In my own childhood home, there is still a collector’s edition Redskins-branded Monopoly game, made in 2005. The change will transform jerseys and memorabilia from the merchandise of an active team to artifacts of its racist former name. But while those images are affixed to disposable food items, the Redskins name and logo appear on innumerable pieces of merchandise that fans had no plans to get rid of. Some of them are old items that hadn’t been given much thought. Others are souvenirs and keepsakes with significant meaning to their owners.
