This is an alternate logo of a team that plays in the National Football League, the Washington Redskins, used from 1960 until 1965. Although the team has been a fairly successful NFL franchise, they did not manage a winning season during this era, and in fact had the worst record in franchise history (1-12-1) in 1961. They also were involved in a controversy involving the integration of the team, as owner George Preston Marshall, an avowed racist, had refused to allow a black player on his roster. Under pressure from the U.S. government, Marshall finally relented in 1962 and traded with the Cleveland Browns for Bobby Mitchell, a halfback who played wide receiver for the ‘Skins and wound up having a Hall of Fame-caliber career.
