I think the reality is that Washington has used the old logo recently. If I recall when they did the tribute to Darrell Green the logo was plainly displayed and oft used. It is part of our history, a part of our beloved history and we shouldn't avoid it. Even if you consider it controversial or defamatory (it's not imo) you shouldn't. After all, whitewashing history doesn't improve the present.
So while people are getting excited about this, I fear it's much ado about nothing.
