Come up with a new name for the Redskins

They ain't gonna let Braves on the Warpath fly Frenchie. And do we really want a new fight song with a bunch of tweaks to satisfy the pc crowd, or do we just want a new song to go with our new identity?

Identify “they”....you taking about the team/org?

Ok... maybe something gets lost in translation there because I really didn't think that would be perceived as a NA reference. A Warrior can be brave on the warpath without being a Native American, can't he ?

The thing is, I'm a fast learner and would happily learn a new fight song in a couple of hours... But I have no trust in Dan and his team to come up with a new fight song that rocks in a couple of weeks.
Because they haven't shown anything to earn that trust. And because the amount of work they'll have to do to rebrand everything on time for the start of the season is mind blowing.

I agree on your last point but apparently they've been working on this for a month already. Obviously they got some sort of indication ahead of time with everything going on since Floyd was murdered.

I like you top 3 picks but I have mine in a different order. - I think as much as I hate this that besides the name change there will need to be a logo change. I don't like the Red Tails though because it could bring up more protests. Saw that logo you were talking about and I'm not a fan of it but maybe because I just don't want a name change....- just my opinion

I think most of us don't want a name change. Might be a good time to drop Washington as well depending on where we are playing....

1. Braves because that is what their original nick name was and it is a general term Change logo to Spear Can keep uniform the it is now or go to Home - burgundy jersey and gold pants Away - Burgundy pants and white jerseys, or you could go with gold pants

2. Warriors - because it is a general term Change logo to Spear Can keep uniform the it is now or go to Home - burgundy jersey and gold pants Away - Burgundy pants and white jerseys, or you could go with gold pants

3. Mohawks - would have to talk to tribe chief and get their blessing. Set up a fund for them and give them royalties - Change logo logo to Spear. Can keep uniform the it is now or go to Home - burgundy jersey and gold pants Away - Burgundy pants and white jerseys, or you could go with gold pants. I don't see this happening because down the road there could be more protests.

4. Redhawks - Change logo to R. Can keep uniform the it is now or go to Home - burgundy jersey and gold pants Away - Burgundy pants and white jerseys, or you could go with gold pants

If we go in an entirely different direction then I think I like Renegades for a nick name. Uniform could change but could also keep it the way it is now.


Hey VT, great picks and I had not thought of "Mohawks". I like it but I know the protesters won't.

If we did Mohawks, I think the 60s feather helmet would be perfect since it's positioned like a mohawk hair style. :laughing-

Just do it on a modern metallic helmet, maybe swap the red for gold, it would look great.

After the name changes, “they” can’t say shit. Fans can sing any song they want, wear redskins, say redskins, fly the redskins banners high in the air, etc.

Once the name changes...it’s over for the protesters. Not fans...Redskins will always be apart fandom for the organization. They can cry all they want

Washington Sea-men

Could you imagine? If you are sick of "Foreskins" jokes, get ready...

Personally, I'll always call them the Redskins and sing HTTR. I have a feeling you'll hear fans spontaneously singing it after TDs for years, in their own form of protest mixed with nostalgia.

My son said yesterday he'll never stop wearing his Redskins gear.



Heck, I still call the basketball team the Bullets because Wizards is such a stupid name, perhaps the worst team name in all of pro sports.

As we all should. If you have a problem with it, you should have left a long time ago.
