Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
I don't think the feathers will work. William & Mary (The Tribe) had two feathers for a logo and that had to change. Any Native American imagery is a non-starter.

We are jettisoning 75 years of history to appease the hysterical mobs. Might they let us keep a few feathers? |

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
Agree Irish. I am not even sure why we need to continue with a Native American branding

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
Not a surprise based on what we have heard and knowing how Dan wants to keep the NA imagery. Matty suggested Revolution. I liked that fitting for a Nation's capital based on citizen dissent.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
Why keep honoring a group that doesn't want to be honored? Just get out of this NA business entirely.

Revolution is a good name but the New England's MLS team already took that name. If they could steal a team name I'd love to see them called the "Go-Go" after DC's music but there already a basketball team in DC called the Go-Go. |

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
I just want us to stay far away from anything regarding politics and REALLY far from anything regarding race/skin color. Wouldn't it be a little disingenuous to suddenly change to something because you got pressure to? Would hate to "back into" doing something respectable. If you're going to do it, do it because you want to, not because you were pressured to.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
Something else to consider since the nickname is being changed...could Snyder use this to get a new stadium venue. If Virginia wanted the team, deal could be made to change the name to the Virginia _________ if they outbid DC. Since ALL of this is just about money anyway, I'd drag this out if I were Snyder to get the best deal...especially with the minority owners also possibly wanting out, he may try to do anything to save his stake in the ownership.
