It's going to be Warriors folks, Dan had that name in mind 10 years ago from what JP Finlay was saying.

Yeah but how much did he believe he would be at this point? I don’t think he has too much time, money, or thought invested in that name. Not that I am totally discounting it. I actually think it will be Warriors or Red Tails, but I think DS can go in a lot of directions just as easily as he can go Warriors.

With the limited time he has, It's gotta be Warriors IMO. I'm fine with the "red" options too but I Just don't know if they can come up with logo's and jerseys that quick

I would prefer DS doesn’t rush this and get it right. If he is not sold on a name just drop it for the year, Washington FC, and properly vet a name.

Come up with a new name for the Redskins

I love it!! I flew the A-10 WARTHOG for 17 years. The really cool thing is that the 104 Fighter Squadron, Md ANG is at Glen Martin Field, Maryland. They’ve done flyovers for the team. It a great military connection as the unit has deployed for combat tours 4-7 months at least six times and maybe more.

Go with a plane that been there over 5 wars starting with Desert Storm (1991). Picking a plane gets us out of political decisions with NA and just honors a plane that is there for our soldiers and Marines. This is real picture of my last flight. Right after this I got out and was hosed down with a fire hose, which is the tradition for your FINI FLIGHT (actual name of it). Almost every current or recent WARTHOG pilot has flown at least some combat missions saving our Soldiers and Marines. And they’re still doing it!!

I also like the REDTAIL - it was in WWII, a storied fighter unit the flew the P-40, P-47 and finally the P-51 MUSTANG. A great tale that helped propel our nation even after the war.

Personally I think that Snyder will choose
WARRIOR. He owns the name, it can be construed as a support the military and it’s pretty generic.

Im cool with Warriors. My wife teaches at a school and the name is the Washington Street Warriors. Their logo is the same as the Skins guy. She is not a big football fan, but pumped about them adopting her school’s nickname. Might buy me some extra football time on Sundays lol

Is that even possible? Think about the rebranding it would take ? If his minority owners have a problem with it would they or whomever buys in expect the name Redskins to be completely removed from everywhere? In other words it might be too heavy a cost to rebrand twice. I dont see an interim team name as a feasible solution.

It's going to be Warriors. Just makes too much sense.

Like others have said: Keep any NA imagery, and Leftist pressure/protests will continue.

And it is Leftist. Conservatives aren't against the name.

Anybody wanting to change the name: So when should this website be renamed or shut down?

At this point, sure change the name. So I can honestly say the Redskins died and feel better rooting for the Chiefs. Not because of their name, but Patrick Mahomes. When they have to change their name, we'll see.

Why would this site shut down? If it's Warriors then Warpath is still perfectly relevant. A simple update of the site banner which we do almost every year anyway is all that would be needed. Not that hard.

MTK, I wish the best for you. Rooting for the Washington Whatevers.

The other thread you started, "Skins getting heat again over name issue", you link Mike Florio saying this: [URL="https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/06/02/washington-franchise-should-change-its-name-now/"]washington franchise should change its name now[/URL]

Here's a Mike Florio article yesterday. [URL="https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/07/07/native-american-groups-ask-nfl-to-stop-using-all-names-images-and-logos/"]native american groups ask nfl to stop using all names images and logos[/URL]

Florio and the other woke ppl are wrong, about the name redskins, about most things. But that's the trend. There isn't any good principle behind it, but if one really thinks the team name is racist, so's this site. Hope you guys stick it out.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 
Huge difference between Redskins and Warriors or Warpath. This site will be fine but I appreciate the concern.

[quote=punch it in;1254239]Hell yeah. I can hear the howling now.[/quote]

Agreed. Also, I imagine a howling sound while it's 3rd and long while we are on defense would be so obnoxious from opposing team and fans. Every 1st down there is a snarling wolf growl.

I'm favoring redwolves or wolves now. You could trot out some bad ass game of thrones type wolves as your logo / mascot.

Fanbase can be wolfpack with both wolves and redwolves IMO.

Yeah the wolf on the picture on the sleeve is not good. Red wolves are actually a type of wolf btw so it isn’t like we are trying to hold onto the red part. Love the snarl on first down.
