I can't get excited about anything hog or pig related. Makes me want to eat bbq not watch football. And the pig jokes would be annoying as all hell.

A name I really like is the Raptors (the jet).

Washington Raptors

I know another pro team has the name but it's a completely different thing/reference.

Wouldn't even necessarily need a logo on the helmet, the helmet could be fashioned to look like a fighter pilot helmet.

[quote=skinsnut;1254203]I stand corrected.
The new name is the Washington Mooby's[/quote]

Terrible, who came up with that garbage?

Pretty cool name, wouldnt mind the dinosaur either, but I understand the jet/military thing.

The only way I can support Warriors is if they completely dump any reference to native americans and go full military, change colors to cammo or red and white (DC) and have a military honor section in the stadium and honor a vet every halftime. Have flyovers, bring in the marines marching band and go full on military. Discount tickets, the works. even host Army/navy game.

I definately dont want Redtails, we are just swinging from one ethnic group to another, eventually someone will find out the guy who named them was a pedifile or something.

Name it after one of the local tribes that Inhabited the region.

I found a decent site that still had decent redskins hats to choose from .Got one before they disappear

It's hard not to admire the Tuskegee Airmen and I like the notion of the name being a nod to them. A few years ago, I brought my son to a book fair where one of them was doing a signing. Meeting him was a great experience and I am glad my son was able to shake hands with a true hero.

But ... Red Tails just does not do it for me.

What if instead of honoring the Tuskegee Airmen the logo became a dominatrix with a paddle?

While there is some appeal in that, I am not sure I can stomach Gloria Steinem and Jane Fonda leading a new campaign against us. :D

(I'm aware it has less than 0% chance of happening, but since we're throwing ideas out there...)

Wouldn't it be fun to have a super-non-badass animal as a team name ?

Like if we were the [I]Washington Ferrets[/I] or Squirrels, every Sunday would be a win-win situation:

If we lose, at least you had fun yelling "Come on Ferrets! Let's goooo! Show a bit of pride and fight like a true ferret!" at your TV.
If we win, our opponents have to walk away and hear how they "got completely dominated by the Ferrets".

Rather just be the Wolves

Then the fans would be the Wolfpack
