Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins

"Redtails" to me is ripe for mockery.

I can hear an opponent fan now: "your team's gonna have a red tail when we're done with them ... har, har."

Plus, the actual origin of the term is so obscure it will be lost on most everyone.

If it HAS to be done, let it be the Warriors -- it's the closest possible term that will still represent what this team once was. Redhawks would be my second choice. If there can still be some way to pay tribute to native Americans, that's what I'd like. Even if the prevailing opinion seems to prefer that we erase their entire existence.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins

After reading the WaPo article I think we can only go with the team name PREDATORS.

I gotta say, I like the look on this. Or they could swap it out with a mean looking wolf. But the colors look good to me. And the stripes on the sleeve with the 3 stars is a neat idea to rep DC.

Welcome back Beem. Glad to see you here again. Crazy how we went from "NEVER" to "we are retiring the name" lol.

Ya'll really gonna tell me this doesn't look dope? We keep the colors and we honor badasses who fought for the nation (while still being subject to hate and segregation at home).
Lol that as racist as it gets by the definition of the people who changed Redskins. Not mention glorifying the nation that killed all the indians lol.

Red tails is a gay name

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins

I read in an article last night that there's a good chance we'll know this week.

https://redskinswire.usatoday.com/20...ton-team-name/

It's vague speculation but positive at least...

"We haven’t heard any updates on the name change in the past few days, for good reason, but don’t be surprised if some news comes out this week about the process going forward. Not only do fans want to hear of a new name, but the team needs to act as fast as possible if they are going to implement the name and mascot in the 2020 season."
