Come up with a new name for the Redskins

Not seeing the logic.



Redskins had a faint- very, very faint- connection to their origins in Boston. The colors were influenced by those of Harvard and Boston College. The Indian moniker might have been a nod to the Boston Tea Party, but that is one of several stories and its unknowable.



So now historical connections are primary? So much so that we have to settle for a lame name like Commanders? When did this paradigm shift happen?



Not a lot of lakes or sheep in Los Angeles. Utah never was and never will be a Jazz mecca. No magical beings running around downtown DC.



We never needed a regional connection and don't need one now. Besides, how long before the same fuckwads start yammering about our militaristic name or that it is a connection to a guy who owned slaves?

This is almost exactly how I feel about Commanders/must have regional tie arguments. And the last line about Washington owning slaves is why I think an animal name is the best/safest route.

How about the Red Sluts? Sounds very similar to Redskins and we could do a half naked chick as the logo. Very appropro what with the sexual harassment at Red Sluts Park.

Makes you wonder why any of us continue to be fans …

It is still on the site. I imagine they didn't have any plans to release vids during the season, [although I expected one during the bye week] but once it is over they will put out one or two more leading up to the announcement.

I think it's just deduction from Jason Wright saying the name would be announced early 2022 and Ron saying "very shortly"
