As ProFootballTalk goes on to write, the former Redskins players exploring possible legal means to block the Commanders' new "Hogs” mascot are Joe Jacoby, Mark May, John Riggins, Fred Dean, and Doc Walker, who all played on the Redskins' offensive line in the `80s and `90s, the same period the team won three Super Bowl Titles, according to Sports Illustrated (SI). Men and women wearing hog noses and dressed in women's clothing known as the "hogettes" are also part of Redskins tradition. In 2013, the "hogettes" fan practice was discontinued, according to New York Daily news.
According to O-Line Entertainment, LLC's statement (via CBS Sports) "Dan Snyder and the Washington Commanders are trying to profit off the original HOGS legacy by taking that trademark and associated goodwill and brand equity of the original HOGS." The Commanders were set to unveil the Hogs mascot in a week 17 matchup against the Cleveland Browns, as CBS Sports explains. Former Redskins coach Joe Gibbs (pictured) and the return of the "Hogettes” were also planned for the ceremony. Gibbs helped lead Washington to the three Super Bowl Titles in the `80s and `90s and remains Washington's winningest football coach (per Britannica).
