Apparently the problem had something to do with the typical vertical feathers cracking on the helmet logo when it was applied to the helmets. From what I read, it seems that the reason that the helmet logo returned to the typical vertical feathers the following year, is that the Redskins changed helmet logo vendors and was able to obtain more flexible vinyl logos.
The Washington Redskins logo has a picture of a face of a Native American Indian enclosed in a circle with feathers outside of the circle.The Washington Redskins Logo can be viewed at the links listed below.

The Washington Redskins logo, which features a profile of a Native American, was intended to symbolize the team's connection to Native American culture and heritage. However, it has been widely criticized for perpetuating stereotypes and being disrespectful to Indigenous peoples. The logo's depiction has sparked ongoing debates about cultural appropriation and the representation of Native Americans in sports. As a result, the team underwent a rebranding, changing its name to the Washington Commanders in 2022.
