However, the name Redskins will not return, because Harris explained as much to Bret Baier on “Special Report”.
“The names of the commanders really took an incredible element in our building,” said Harris to Baier’s question on the names of the Redskins who returns as part of this new stadium agreement. “Thus, people that certain types of players are hard, who love football, are delegated commanders and Jayden [Daniels]For example, is a commander and they are classified.

“And, you know, corporate staff have entered, and obviously, we are in a military city here. There are more military staff than everywhere else, so we are moving forward with the names of the commanders, excited about it, and not looking back.”
The mayor of Washington, Muriel Bowser, announced that the leaders of the government of the Columbia district and commanders were concluded an agreement to return to the site of the RFK stadium, which is now awaiting approval from the DC municipal council.
Congress legislators supported Harris to return to the old stadium site provided that the team and the NFL honor the former Redskins logo. Senator Steve Daines, R-Mont., Said he would support the organization in the future with his plan after “good faith negotiations” with the two entities.

“We called leaders in the event of really, Woke went wrong,” said Daines in November. “The irony that they canceled the Amerindian culture as a movement of I went too far. He honored a chief of black person who was born in Montana. He is very estimated. The black feet tribe of Montana, their current president and the tribal council signed a strong support letter to bring the logo. It honors the Indian country.
“We have good discussions with the NFL and with commanders. There is in good faith in the negotiations in the future which allow this logo to be again.
Harris told Baier that hope is that construction will start on site in 2027, the targeted opening day for 2030.

Baier also asked if the RFK stadium will remain the name despite the fact that it is a new stadium.
“We are going to get closer to our inheritance as possible, right? So, I think that name should be part of it,” replied Harris.
