Name change

I would still route for the team, and mainly just chalk it up to another reason why I hate danny snyder (even if it wasn’t his fault). But my relationship to the team would change. Maybe I would like them more. Probably I would like them less. It would no longer be the same team. This would be a major change. Maybe for the better. Probably for the worse. There would undoubtedly be some disconnect, for me at least.

The team name is pretty important, it's a big part of the entire package of a team.

The name, colors, uniforms, those are the only things that really stay the same. Players and coaches come and go, and even ownership to a lesser degree.

So if you're a fan of the team, aren't you also a fan of the name to a certain degree?

It was changed when they were still in Boston and started playing at Fenway. Marshall like the connection between the Red Sox and the Redskins.

Also, I'm almost positive the Senators were originally called the Nationals.

thats pretty cool I didnt know that, i guess i kinda see where he was going with it.

I dont want the name changed but in time who knows what will happen. Im guessin 10 years before they changed "old glory" to "old DC", people thought it was just PC crap and it would never be changed either.

There will always been plenty of guns & god capitalist pigs to counteract the bleeding heart liberal treehuggers


Sorry if you read my previous comment Matty, I misread what you wrote. Please accept my apology. If you didn't read it, good.

On the subject, I'd be fine with a change only if it were changed slightly to the 'Skins. Everyone would still know what it means, but it would be a good gesture and a compromise that probably should be done.

Well the song mutilation was cheaper. A franchise-wide rebranding will cost millions, perhaps over a billion...and for what valid reason? None.

The pittance they'd spend in new signage (marketing is always changing so I dont see that as an increased cost) would be more than offset with the sales of new hats, shirts, mugs, etc.

As a historical note, even when Washington's baseball team was called the Senators their officical name was Nationals and had been since the 1860s. Charley Brotman took to calling them the Senators because he couldnt come up with a good logo for Nationals and then everyone started calling them the Senators. Nationals wasnt some name they pulled out of thin air.

Oh awesome man, thanks.

Keep the right-wing extremism to yourself.

No. Then they win.

Nor will we remain the Redskins with potatoes replacing the Indian. It HAS been suggested.

Touchdown Los Angeles Warriors!!!

Blah...doesnt have the same ring to it.
Lets stick to Redskins.

There is a LOT more to rebranding than signs. Snyder would have to renovate all of the team facilities, the stadium, new licenses would need to be obtained, web domains, uniforms and a lot of things we won't even think of.
