And if the Sun comes up tomorrow, let it be. I like the Washington Devils. Our mascot could have horns and wear a suit and tie like a politician.

Feels great to finally be free of that. Exactly, it will be nice to focus on football, I’m amazed at all the “die hards” on Twitter and Facebook saying they won’t be fans anymore, if they had been Fed Ex might have been full Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaz13 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 They need to have a name that connects them with their history. I can’t imagine using some animal name and changing the color scheme. It would be a totally different team. They have to stay burgundy and gold and keep the fight song altering the lyrics to fit the new name. I just can’t see Dan Snyder completely abandoning everything from their history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original Wizards color scheme was just atrocious imo. It was a great name. It had a historic connection to Baltimore and Pollin changed the name to a dorky joke on a lark. But at this point, we're stuck with it. Pollin felt so strongly about the change to Wizards that changing it back to the Bullets would be pissing on his grave. He was a good man and doesn't deserve that. The Wizards are a pretty good example of why the Redskins shouldn't change their name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the problem is that anything Native American themed is not going to be received well. I can get behind: - The Washington Burgundy and Gold - The Washington Burgundies (“The Burgs“ as a nickname has an endearing ring to it) - The Washington Hogs (as long as the logo is done right) - A player or coach that has a double meaning like The Washington Monks (after Art Monk) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistertim Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 How about we name the team after something that any decent American knows and loves, no matter what their ethnicity? That's right. The Washington Tater Tots. Or maybe we can just go the super expository route and change to The Washington Run Run Pass Punts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that same vein, how about we remove our logo from the helmet, delay finding a real name, and just call ourselves The Washington Losers until we win a Super Bowl. Then name the team. I feel like that would provide some motivation for this organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case just keep colours and feathers. To me after the name does are the most icon pieces. I would hate a complete redesign. Then you just throw away history. Get a uniform like Falcons should finish it off... The classic R in the circle with feathers already does the job right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conn Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 I truly haven't seen one name I'd really want yet (or that I don't think would present problems of its own)...so I hope Snyder, Rivera, and the people they employ for this are more creative than the entirety of the internet so far.
