The Edmonton Canadian Football League (CFL) team will no longer be called the Eskimos. 

In a statement on Tuesday (July 21), the organization said the team will be known as the Edmonton Football Team or EE Football Team until a new name is finalized. 

The organization will be looking for input from fans on a new name and wants to keep the green and gold colours and the EE logo intact.  

For years, the team has been under pressure to change their name which has been called racist and derogatory toward the Inuit community.
