Redskins merchandise sells out within 48 hours after limited return
Summary

The Washington Commanders' limited-edition Redskins merchandise sold out in under 48 hours, following its release on August 28. The collection features items honoring former players such as Art Monk, Darrell Green, and Sean Taylor. Merchandise sales are part of the team's effort to keep control of the retired branding. The Commanders emphasized they do not plan to reinstate the Redskins name, which was retired in 2020 due to concerns of offense to Native Americans. The sale has faced backlash from the Association on American Indian Affairs, which criticized the revival of the former name and imagery.
