The original logo for the Washington Commanders featured a shield with an eagle on it and two stars representing D.C.'s status as both a state and the federal district of America at that time; this was used from 1970 until 1980 when new owners took over control of the franchise and decided to update their branding accordingly, particularly in relation to the Washington Commanders Alternate logo. In 1981 they unveiled their new logo which featured an updated version of this same shield but with three stars instead - symbolizing all three branches (executive, legislative & judicial) of government that make up our nation's capital city! This iteration remained unchanged until 1994 when another redesign saw them switch out those stars for four white stripes running horizontally across the top part of the design to signify strength and unity among players playing together as one unit - similar to how states come together under the USA flag form union within the country itself!

In 2003 yet another change occurred where the current owner re-introduced the previous Shield Logo but added “DC” lettering underneath to symbolize the home base being located in District Columbia directly below the nameplate itself; also changed colors to blue and red to reflect the national colors of the United States of America respectively while still keeping the overall look of feel consistent past designs before it so fans could recognize brand easily even after these alterations were made over time period mentioned earlier! Ultimately though no matter what variations have taken place since its inception in 1970 iconic emblem will always remain synonymous organization forever more due to its long-standing association with many generations of people who have followed and supported them along the way throughout the decades now counting down towards future success sure brings much joy everyone involved near far alike eventually soon enough too hopefully sooner than later!!
