It's hard not to admire the Tuskegee Airmen and I like the notion of the name being a nod to them. A few years ago, I brought my son to a book fair where one of them was doing a signing. Meeting him was a great experience and I am glad my son was able to shake hands with a true hero.
But ... Red Tails just does not do it for me.

What if instead of honoring the Tuskegee Airmen the logo became a dominatrix with a paddle?

While there is some appeal in that, I am not sure I can stomach Gloria Steinem and Jane Fonda leading a new campaign against us. :D

(I'm aware it has less than 0% chance of happening, but since we're throwing ideas out there...)
Wouldn't it be fun to have a super-non-badass animal as a team name ?
Like if we were the Washington Ferrets or Squirrels, every Sunday would be a win-win situation:
If we lose, at least you had fun yelling "Come on Ferrets! Let's goooo! Show a bit of pride and fight like a true ferret!" at your TV.
If we win, our opponents have to walk away and hear how they "got completely dominated by the Ferrets".

Rather just be the Wolves
Then the fans would be the Wolfpack

I can't get excited about anything hog or pig related. Makes me want to eat bbq not watch football. And the pig jokes would be annoying as all hell.
Totally agree.
