Snyder already owns trademarks on Warriors I believe. Just in case.

We're not the Giants...I'd like to think we're more creative than that.

Give it up already. The team is named after an American Indian that was the coach of the team. Isn't there a limit to how many times you can take someone to court? I can't see the supreme court accepting this case either way.

If not, Snyder already has Washington Warrior merchandise ready to go.

I have always felt they should feel honored.

HAHA good point..Maybe they should sue us depending on how we do this year, if we win 8 or less games then sue us, if we win 9 or more then don't sue us cause we're making American Indians popular haha

Maybe our new logo will be the Washington Redskin Potatoes?

Could we be the Washington Mashers, with the Redskin Potato as the logo?

I doubt it since I dont know of any Irish people protesting the name and logo.

I have no idea what the Skins new name & logo could be but I am willing to bet they have something in the files that would be ready to go.

The team is not named after an American Indian coach of the team. In fact Charlie Casserly was just on WP Live on CSN saying the organization never really knew where the name came from.

Some Indian was at one of the first games against the Cowboys and as we kicked their a$$ he yeld out go Redskins and it caught on and before you knew it everyone was saying Hail to the Reskins. The rest is history.

Maybe we could take a page out of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and be the Washington Skins of Red of Virginia of Maryland

Where do people come up with this stuff. Hail to the Redskins was written by GP Marshall's wife as a fight song because GP Marshall wanted Onward Christian Soldiers as the Skins fight song.
