Washington DC Needs a New Football Nickname: Help Them Out

Temp Title Washington Football Team

Post your ideas for a new nickname for the NFL team in Metro DC.  

 

Can be funny or serious.

 

Can be based on their color scheme, geographic location, whatever.

Porkers?  For all the pork-barrelling that goes on in DC?

Also pays tribute to the Hawgs offensive line.

 

Hogs actually wouldn't be bad for a DC-based team and does have the added benefit of tributing that line.

 

Could bring back the Senators name.  They folded long before the modern era.

The Washington “American Rugby Squad” or ARS...

Red Tails. Tuskegee Air Men in WWII. Someone might have thought of this first, but it makes sense.

 

But they kind of located no where near Tuskegee.  Are they relocating?

Not all team mascots are related to their city.

 

At any rate though, based on their statements to this point it sounds like they're trying to thread the needle between honoring both Native Americans and the military with their new name, so the already trademarked Washington Warriors seems like the best bet so far.

Hogs is the perfect name.  

 

Obviously because of the famous O-line, but it's also a nice spin on the Beatles' (Harrison) "Piggies," which describes Washington, D.C., to a T.
