section122 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 DC Redskins has a nice name. Changes out the offensive and leaves the history! On a more serious note if they are worried about the history they could go back to their original name of the Washington Braves. From the wiki: RedskinsReport.com revealed on July 4, 2020 that if there were a renaming, team owner Dan Snyder would still prefer to use a Native American name and keep the current Redskins emblem and uniform color. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky Landing Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 If Snyder were smart (questionable), he would sit down with the National Congress of American Indians, and discus different name, and logo proposals. He's been clutching onto this brand for so long, and the brand value is crumbling in his hands, and has been for quite some time. If he does this right, he could have an opportunity to increase his team's brand significantly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Striking some type of allegiance with the Native Americans indigenous to the area all around DC would be a great idea, especially if both parties figure out a way to profit off of new gambling revenue streams created by the partnership. They have a great opportunity to turn lemons into lemonade and come out looking good, if they do this right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 San Antonio Spurs. Just get rid of the whole history. https://www.voanews.com/usa/race-america/washington-redskins-remove-racist-founder-team-material Quote The NFL’s Washington Redskins team is making a clean break with its past and is removing the name of founder George Preston Marshall from all official team material, as well as pulling his name from the stadium’s Ring of Fame. Marshall was an avowed segregationist and the last NFL owner to allow Black players on the team. He did so in 1962 only after President John Kennedy’s administration threatened to evict the team from playing in the stadium, which was built on federal property.

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. Yup. Hogs. With all the pork in Washington it’s the perfect name. Plus the historical OL thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super patriotic in a completely non-partisan way. I’d say that they should just buy the rights and use it except for their commitment to their current color scheme. It only works with red, white and blue. So I’m back to Hogs (or Razorbacks). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to type this out the other day, but thought the mods might not like it. Anyway, GG, that was funny. Like another poster mentioned, I honestly don’t care about the DC team, other than some of these posts were really funny. I also agree, everyone is just going to keep wearing their current jerseys, and shirts. It won’t change and there is nothing anyone can do about that. Even if they agreed to do a free swap for new shirts, they still will wear their old ones. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Is the name “reds” offensive? I always thought, they could just change it to the Washington reds and it would at least sound like it always did. Kind of like the devil rays, going to the rays. Nobody is asking Cincinnati to change their name now right? So maybe the Washington Reds...would be ok? Sometimes its hard to know what is and isn’t offensive in this landscape.

T master Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Just leave the Signage and everything the same and change from Redskins to the Warriors ! My first thought was to just change it to cover the area they represent & call them the Washington Dipshits but that wouldn't go over very good because then the politicians would stand around with that DUH look on their faces like they didn't understand so that's why i went with Warriors . That would promote the American Indians in a positive way . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Day 10 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Kind of going through this with the Cleveland Indians as my team (I have been resigned to a change for a few years now)... Its a balance of traditional and good. As long as they dont fall into the 2 pitfalls of terrible names and a pet peeve of mine when it comes to this. Dont name it one of those 'trying too hard' 2-word nicknames that scream 00's minor league baseball. They are hollow, without tradition, and usually change when they move or need to sell more merch or grab a headline. "Rumble Ponies" "Iron Pigs" "Rail Riders" "Muckdogs" "Rock Cats" "Fisher Cats", etc... Also, dont name it like it was a MLS or Indoor Lacrosse team. Usually trying to be wise, not ending the name in an "S" and usually some sort of word for swift movement or something. "Rush", "Surge", "Wild", "Wave", etc...
