Come up with a new name for the Redskins

I often feel the same way. I don't know if I will jump ship. I watched the Skins in 5 Super Bowls. In between all of them there were tons of memories and images.

It's hard to transfer that to another team. It's also hard to accept this change. It's almost as if we are out of football.

I get it, but we're not out of football. Whatever new name our team has, it represents DC, and that won't change.

Winning on Sundays will go a long way to helping this fanbase heal too. Nationals seemed like a dumb name too, until they started winning.

Just reading up on the red wolf (https://defenders.org/wildlife/red-wolf), it would be cool if the team threw some money towards conservation efforts if we do take on the name.

Team merch could be absolute fire too

I hope they go this route, I'll stick around if so lol

Man I'll admit the minute I pictured myself howling in front of my TV at 4 o'clock in the morning I was on board...

And good for you if you can do it. I just can't go there and never will.

The reason I mentioned-Federals as a new name is because D.C.is the seat of the federal government or-Diplomats again Washington is about-diplomacy,all this crap about-wolves? when was the last time a wolf was seen in D.C.? hell just call em the -Werewolves,heck if you want an animal that's native to the city why not the Washington Rats..there're everywhere!!

And good for you if you can do it. I just can't go there and never will.

I wouldn't if I thought there was any chance we could keep the name, or keep a NA related name and have it work out.

But I don't think there is anymore. And I'm not gonna quit football. Nor am I gonna root for another team. So I might as well get on board with what I feel is more exciting.

But I completely understand where you are. I had similar thoughts a couple of days ago.
I just need a kick of excitement to get out of this feeling that it will never be the same...

They are amazing animals. They have a few at the Francis Marion National Forest in captivity they used to breed and release in Alligator River Area. My wife took some great photos of them that I need to see if I can find.

Hate to ask, but does the fight song become "Howl like the Redwolves"?

all this crap about-wolves? when was the last time a wolf was seen in D.C.?

Well if you want to get picky, there is no such animal as a Seahawk.

And I'm curious if the name William is exclusive enough to Buffalo?

How native are Bengal Tigers to Cincinnati?

And good for you if you can do it. I just can't go there and never will.

I’ll always refer to them as the Redskins or Skins. Don’t care what they go with.
