter.
With Baugh at the helm, the Redskins won the Eastern Division title and went back to the NFL Championship game in their first year in the Nation's Capital. The 1937 NFL Championship game pitted them against the Chicago Bears. The 1937 National Football League Championship game was the 5th annual championship game and was held December 12, 1937, at Wrigley Field in The Chicago Bears are a professional American football team based in Chicago, Illinois. Sammy Baugh threw three touchdown passes and the Redskins prevailed, 28-21. [13] The two teams would meet again in the 1940 Championship, and the Bears handed the Redskins the most lopsided defeat in NFL history, 73-0. The 1940 National Football League Championship Game, was the 8th in NFL history [13] The Redskins struck back in 1942, as George Preston Marshall used the 1940 humiliation as a rallying point and the Redskins upset the Bears to spoil their try for a perfect season, 14-6. The 1942 National Football League Championship game was the NFL's 10th title game [13] The teams clashed again the following season and the Bears would even the series at 2-2, capturing the 1943 NFL title, 41-21.

Integration and front-office
The team's early success endeared it to the fans of Washington, D.C. Washington DC ( formally the District of Columbia and commonly referred to as Washington, the District, or simply D However, after 1945, the Redskins began a slow decline. This was in part because of Marshall's tendency to micromanage the team. From 1946 to 1968, the Redskins had only three winning seasons. [10]
Marshall refused to integrate the team, despite pressure from the Washington Post and the Federal Government (a typical comment by Post writer Shirley Povich was "Cleveland Browns runner Jim Brown integrated the Redskins' end zone three times"). Racial integration, or simply integration includes Desegregation (the process of ending systematic Racial segregation) The Washington Post is the largest and most circulated Newspaper in Washington D The federal government of the United States is the central United States Governmental body established by the United States Constitution. Shirley Lewis Povich ( July 15, 1905 &ndash June 4, 1998) was a sports columnist and reporter for the Washington Post. The Cleveland Browns are a professional American football team based in Cleveland, Ohio. James Nathaniel "Jim" Brown (born February 17, 1936) is an American former professional football player who has also made [14]
Finally, in 1962, Interior Secretary Stewart Udall gave the Redskins an ultimatum--unless they signed a black player, the government would evict them from the year-old District of Columbia Stadium. The United States Secretary of the Interior is the head of the United States Department of the Interior. Stewart Lee Udall (born January 31, 1920) is a former American politician [15] As a result, the Redskins became the final pro football franchise to integrate, in 1962, its second season in the stadium. First, the team drafted Ernie Davis, the first black player to win the Heisman Trophy. Ernie Davis (December 14 1939 &ndash May 18 1963 was an American football Running back and the first African-American athlete to win the Heisman [15] Then, before signing Davis, they traded his rights to the Browns for wide receiver Bobby Mitchell. A wide receiver is an offensive position in American and Canadian football Robert Cornelius Mitchell (born June 6, 1935 in Hot Springs, Arkansas) is a former American football halfback and [15] Sadly, it turned out that Davis had leukemia and died without ever playing a down in professional football. Leukemia or leukaemia (Greek leukos λευκός, "white" aima αίμα, "blood" is a Cancer of the Blood Mitchell, however, was still in the first half of a career that would land him in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The Pro Football Hall of Fame is the Hall of fame of the National Football League (NFL [15]
Mitchell would be joined by black stars such as receiver Charley Taylor, running back Larry Brown (who had a hearing aid installed in his helmet due to near-total deafness), and defensive back Brig Owens. Charles Robert Taylor (born September 28, 1941 in Grand Prairie, Texas) is a former American football Wide receiver in Lawrence "Larry" Brown Jr (born September 19, 1947 in Clairton, Pennsylvania) is a former professional American football Brigman P Owens (born February 16, 1943 in Linden, Texas) is a former American football player in the National Football They would also pull off two of the best trades of the 1960s, gaining colorful quarterback Sonny Jurgensen from the Philadelphia Eagles and linebacker Sam Huff from the New York Giants. Christian Adolph "Sonny" Jurgensen III (born August 23, 1934) is a former American football Quarterback in the National Football The Philadelphia Eagles are a professional American football team based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

[16] But even with these additions, the Redskins were still not performing up to expectations. Although the team became more popular than ever, particularly with the addition of Mitchell, they struggled through the 1960s.
In the front office, Marshall had been forced to reduce his duties due to a mental decline in 1962, and the team's other stockholders found it difficult to make decisions without their boss. Marshall died in 1969, and the remaining stockholders sold the team to Edward Bennett Williams, a Washington resident and one of America's most esteemed attorneys. Edward Bennett Williams ( May 31, 1920 — August 13, 1988) was a legendary Washington D [17]
Also in 1969, D. C. Stadium was renamed Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium, and the Redskins hired future Hall of Famer Vince Lombardi — who gained fame coaching with the Green Bay Packers — to be their new head coach. Robert F Kennedy Memorial Stadium, better known as RFK Stadium or RFK, is a professional sports Stadium in Washington D Vincent Thomas Lombardi ( June 11, 1913 &ndash September 3, 1970) was an American football coach The Green Bay Packers are a professional American football team based in Green Bay Wisconsin.

"The future is now" was his slogan, and his players soon proved him right. [19]

Quarterback Joe Theismann, running back John Riggins, and receiver Art Monk got most of the publicity, but the Redskins were one of the few teams ever to have a famous offensive line.

The Redskins have the distinction of being the only team with no players crossing the picket line.

Snyder era
In 1997, Redskins owner Jack Kent Cooke died on the eve of the opening of the new stadium in suburban Landover, Maryland, that was to be named in his honor. Jack Kent Cooke ( October 25, 1912 – April 6, 1997) was a Canadian - American entrepreneur who became one of the most widely-known Landover is an area of Prince George's County in the State of Maryland in the United States of America. In his will, Cooke left the Redskins to the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation, with instructions that the foundation sell the team. His son, John Kent Cooke, was unable to raise sufficient funds to purchase the business, and the team was later sold to Daniel Snyder. Daniel M Snyder (born 1965 is the current owner of the Washington Redskins football team Chairman of the Board of Six Flags Inc [31]
In 1999, the Redskins made the playoffs for the first time since Joe Gibbs's retirement by winning the NFC East. The NFC East is a division of the National Football League 's National Football Conference. They beat the Detroit Lions 27-13 in a home wild card game,[13] but subsequently dropped their divisional playoff game in a 14-13 loss on the road to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Detroit Lions are an American football team based in Detroit Michigan. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (often shortened as the Bucs) are a professional American football team based in Tampa Florida. [13]
Snyder, who grew up as a Redskins fan and who made his fortune in marketing, has made many controversial moves since owning the team, including offering the name of the stadium up to corporate bidders. FedEx had the highest bid, and the stadium is now named FedEx Field. FedEx Corporation ( is a Logistics services company based in the United States. FedExField (originally Jack Kent Cooke Stadium) is a football Stadium located in Landover, an unincorporated community near the Capital The most controversial habit Snyder has practiced is the continuous hiring and firing of head coaches, first firing incumbent coach Norv Turner, firing replacement Marty Schottenheimer after only one season, and in 2002, hiring University of Florida head coach Steve Spurrier to replace Schottenheimer. Norval Eugene Turner (born May 17, 1952 at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina) is the Head coach for the National Football League Martin Edward Schottenheimer (born September 23, 1943 in Canonsburg Pennsylvania) is a former American football coach The University of Florida ( Florida or UF) is a public land-grant, sea-grant, space-grant major Research Stephen Orr Spurrier (born April 20, 1945 in Miami Beach Florida) is a former American football player and currently the head coach Spurrier resigned after the 2003 season with three years left on his contract.
For the 2004 season, Snyder successfully lured former coach Joe Gibbs away from NASCAR to return as head coach and team president. Joe Jackson Gibbs (born November 25, 1940) is a Hall of Fame American football coach and NASCAR Championship team owner The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing ( NASCAR) is the largest sanctioning body of Stock cars in the United States. His employment came with a promise of decreased intervention in football operations from Snyder. [32] Snyder also expanded FedEx Field to a league-high capacity of 91,665 seats. FedExField (originally Jack Kent Cooke Stadium) is a football Stadium located in Landover, an unincorporated community near the Capital Gibbs's return to the franchise did not pay instant dividends as the Redskins finished the 2004 season with a record of 6 wins and 10 losses.
Despite an impressive defense, the team struggled offensively. Quarterback Mark Brunell—an off-season acquisition from the Jacksonville Jaguars—struggled in his first season, and was replaced midway through the season by backup Patrick Ramsey. Mark Allen Brunell (born September 17, 1970 in Santa Maria, California) is an American football Quarterback for the Patrick Jones Ramsey (born February 14, 1979 in Ruston, Louisiana) is an American football player in the National Football League On the other hand, some of Gibbs's other new signings, such as cornerback Shawn Springs and linebacker Marcus Washington, did very well.

Partly because owner Dan Snyder has turned the Redskins into the greatest revenue producer in pro football, he has spent a lot of money on free agents. These moves did not work out well in the beginning (Bruce Smith, Deion Sanders), but the quality of free agents signed under Coach Gibbs has improved by signing or trading for stars such as Cornelius Griffin, Santana Moss, and Clinton Portis.

Hoping to improve on the previous season's dismal passing attack, Coach Gibbs added former Jacksonville Jaguars offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave as his quarterbacks coach. William Scott Musgrave (born November 11, 1967 in Grand Junction Colorado) is the current quarterbacks coach for the NFL 's Atlanta Falcons For the first time under Gibbs, the Redskins offense utilized the shotgun formation. The shotgun formation is a formation used by the Offensive team in American and Canadian football.
The team won its first three games, including a Monday Night Football victory over Dallas, but then fell into a slump, including three straight losses in November, which lessened the chances of the team making the playoffs. However, five consecutive victories at the end of the season allowed Washington to finish the season at 10-6, qualifying for the playoffs as a wild card team. The National Football League playoffs following the 2005 National Football League season led up to Super Bowl XL. The term wild card refers broadly to a Tournament or Playoff berth awarded to an individual or team that has not qualified through normal play They opened the playoffs on the road against the NFC South champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Saturday, January 7, 2006. The NFC South is a division of the National Football League 's National Football Conference. They won the rematch by a final score of 17-10,[13] after taking an early 14-0 lead, which they later seemed to have squandered until replay evidence showed that an apparent touchdown that would have tied the game was in fact an incomplete pass. In that game, the Redskins broke the record for fewest offensive yards (120) gained in a playoff victory, with one of their two touchdowns being from a defensive run after a fumble recovery. The following weekend, they played the Seattle Seahawks, who had received a first round bye. The Seattle Seahawks are a professional American football team based in Seattle Washington, USA The Seahawks defeated the Redskins 20-10,[13] ending the Redskins' hopes of reaching their first NFC Championship Game since 1991.
Three team records were broken during the 2005 season. Clinton Portis set the Redskins record for rushing yards in a season with 1,516 yards, breaking Stephen Davis's 2001 mark of 1,432 yards and Santana Moss's 1,483 receiving yards broke Bobby Mitchell's 1963 record of 1,436 yards.

The inconsistency of the offense during the 2005 season resulted in Gibbs hiring offensive coordinator Al Saunders as the Associate Head Coach - Offense. Al Saunders (born February 1, 1947) is an American football coach An offensive coordinator typically refers to the coach on a American football team who is in charge of the offense. Saunders came from a similar background as Gibbs through being mentored under Don Coryell and was thought to be able to make the offense become more efficient. Don Coryell (born October 17, 1924) is a former American football coach who coached in the NFL first with the St Saunders would serve as the primary playcaller. Because of this, it was believed that Gibbs would have the role of Head Coach/CEO with the Redskins in 2006 and would largely deal with personnel matters, as well as having more time to focus on special teams and defense, while Saunders would supplement Gibbs with the offense. Gibbs also added former Buffalo Bills defensive coordinator Jerry Gray to his staff as Secondary/Cornerbacks Coach. Gibbs did lose quarterbacks coach Bill Musgrave to the Atlanta Falcons over the summer of 2006. William Scott Musgrave (born November 11, 1967 in Grand Junction Colorado) is the current quarterbacks coach for the NFL 's Atlanta Falcons The Atlanta Falcons are an American football team based in Atlanta Georgia.
After winning only three of the first nine games of the Washington Redskin's 2006 season Gibbs, in an effort to save some portion of their season, benched starting quarter back Mark Brunell in favor of former first round draft pick Jason Campbell. Mark Allen Brunell (born September 17, 1970 in Santa Maria, California) is an American football Quarterback for the Jason Campbell (born December 31, 1981 in Laurel, Mississippi, U After losing his first game as a starter to Tampa Bay, Campbell got his first NFL victory against the Carolina Panthers, bringing the Redskins out of a three-game losing streak. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (often shortened as the Bucs) are a professional American football team based in Tampa Florida. The Carolina Panthers are a professional football team based in Charlotte North Carolina, representing both North Carolina and South Carolina in the The Redskins finished 5-11 after a home loss to the New York Giants, 34-28. The New York Giants are a professional American football team based in the New York City suburb of East Rutherford New Jersey. Washington finished last in the NFC East division, the only team in their division to fail to make the playoffs. The NFC East is a division of the National Football League 's National Football Conference. This marked the second losing season in Joe Gibbs' second term as head coach of the franchise.
Analysts differ on exactly why the 2006 season was such a failure. Some point to free agent signings such as strong safety Adam Archuleta and wide receiver Brandon Lloyd. Adam Jason Archuleta (born November 27, 1977 in) is an American football Linebacker and safety who is a Free agent in Brandon Matthew Lloyd (born July 5, 1981 in Kansas City, Missouri) is an American football Wide receiver for the Chicago Others point to the disconnect between the offensive philosophies of Gibbs and Saunders: Gibbs preferring a power-running scheme while Saunders desired an aggressive pass-oriented style. Many looked to the breakdowns in defensive coordinator Gregg Williams's system, while some point to specific player breakdowns in the porous secondary such as the struggles of defensive backs Carlos Rogers, Sean Taylor, and Archuleta, allowing a league high 30 TD passes, and accumulating an NFL low 6 interceptions. Carlos Rogers may refer to Carlos Rogers (basketball Carlos Rogers (American football Sean Michael Maurice Taylor ( April 1 1983 &ndash November 27 2007) was an American football free safety who The defense went from 7th overall in 2005 to 29th in 2006.
Logo and uniforms
The Washington Redskins' primary colors are burgundy and gold. They are one of the three NFL teams that primarily wear their white jerseys at home (the others being the Dallas Cowboys and the Miami Dolphins). The Dallas Cowboys are a professional American football team in the Eastern Division of the National Football Conference (NFC in the National The Miami Dolphins are a professional American football team based in the Miami Florida Metropolitan Area. The tradition of wearing white jerseys at home was started by Joe Gibbs when he took over as coach in 1981. Joe Jackson Gibbs (born November 25, 1940) is a Hall of Fame American football coach and NASCAR Championship team owner Gibbs was an assistant for the San Diego Chargers in 1979 and 1980, and the Chargers wore white at home during the tenure of coach Don Coryell in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The San Diego Chargers are a professional American football team based in San Diego California. Don Coryell (born October 17, 1924) is a former American football coach who coached in the NFL first with the St
Their burgundy jersey (which is primarily used for when the opposing team decides to wear white at home, which comes mostly against the Dallas Cowboys and occasionally the Philadelphia Eagles) consists of burgundy jerseys and white pants. The Dallas Cowboys are a professional American football team in the Eastern Division of the National Football Conference (NFC in the National The Philadelphia Eagles are a professional American football team based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In 2001, however, the Redskins wore burgundy at home per a decision by Marty Schottenheimer, their coach for that year. The other combination of burgundy jerseys and gold pants was used mostly in the past and for the 2002 season, when the Redskins celebrated their 70th anniversary and wore these colors at home.
The Redskins' current uniform design was introduced by coach Jack Pardee in 1979. John Perry Pardee (born in Exira, Iowa) is a former American football Linebacker and the only head coach to join a team in the National From 1972 through 1978, the Redskins wore gold pants with both the burgundy and white jerseys. Gold face masks were introduced in 1978 and remain to this day.
Their white jersey consists of three combinations. One is the white jerseys and burgundy pants, which is considered the "classic" look. The other (and lesser known) combination is the white jerseys and gold pants, which was used in the past when they weren't wearing their burgundy jersey. The last combination consists of both white jerseys and pants. That particular combination surfaced in the first game of the 2003 season on a nationally televised game against the New York Jets, which led to many sports fans and Redskin faithful alike to point out that they have never seen that particular combination. The New York Jets are a professional American football team based in the New York metropolitan area. That year the Redskins wore it two more times. That look didn't appear again until midway through the 2005 season when the Redskins wore it in a road game against the St. Louis Rams. The St Louis Rams are a professional American football team based in St The Redskins won six games (including one in the playoffs against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers wearing that combination) and the local media jokingly pointed out that the reason why the Redskins were winning was because of the white on white combination. In the NFC Divisional Game against the eventual 2005 NFC Champion Seattle Seahawks, the Redskins wore the all-white jerseys, in hopes that they could keep their luck going; however, they lost 20-10. The Seattle Seahawks are a professional American football team based in Seattle Washington, USA The Redskins have continued to wear the white jerseys and white pants into the 2006 preseason. In the 2006 season, the Redskins started wearing black cleats, something that hasn't been done for quite a while. It was a surprise because they wore white cleats during the preseason. They would have to wear that color for the rest of the season, because the NFL usually asks teams to choose either black or white cleats to be worn throughout the season.
From 1981 through 2000, the Redskins always wore white at home. This changed in 2001. The Redskins wore their burgundy uniforms for all their home games under new head coach Marty Schottenheimer. In 2002, the Redskins wore white for their home opener due to the heat and then switched to burgundy for the remainder of the season. In 2003, the Redskins wore white at home during preseason and September before switching to burgundy starting in October. In 2004, with the return of Joe Gibbs as head coach, the Redskins switched to wearing white for all their home games.
After the white-on-white period which lasted from the mid/late 2005 season into 2006, the classic uniform of white jerseys over burgundy pants reappeared on November 26, 2006, in a home game against the Carolina Panthers. The Carolina Panthers are a professional football team based in Charlotte North Carolina, representing both North Carolina and South Carolina in the The decision to return to the classic look may have symbolized a desire by the team to turn a new page on their 2006 season, which had been very lackluster previous to that game, the period of success with the white jerseys over white pants having come to an end the previous season. The move may have also been related to the fact that this home game was the second start and first home start of second-year quarterback Jason Campbell, and that the game and the previous week's game were, in the hopes and perceptions of many Redskins fans, the start of the "Jason Campbell era. " The Redskins went on to win that game against Carolina, preserving slim hopes of the team's being able to make it to the 2006 playoffs, although they ultimately missed the playoffs.
In celebration of the franchise's 75th anniversary, the Redskins wore a special throwback uniform for the September 23, 2007 game against the New York Giants. Players wore a white jersey with burgundy and gold stripes on the sleeves and the 75th anniversary logo on the left chest. The pants were gold with white and burgundy stripes down the side. The helmet was yellow-colored with a maroon "R" logo. The helmet and uniform styles (besides the anniversary patch) were the same as the ones the franchise used during the 1970-71 seasons. The legendary Vince Lombardi, who coached the Redskins in 1969 before passing away, was the inspiration behind the helmet. Lombardi pushed for the logo, which sat inside a white circle with Indian feathers hanging down from the side, because of its similarity to the "G" on the helmets worn by his Green Bay Packers for many years.
Accusations of Racism
Some activists consider the namesake and logo of the Washington Redskins racist towards Native Americans. The use of Native American mascots in sports has become a contentious issue in the United States and Canada. [33] Lately there has been movements by certain groups to change the name[34], but the attempts have been unsuccessful. Many make the case in defense that their (The Redskins) name is intended to honor the bravery and dignity of Native Americans and that, regardless of past usage, the word "redskins" today refers to the football team. The activists argue that no matter what the intent is, the term has always been a negative and racist word. [35]. Notwithstanding the complaints of the activists, a 2002 poll commissioned by Sports Illustrated found that 75% of those Native Americans surveyed had no objection to the Redskins name. Sports Illustrated is an American Sports Magazine owned by media conglomerate Time Warner.
