That's why the team should move away from anything NA related. If they don't like Redskins, fine. But you don't get to pick the new name. Sorry.

Yeah and in a few years someone will have a problem with it.

I'm so done with this NA related stuff. We need to get out of that game completely.

On a personal aside I really enjoyed watching him stumble over what to call the Redskins. I believe he said I don't even know how to refer to them. Great radio there not even knowing how to refer to your subject.

Cyber squatting - I thought that wasnt allowed. I don’t know the legal definition though but it sounds like this is what he is doing. Perhaps that is why he doesn’t want any money for it?

He's trademark squatting. Cyber squatting is related to domain names which also gets you nowhere and is an act of bad faith unless you're going to actually be using it. So unless this guy is going to buy a NFL franchise he's not going to last long in court.

If memory serves he said as much this morning on the Junkies about having to have intent to use the trademark. He didn't sound interested in fighting any battles with the skins because he knows he wont win. I also think he mentioned he is a patent and trademark attorney.

Fair enough.
Still like something in this tone and these colors better than the previous ones.

I wonder if Dan and RR are even considering Redwolves? Apparently they already have the name picked out so hopefully they announce it soon

What gives me hope is that people close to them might not be so adamantly supporting the Redwolves name if it had no chance.
I also think if it was Warriors they could have announce it right away, couldn't they have ?

What do you think about this one:

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins

Didn't want to start a new thread, but something I read on another board. A general sports board. A poster thinks changing the name and logo is not enough. He actually says they need a complete re-brand (name, logo, colors, etc) AND they need to abandon the history and start as a new franchise (think Ravens when they moved to Baltimore, but left the Browns history behind). My thought was if they did that, it would alienate a LARGE chunk of the current fanbase. I think most, even if they do not want the name changed, can live with it. Especially if they keep the colors and other things like the wordmark font, the "R" and just lose the Native American imagery. BUT, if they started over as the Washginton Whatevers with a brand new color scheme and when you walked into the Stadium there would be no mention of the Redskins, nothing to honor the SB teams, the NFL Championship teams, no retired #'s/ring of honor, etc, then they would see a lot of fans jump ship as this was no longer the team they grew up with and loved.

So, wondering your thoughts. How do you think you would react if they made it seem like a new franchise and ditched everything including the history? What about if they kept the history but did a complete overhaul new colors, fonts, name, logo, everything, but you could still walk into Fed Ex and see a banner for SB XVII, XXII, and XXVI?

Well you know what that poster can do. Crazy world out there. In no way or shape or form do we erase the history..period.
