Washington Redskins Franchise Information

Franchise History:

1937-present Washington Redskins (NFL)
1933-1936 Boston Redskins (NFL)
1932 Boston Braves (NFL)

George Preston Marshall acquired an NFL franchise in 1932 and named it the Boston Braves after the city’s Major League Baseball team. However, after a financially devastating and poorly attended season in 1932, Marshall abandoned the Braves name in favor of the Redskins. The Redskins name was retained when the team was moved to Washington in 1937.
