Commanders honor Blackfeet Tribe & family of the late Walter "Blackie" Wetzel's chief design

In a private ceremony Sunday at Northwest Stadium, the Washington Commanders honored the late Walter "Blackie" Wetzel with a memorial.

Wetzel, who was a member of the Blackfeet tribe, designed the warrior logo for use for the Washington franchise in the early 1970s.

The memorial is open to the public inside Northwest Stadium. It's located on the 3rd floor, which is the Club level, between sections 306 and 307.
