Hallmark "NFL Collection: Washington Redskins" Christmas Ornament, 2001
01
Artifact Overview
The National Football League team headquartered near Washington, D.C., retired its controversial nickname and mascot in 2020. The move followed decades of protest against the name -- a derogatory reference to Indigenous Americans -- and logo, which depicted a Native American man. This high-profile change reflected a gradual shift away from the persistent use of racist stereotypes and cultural appropriations across every level of American sports.
