[quote=REDSKINS4ever;924636]That's just one Native American. Ask a group from the Sioux nation, Cheerokee nation, Apache nation, or/and Choctaw nation if the Redskin name is offensive and most of them will say that it is.[/quote]

Actually polls cited in this article say the opposite:

And it is spelled "Cherokee."

That article points a divide between the Native American activists and the regular population. I think the answer isn't as clear cut.

when did they adopt the current one? i was looking at some marino pics and forgot that they have tweaked it since those days.

Redskins4ever made a sweeping claim about the "regular population" and the numbers in that article reference that population:

Indeed, a recent SI poll suggests that although Native American activists are virtually united in opposition to the use of Indian nicknames and mascots, the Native American population sees the issue far differently. Asked if high school and college teams should stop using Indian nicknames, 81% of Native American respondents said no. As for pro sports, 83% of Native American respondents said teams should not stop using Indian nicknames, mascots, characters and symbols. Opinion is far more divided on reservations, yet a majority (67%) there said the usage by pro teams should not cease, while 32% said it should.

[quote=Mattyk;920349]I liked the all white look, it was certainly much better than the all burgundy. I'm a fan of bringing it back.

It is interesting because flywire is for weight, durability, etc but it isn't like they wear the same jersey every game.. makes me think you could get a better grip if you got your hand inside the jersey... but doesn't happen much in the front... must be for fit

[quote=SBXVII;922374]Not to be hatefull but it looks like crap. IF, and I say IF for whatever reason the team had to change their name (which I hope never happens) I'd prefer they simply pick something DC or capitalistic related and change their colors to Red, White, and Blue. The Redskins are the only team not using some form of those colors. Professional team that is. Well and DC United I guess. But soccor is not my cup of tea and don't care what color they use.[/quote]

Leonsis doesn't own the skins.. love the red white and blue but no

Let us avoid the what if and work on protecting the brand

Just like you plan to protect your kids vs developing a plan if they get kidnapped

Probably going to be a bad move.

Just like you plan to protect your kids vs developing a plan if they get kidnapped[/quote]what about when the caps shared the wizards color scheme. can you imagine the redskins in that crap. during that time i feared that if the redskins were forced to change their name, they would have matched the caps and the wizards.
