So for quite a while it was just the Redskins south of the Mason-Dixon line.

Interesting side note, the original lyrics to "Hail to the Redskins" included the line "Fight for Old Dixie" instead of "Fight for Old D.C." (along with some other ... um ... variations). Maybe others remember that, though it was before my time.

Onward Christian Soldiers was proposed as the original fight song for the Skins. Luckily that didnt happen.
