Remove the feather from the spear helmet and call them the Lancers.

I think if the pants were the same color as the helmet it would be a lot better. That's a lot of gold.

We should take down ALL historical statues and replace them with unicorn, ice cream cone, and tooth fairy statues.

We can all never have our feelings hurt again and live in fantasy land.

We definitely need to change our team name. I'm thinking Washington Willows is nice and peaceful. Plop a tree on that helmet and call it a uniform.

I never really understood the idea of honoring racist generals who were on the wrong side of history. It's like the ultimate participation trophy.

Agree. Plus they were traitors. Makes no sense to honor traitors.

And proud to be core racists. A fact particularly apparent to the majority of NFL players. Can’t think of anything more objectionable than a statue to a traitor and racist. Wiping out these statues is more than a century overdue.

Re: Skins getting heat again over name issue

At that time in history all of America was racist. The only way you could tell one racist general from another was by the color of his uniform coat.

The thought of making war on their families, friends and neighbors was morally repugnant for many career soldiers from southern states.

Just as the Civil War had to happen then, the monuments to Confederate generals must now be removed. Time and tide make it so.

Well a lot were to honor the fallen dead of the rebel army, the generals who lead them...other times it was too intimidated black Americans. Were some generals racists? Absolutely, many were across the country...it was different time, different norms and thankfully we moved past that...I think most should come down or be moved to a museum.

Here in Richmond they will be coming down which a lot of people are in favor of which hopefully will bring people together.

The team will change the name, it's only a matter of time. Dan will get pressured into it. Honestly go with Warriors, HTTW and can still do braves on the warpath.

This is bad too, if the team changes the colors and name completely, I'm out as a fan

I really like the vintage design although I'm not fan of the gold jersey, it's a little bit too much for me. I love the faux leather helmet and 1970-71 helmet, I think both would go well with the jerseys above.

Will you go to a different team with a name that isn't Redskins and colors that aren't Burgundy & Gold or just quit the NFL all together?
