The Washington Redskins name and iconic logo that the NFL team in the nation's capital abandoned in 2020 is back in a manner of speaking. It's on full display and for sale in the team's current merchandise shop.

Although the gear bearing the Redskins name is rare and limited to a Mitchell & Ness throwback line of T-shirts or jerseys bearing the name of former players who played with the Redskins name and helmet insignia, it is indeed for sale.

Anyone can go to the brick-and-mortar store at Northwest Stadium or online and buy, for example, an Art Monk T-shirt bearing the Pro Football Hall Fame receiver's likeness in his old uniform and in his Redskins helmet.

TAYLOR HEINICKE RETIRES FROM THE NFL WITH A FAREWELL SALUTE TO THE WASHINGTON REDSKINS

The back of that T-shirt is emblazoned with "Washington Redskins" and Monk's career statistics and records. The shirt costs $49.99.

For the same price, fans can purchase a Sean Taylor T-Shirt with the likeness of the former safety in his Redskins uniform before he was tragically slain in 2007. Like Monk, Taylor played for the Redskins, not the Washington Commanders.

Taylor's retired No. 21 jersey, complete with the Redskins name on the front and a 75th anniversary Washington Redskins patch, is available for $114.99.

The interesting thing about this is the franchise is marketing this gear emblazoned with Washington Redskins script and logos as Commanders gear.

The jersey, for example, is described as a Sean Taylor Black Washington Commanders Retired Player Name & Number Mesh Top – even though the Commanders nickname does not appear on the jersey.

NFL AND CONGRESS DISCUSS RETURN OF THE WASHINGTON REDSKINS LOGO

This is what happens when an NFL franchise builds a long and storied history as the Washington Redskins from 1937 to 2019, then decides the Redskins nickname is racist or otherwise offensive under pressure from liberal fans, some Native American groups and sponsors.

The Washington Commanders, as they're known now, have vowed never to return to the Redskins nickname.

Current owner Josh Harris said in September 2023 that he understands the nostalgia for the former name but that "there was a portion of our fan base that felt disrespected by the former name."

So why, if the Redskins name is bothersome, are the Commanders selling Redskins merchandise? And why are they later this season wearing an alternate helmet with a spear piercing the W insignia, much like the old feathered arrow helmet the Redskins wore in the 1960s?

The spear that is part of the so-called "Raise Hail" alternate uniform is an obvious reach at Redskins nostalgia.

The gear in the team gift shop is being made available to keep the old trademark in commercial use, according to WUSA9 in Washington.

"We are required to maintain the marks in commercial usage so that marks remain under franchise control," a club spokesman told the television station.

A trademark may be deemed abandoned if its use is discontinued with intent not resume use. The Lanham Act says that three consecutive years of nonuse is prima facie evidence of abandonment.

The statutory standard also requires "bona fide use … in the ordinary course of trade," rather than merely token sales made solely to reserve rights.

That might be a problem for the Commanders because their contention is that these Redskins items are sold on a limited availability.

It should be noted that there are Native American groups who believe the Redskins nickname to be indeed racist. But other native individuals, including a Navajo Code Talkers Association leader and a former Blackfeet tribal chairman, have publicly supported retaining the old nickname and the Native-profile logo.

Walter "Blackie" Wetzel, a former chairman of the Blackfeet Tribe and former president of the National Congress of American Indians, helped persuade the club in 1972 to replace its "R" helmet logo with the Native chief helmet portrait most associated with the team.

In a 2002 interview, Wetzel said: "It made us all so proud to have an Indian on a big-time team. It’s only a small group of radicals who oppose those names. Indians are proud of Indians."

His mother, Erin Pysher, told Fox News Digital her son was not armed when he was allegedly "shot twice" by an officer.

"He's never been in trouble—he was a good kid. I don't know what prompted the cop to think that the shooting was necessary," she said.

Before he was fatally shot, he was "bar-hopping with friends" and walked up to a home on the street he had mistaken for a friend's and tried to get in, his mother said.

"I dropped him off with his friends at a bar to celebrate his friend's 21st birthday," she said. After the bar, the men were headed to a friend's house to continue their evening.

The friends eventually split up, Pysher said. She told Fox News Digital her son opted to walk to the house.

"He was the biggest sweetheart—carefree and loving. He loved life, loved hanging out with his friends, and fishing.

"He was a great kid; I couldn't ask for a better son. A little jokester—we had our inside jokes, and he loved teasing his three younger sisters. There's a huge hole in our life without him. He was the best kid ever; I don't know how else to describe him," Erin Pysher said.

A Charlotte man indicted on five felony counts accusing him of threatening mass shootings against five area public schools was released from jail just three days before students were scheduled to return to class.

Drew Andres Owens, 33, was released from the Mecklenburg County Jail at 11:30 a.m. on Aug. 22, according to jail records. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools students were scheduled to return on Aug. 25.

A Mecklenburg County grand jury indicted Owens in March 2025 on five counts of communicating threats of mass violence on educational property. He has pleaded not guilty, and the cases remain pending.

THREE SCHOOL SAFETY STEPS EVERY PARENT SHOULD KNOW BEFORE CLASSES BEGIN

Four counts allege Owens sent emails on Feb. 15, 2025, threatening West Charlotte High School, Ardrey Kell High School, Community House Middle School and Hawk Ridge Elementary School.

According to court documents reviewed by Fox News Digital, Owens allegedly sent messages threatening to "slaughter staff and students."

A separate indictment alleges a mailed threat against Garinger High School. The affidavit claimed that a student, who was armed with two shotguns and an AR-15, would carry out the mass shooting. School administrators later determined that no student by that name was enrolled there, according to the affidavit.

The warrant affidavit states that Darryl Owens, Drew's father and a West Charlotte High School ROTC instructor, told police he also believed his son was responsible for the school threats.

FIRST ON FOX: There’s an ugly political fight brewing in the Lone Star State over data centers, and both candidates running for Senate are racing each other to unveil their plans to slow the AI boom in Texas.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is rolling out his own plan to address what has become a political pressure point in Texas politics during this midterm cycle: how to add guardrails to the explosion of data centers across the state as voters’ concerns rise about skyrocketing power and water costs.

The four-point plan, first obtained by Fox News Digital, details steps at the federal and state levels on the issue and comes in the waning weeks of a closely watched contest for power in the Senate between Paxton and state Sen. James Talarico, the Democratic nominee.

LONGTIME GOP AIDE DEFECTS TO DEM RISING STAR AS TEXAS SENATE BATTLE FOR CORNYN'S SEAT HEATS UP

"There’s no doubt in my mind that the United States will beat the Chinese Communist Party in the AI race," Paxton said in a statement. "This plan will ensure that happens while putting Texas First, protecting our culture and land, and safeguarding our families and communities. My plan will also work to ensure that data centers are not utilized to power AI platforms that endanger our children."

His plan comes after Talarico, who has used the issue of data centers as a political cudgel against Paxton, convened bipartisan roundtables and hit the Republican nominee for taking in nearly $500,000 in campaign donations to a variety of political action committees (PACs) that support him.

"Ken Paxton took nearly half a million dollars from data center companies and has ignored Texans in Hood County who asked him to help block a data center development in their community," Talarico campaign spokesperson JT Ennis told Fox News Digital.

"While Ken Paxton funnels data center money into his campaign, James is fighting to hold data centers accountable. Texans can’t afford a Senator who’s bought by big data center companies," he continued. "Texans can’t afford Ken Paxton’s corruption."

A SOUTHERN STATE JUST TOOK THE TOP SPOT IN ONE OF THE WORLD’S FASTEST-GROWING INDUSTRIES

He’s also not scot-free from receiving data center-adjacent money, either.

Talarico’s political operation, through his Lone Star Rising PAC, has received about $10 million from LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, an advocate for data centers who has argued about the value that they present in the AI arms race against China.

"While James Talarico and his campaign infrastructure accept millions of dollars from data center-affiliated donors and put their interests first, I will lead with Texans at the forefront. That’s exactly why I am proud to release my 4-Point Plan that will put Texans First and protect our communities," Paxton said.

The first three pillars of Paxton’s plan address actions against data centers at the federal level.

They would see Paxton author two bills in the Senate to prevent Chinese technology from powering data centers or being used in American infrastructure and creating criminal liabilities for data center companies if the centers empower AI chatbots that undermine children's safety.

ONE MONTHLY BILL AMERICANS CAN’T AVOID IS QUIETLY SURGING THANKS TO EMERGING INDUSTRY: DATA

He would also join as a co-sponsor on the DATA Act, a bill from Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., that would create a new federal category for data centers to produce their own independent power away from preexisting power grids.

Talarico’s offering would repeal state tax exemptions for data centers, mandate that data centers cover 100% of grid connection costs, and require closed-loop water recycling systems. It would also give local governments the power to veto project developments.

Paxton similarly wants to undo sales tax exemptions for data centers, something he notably supported over a decade ago while in the state legislature.

Back in 2013, when he was serving as a freshman state senator in the Texas Legislature, Paxton voted in favor of 100% sales tax exemptions for data centers, which passed on a nearly unanimous vote out of the state Senate.

While that exemption required a hefty ground-floor investment of $200 million and employment requirements to receive, it also sparked the present-day boom in data centers.

Meanwhile, at the state level, Paxton would also push Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s new directive unveiled earlier this month to effectively freeze the data center explosion.

Abbott touted earlier this week that his directive has so far halted roughly 1,800 data center projects in the Lone Star State. It requires data centers to disclose how much power they’re using and whether they will produce independent power, their water consumption, financial incentives they’ve received, a plan to lower the impact on local communities and documented ownership of the center.

"These guidelines are now the universally applied standard in Texas," Abbott said on X.

There is no worse feeling in life than when a loved one passes away. And when that individual has not communicated his or her wishes or shared key information, that can add an additional burden of time, money and stress to loved ones’ grief.

As August is National Make a Will Month, here are four suggestions to help you make sure you have your will made and updated in a manner that will help your loved ones sort through your estate and continue your legacy in the best manner possible.

CEO’S FIRE DEATH SPARKS MYSTERY, WILL FIGHT OVER TECH TITAN'S FORTUNE

When it comes to estate planning, having a will is important. Having one that is done properly is more important. There are online services that can help you, but I recommend meeting with a local estate planning attorney.

Not only will a professional make sure that your wishes are accounted for properly, but they will understand state-specific requirements and regulations.

Moreover, many estate planning attorneys can help with more than just the legal aspects of estate planning; they can also help or find you someone to help with tax planning and any related entities, such as trusts, to make sure your assets are passed down in the most tax-efficient manner.

As you meet with an estate planning professional or your accountant, you can explore making gifts to loved ones today. This may bring you more satisfaction, so that you can see your loved ones benefit from what you plan to leave them instead of waiting until you are gone.

In 2026, you can gift $19,000 individually ($38,000 for married couples) per person, tax free for the year. Again, consult a professional for assistance to make sure you are crossing all your "t’s" and dotting your "is" regarding any gifting.

Also, if you have family members who can handle the discussion, dividing up possessions, whether passed now or later, as a family can help minimize fighting among family members down the road.

Moreover, many in the younger generations aren’t interested in the same physical mementos as those who are older. If you have a china set or a collection of statues that hasn’t been used in years, and nobody in the family wants them, you can explore making plans for disposal now – whether that means selling or donating the items. This can generate extra cash, tax deductions or even find a home with someone who you know will enjoy them.

As a bonus, it will create less "cleanup" down the road for loved ones.

MAN ACCUSED OF STEALING MORE THAN $735K AS POWER OF ATTORNEY TO PURCHASE PROPERTY, ONLYFANS AND LIFE COACHING

One of the biggest issues I have seen with those who have wills is that their loved ones can’t find it (or don’t know which is the most recent copy). Preparing your wishes and information but not making them accessible to your loved ones defeats the purpose.

Put your will, along with other key information (like a listing of your financial accounts and advisors or a key to your safe deposit box) and any personal wishes in a legacy and wishes planning kit. You can use one like the kit I created after my father’s passing, Future File, or you can make your own if you prefer.

Whichever route you go, make sure your family members either have access to your kit and its contents now or know how to access it and can do so in case of an emergency or if you pass.

OLIVER TREE MADE EERIE COMMENTS ABOUT HIS WILL WEEKS BEFORE FATAL HELICOPTER CRASH IN RIO DE JANEIRO

A friend of mine’s mother was gravely ill and told my friend about her will. When my friend had an estate planning attorney review it, it turned out that it did not reflect what her mother’s current wishes were; rather, it contained some changes other family members had suggested many years ago that her mother had forgotten about.

If this hadn’t been reviewed, her mother would not have left her assets to her grandchildren, but rather to distant cousins.

That underscores why it is important to review your will regularly and make any updates if circumstances change over the years.

Additionally, if you have financial accounts, retirement plans or policies, such as insurance policies, that have beneficiaries, make sure that those are up to date, accurate and match your wishes. Beneficiary designations supersede wills, and so beneficiaries will receive the payments, even if they differ from your will. Check this on a regular basis as you review and update your will.

Saving your loved ones dozens of hours of time, giving them peace of mind and reducing uncertainty and even infighting during a very difficult time are the best things that you can leave behind as part of your legacy. That only happens with the proper planning today.

Jessica Bowie, a 35-year-old woman from upstate New York, is now facing terrorism charges after authorities allege she converted to Islam, swore allegiance to the Islamic State group and plotted to bomb the State Capitol building — just weeks before the U.S. will mark 25 years since the Sept. 11 terror attacks.

According to the FBI, she became a Muslim five years ago and took on a new name, Aisha Saif.

The FBI arrested Bowie after she allegedly enlisted a group of confidential informants in her plot, thinking they were ISIS handlers, under the impression she was arranging for them to turn bomb-making materials she'd purchased into an explosive device and to provide her a handgun.

Bowie allegedly praised the terrorists behind the 9/11 attacks that killed 2,977 people on Sept. 11, 2001, according to court documents.

The federal criminal complaint has few details about her alleged embrace of terrorism from before May 2026, but authorities say she was radicalized at some point online.

She had also allegedly lost multiple social media accounts for violating their terms of service with her posts, according to the criminal complaint — in separate posts in May, she allegedly wrote about poisoning "infidels" and "praise be to Allah for September 11th." By the end of the month, she'd allegedly sworn allegiance to ISIS.

"The key with these sorts of cases is the initial lead," said Paul Mauro, a retired NYPD inspector and Fox News contributor with experience working counter-terrorism cases. "This can come in a number of ways. We criticize social media plenty, but the fact that she was repeatedly banned on these platforms could have been a crucial pointer."

By July, according to the complaint, she was allegedly using encrypted apps to post support for radical Islamic terror and anti-American rhetoric.

On July 16, she allegedly told an FBI informant that she had begun thinking about "Jehad" more seriously over the past several months. She was also allegedly posting online about how she was sharing ISIS propaganda and attempting to recruit.

In July and August, Bowie allegedly made five visits to scout the State Capitol.

On Aug. 5, photos released by the Justice Department allegedly show her buying bomb-making materials at a Rensselaer Home Depot store, including a large bucket of nails that was allegedly meant for shrapnel. "We definitely want to make sure the senators get killed for sure," she allegedly told an informant.

On Aug. 13, she allegedly asked an FBI informant whom she thought was an ISIS operative for help obtaining a handgun, according to the complaint.

On Aug. 19, the FBI arrested her after she allegedly gave $350 to a pair of FBI informants and got out of their vehicle carrying an inert handgun and dummy explosive that they'd given her, according to the complaint.

"There's no helping me," she allegedly told the FBI after being read her Miranda rights. "You guys know enough...I'm going to prison for the rest of my life."

She added that she'd already looked up potential sentences online.

"Material support is up to 20 years in prison," she said, according to the complaint. "I already googled it before. I know I'm going to jail."

Earlier that day, she allegedly told an FBI informant that she had grown from "a little girl waving an American flag after 9/11 to now having stickers of the falling towers." She was 10 years old on Sept. 11, 2001.

Bowie, who also has addresses listed in Schenectady, allegedly planned to hide a bomb in a DoorDash delivery bag at the New York State Capitol, according to the complaint.

"I want to destroy as much of the building as possible and kill the senators while they are meeting," she allegedly told an informant. "I want them to lose a lot of important documents as well"

Then she allegedly wanted to escape to Syria before returning to the U.S. in the future for more attacks.

A woman who picked up a call to the number listed for Bowie's mother hung up when contacted by Fox News Digital Friday.
