If our logo is offensive then the Blackhawks has to go too. This is all so damn ridiculous.

They have not said anything about a re-brand so I find that very interesting

They say the Logo is also offensive.

When I hear that, I point out that the current logo was designed by a Native American at the behest of Native Americans. George Allen thought it a great idea.

That is one of the things that has bothered me about this from the start. People have had to fabricate reasons why it is offensive.

Washington Redhawks also has no native connection, you can say the feathers on the R are from a Hawk. Other than that, they would have to wipe out the whole scheme in place and come up with something new ASAP...

Probably too late right now for a full logo/uniform change for this season. Probably will have to go with a modified design for this year and next year unveil a new look. I like the idea of keeping the burgundy and gold, but all new logos.

The Braves aren't saying anything right now either, but it won't be long before the attention turns their way.

I've seen some Warriors logo's out there with the W but they were garbage. One looked like the U of W on the helmet , that's just plain to me

Warriors is so blah and generic to me. I say let's go with something that has a little more originality.

I think if they go with it, it's just a cop out to change the name asap and run with it.. I would get new gear of course but I agree I'd like something nobody else has.

Another way to look at it that sucks is , what if we have a shitty season? The newly named Washington franchise starts its new beginning with a 4-12 record... Not the fresh start we would hope for

Look,first of all,I love the team as much as anyone,but let's get away from anything Native -American as far as a new name goes-now as far as names go should be something that identifies with the city-Monuments-Federals[yes I know about the old USFL team]but that was a whole different time and league-Express-Archives...well just some ideas,I''ll be following this as I'm sure everyone else will...I just hope they don't name em anything stupid sounding.
