What should be the new name for the Washington Redskins?
 
Let's brainstorm new names for Washington.

Snyder has caved to the pressure and will announce a new team name this afternoon:

The D.C. Redskins

Kodos 06-18-2014 12:19 PM

Progress!

D.C. Gridlock

molson 06-18-2014 12:22 PM

The Washington Drunken Tomahawk-Chuckers

Galaxy 06-18-2014 12:35 PM

Senators?

New logo can be a picture of a big fat white guy in a suit carrying a pair of briefcases with money coming out.

CraigSca 06-18-2014 12:35 PM

Washington Indians - apparently that's ok, and you can keep the logo!

I'm guessing, after the appeal process runs its course, he'll try the "Washington Skins." Idea being that we really need to decide if any team logo or mark that in any way references Native Americans is offensive. And we'll just have to leave PETA out of this discussion.

The Jackal 06-18-2014 12:39 PM

I'm a Skins fan .. I'd be fine with the Hogs.

I just renamed them the Warriors in one of my FOF dynasties in the 202s due to political pressure.

Think this is ultimately what will happen.

Coffee Warlord 06-18-2014 01:00 PM

Nope. Washington Sentinels. Movie studio should hopefully still have the prop uniforms, and they can bring Keanu in to back up RG3.

Critch 06-18-2014 01:01 PM

There was some mention of Washington Bravehearts being trademarked.

I'm going to start being offended by my ancestry being turned into a football team logo now so I can be ahead of the game.

I didn't see that movie but Sentinels actually does sound pretty cool.

This one looks like a win-win:


Honolulu_Blue 06-18-2014 01:16 PM

Keep the name, change the logo to a potato.

Done and done.

Pyser 06-18-2014 01:19 PM

it should be a very easy change. not only in name, but they have 2 alternate old logos that are AWESOME (the r with the tail, and the arrow with the tail).

britrock88 06-18-2014 01:22 PM

The answer is not in changing the name, but the logo...

good call, sir

SFL Cat 06-18-2014 01:53 PM

If I were Snyder, I'd drop Washington from my name too and call my team the Maryland Don't Tread on Me's.....

sabotai 06-18-2014 01:54 PM

I like the name Washington Redneck Sister-Fuckers.

Has a nice ring to it.

korme 06-18-2014 01:54 PM

Washington Robskins


Kodos 06-18-2014 02:09 PM

Washington Pigskins

SFL Cat 06-18-2014 02:27 PM

Hell, if I were Snyder and didn't own the stadium in Landover, I'd probably look into relocating the team to L.A.

flere-imsaho 06-18-2014 03:02 PM

It's going to be something stupid like the "Washington Power".

I don't often agree with SFL Cat, but when I do....

I've thrown that one around as well. PETA might have a conniption.

stevew 06-18-2014 03:26 PM

Obviously you should combine a name that combines the respect of the forefathers of this great nation while still paying tribute to the current redskins nickname.

tarcone 06-18-2014 03:49 PM

Washington Redcoats? Wait, wrong side. Washington Sunburntskins? Washington Ferocious Native Americans?

OldGiants 06-18-2014 04:01 PM

I've been calling them the Foreskins for years. No need to change that.

Washington Generals

Blackadar 06-18-2014 07:49 PM

It's not like Washington teams haven't changed their names before as the times changed (remember the Bullets?). So presenting your...Washington Squaws!

But seriously, I'd go with the Washington Redtails. The Tuskegee Airmen connotation makes it easily adoptable and the logo possibilities are pretty neat.
