LOOK: Commanders selling mugs with Washington state outline

The Washington Commanders kicked off their 90th season Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars from FedEx Field. It was also Washington’s debut as the “Commanders” after spending the past two seasons as the “Football Team.”

It’s a big day for the franchise and for the merchandise trailers.

Courtesy of Pete Hailey of NBC Sports Washington, check out this unique mug that was being sold ahead of Sunday’s game. It is a team mug with the outline of Washington state — not Washington, D.C.

Hailey later noted the mugs were being sold outside of the stadium.

It didn’t take long for the team to catch on; Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post pointed out that the mugs are no longer available.

Did the team pull them? Or did they sell out? I am only half kidding here, as multiple fans from the state of Washington responded to Hailey’s original tweet wanting one of these mugs.

What began as a mistake could become a cool idea. The Commanders should just make an outline of every state with their logo and sell them.
