Maybe they are gonna go with Comanches. They wouldn’t even have to change the first three letters , lol, and Comanches were the toughest mother fuckers in the land. Even Apaches were afraid of them.
Comanche's would be nice but one issue is the traditional logo was a member of the Blackfeet tribe.

just do Washington football team, Washington FC, Washington football and use it all interchangeably. W helmets look pretty good, so keep those, rest of it looks too college and should go (including the black)... if you want to stick feathers or whatever on merch, go for it (it's all a quiet protest, and I'm for it).

One of the complaints about the perjorative name "Redskins" was that the name was remindful of the portrayal of Native Americans as warlike savages. So that's a no-go.
Also, what do the Commanches have to do with the D.C. area? Aren't they a western tribe? There was a tribe called the Nacotchtank that had a settlement on the east bank of the Anacostia River at the time D.C. became the nation's capital but that name doesn't sound very elegant to my ears.

I like the W helmets in the burgundy color. The W is nice. We should keep that. The feathers as a quiet protest is about as subtle as an eviction notice.

That the front office and ownership didn't immediately go into over the top PC damage limitation mode is also quite refreshing. "It is not official merchandise" is all they said.

The team website heading changed to "RAISE HAIL" last week too which already had people talking about why the subtle reminders of the past name?!
I like the new hash tag raise hail, it works. Why the subtle reminders? Why not?
They don't need to pretend like the old name never existed. They should embrace what they can to bridge the gap to Commanders.
