The Commanders began their journey in 1932 with their founding in Boston as the Boston Braves. The following year, along with a change of stadium, they also changed their name to the Boston Redskins. In 1936, they reached the NFL championship game but failed to win the title. After the season, then-owner George Marshal relocated the team to Washington, citing lack of interest in Boston. The 1937 season started with the Redskins in Washington and ended in their favor, with the team winning their first NFL championship. From that year on, for 82 years, the world of American football recognized the franchise as the Washington Redskins. During the 1940-1945 period, they reached the NFL championship game four times and won another title in 1942. From the end of this successful period until 1971, and after the merger of the NFL and AFL championships, the Redskins went through their worst period in terms of achievements. With the hiring of George Allen in 1971, they made it to the playoffs after many years, and in 1972 they faced the Miami Dolphins in the Super Bowl final, but were defeated. The 1980s were by far the best decade for the Redskins organization, as in 1982, with Joe Gibbs as head coach, they won their first Super Bowl against the Dolphins, and the following season the Raiders would deny them their second consecutive title in the final. However, they would return for another Super Bowl in 1987, in which they defeated the Denver Broncos with a historic comeback. Their third and last Super Bowl victory to date came in 1991, in a season where the Redskins had one of the best offensive units in NFL history, combined with several records. In 2020, the organization was forced to change its logo and name, as "Redskins" was considered to be racially offensive to Native Americans, and so in 2020 the team played as the Washington Football Team, and the following year adopted its current name, the Washington Commanders.
