Hapless Bills Fan Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Porkers? For all the pork-barrelling that goes on in DC? Also pays tribute to the Hawgs offensive line. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

There's the "Redtailed Hawk" tie in for a mascot, and fits with the other "Birds" in the NFL (Eagles, Falcons, Ravens, Seasnakes). Would work for me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Gugny Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
