Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

Well Cowboys has to be offensive...so, the Houston team becomes the Oilers and the Texans name goes back to Dallas.


Texans is offensive to these people too, though. How are we supposed to fix all of this? :D

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

By not being overly a drama queen

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

best to stay away from being named after any minorities. Better off going with something generic. If not Redwolves then Warriors.....

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

[quote=JackLord;1254919]I agree too.

Back in the 90s, when the NFL began doing the Throwback weekends and the like, the Skins wore some uniforms with the old color variation and no helmet logo. Looked like USC, but they were really sweet. I would suggest that for the season unless Dan wants one more season as (nominally) the Redskins.[/quote]

Very possible that we see this for a year...

Washington Spies.... stealth uniforms ..

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

Kinda what I thought the uniforms should be this year. But I really like the red stripe added for the "redtails"

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

I love that uniform concept...but I think the red tail should be on the back of the helmet.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

Starting to lean Washington FC.

Skins shouldn’t rush this...go with FC and really do some work on the name and future logo

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

No no no!

I hate the soccer team names.

Washington FC.

Real Washington.

Singular names like D.C. United and Harrisburg Heat.



"Club" sounds like an intramural team to me too.

I heard this on the radio, so i cant take credit.

Announce that this year is the last year they will go by the Redskins. They will officially retire the name after 2020 to allow them time to finalize the legal side of a new name.

Skins gear would fly off the shelf, DS makes some money, fans get one final farewell year, time to do everything thats needed and you avoid what we have now ... a confusing situation of a team with no name.

This assumes Fed Ex and company would accept but worded and presented the right way ... I think they could have been sold on the idea.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

I'd love one more year...but I don't think the mob would allow it. :(


I bet for the first time since probably 2012, FedEx would sell out with Redskins fans at home games too.

I think that would be a fair compromise since putting together a rebranding takes years not weeks.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

Washington is hiring former Panthers’ director of college scouting Eric Stokes as Director of Pro Scouting, per sources.

So former Panthers’ HC Ron Rivera now has another familiar face joining him in Washington.

Yeah, wether you like the name or not, a poll without Redwolves as an option is an absolute joke.
[URL="https://twitter.com/NBCSWashington/status/1283129391824936962"]This one from NBSWashington[/URL] has the Redwolves over 70%.

Washington Dark Clouds would be an apt name for us, because that's what follows us around.

Yeah. This is weak. Every thread does not have to devolve into something about Trump. I am a Democrat, and i can tell you that i do not believe Donald J. Trump is the singular cause for everything that is wrong in the world. So many people want to believe that, not me. Government was F'd up long before Trump, and it will be long after he is gone. it's the way it is.
