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...

Nextmanup Posted July 6, 2020 Author Share Posted July 6, 2020 I don't like this logo with the cartoonish depiction of the P-51. Needs to be cooler than this. I much prefer this logo, but this can be improved on too. The only downside of the Red Tails concept is that it kind of throws away their heritage/history and starts over in a new direction. Maybe that would be part of the idea. Something that maintains the Native American reference but turns it into more of a respectful tribute would maintain more historical franchise continuity.

Dwayne Haskins said that And even though it's totally positive, in a time in this country were everything racial is debated , it realistically is probably best to have a name with no racial component What about the Asian units that served in world war II or native Americans , why don't they get a name? Everything could be such a slippery slope in 2020, it's best to just not touch it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
