It does not feel, sound, or certainly LOOK like the team I grew up loving and rooting for...it feels like an expansion team like others have suggested. If they can't be called the Redskins any more, then I at least want them to LOOK like they used to look at least...so it still feels like MY team.

Whether you like it or not, if (and hopefully when) the team becomes successful, the name is likely going to stay and it is going to become associated with the current ownership group. IMO it already is associated with the current group, outside of the DC area.
I guess the silver lining for the name hating crowd is that if the team is terrible in the next couple of seasons, they'll get the name change they've been clamoring for.
