After the 80's and early 90's I despise the 49ers more than the Cowboys.

Yeah but im from NJ - i never lived in Maryland so im already breaking "the rules". Also I was probably 6 or so when I became a Skins fan - by the time I was about 12 and understood the game they were winning superbowls so it was a while before they were browns - like. Lol. All of my teams are based off of childhood choices - i like the uniforms? I Like the nick name? Thought a certain player was like a superhero - - Riggo. I dont root for a certain city? I wouldnt want the Skins to move to LA because they are the "Washington" Redskins - but that is out of tradition not a love for the area or anything.
Edit: i often wonder if this team was moved and another team sprung up in Washington what I would do. There could be a situation like Cleveland/Baltimore - team literally becomes a different one with different name - than the Browns come back? or St Louis Cardinals moving to a different city as the same team?
I think if the Skins pulled a Browns - I would root for the "new skins" but if they just switched cities i would follow them. Id stick with the uniform.
