Any equivalent names would refer to skin color and race, such as Whiteskins, Blackskins, Brownskins, or Yellowskins. Who doesn't know that race is a hot button in our society? So I think it would be better for a business like the Washington Redskins to try to avoid contoversial societal issues altogether.
The bottom line for me is that it would not bother me if Dan Snyder were to change the team name.

If it were bad for business the Redskins would have changed it in a heartbeat.
