HAIL TO THE FANS!

From the days of Slingin' Sammy Baugh through the Joe Gibbs era, Redskins fans have always been the most loyal and dedicated in all of sports. It takes teamwork to win a championship and Redskins fans are truly the twelfth man on the field. Upon returning to coach the Redskins in January 2004, Gibbs said it best: "The first part of this teamwork is already in place-that's the fans. I've always appreciated the history and the fans who love the team. The way they care about you is what drives you."

"Hail to the Redskins" made its debut on Aug. 17, 1938 as the official fight song of the Washington Redskins. The song was written by renowned band leader Barnee Breeskin and the lyrics were penned by Hollywood movie star Corinne Griffith, the wife of team founder and owner George Preston Marshall.
