wrilbo67 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 WTOP: Darrell Green: Washington’s name change ‘is the right decision’ https://wtop.com/washington-redskins/2020/07/darrell-green-washingtons-name-change-is-the-right-decision/ "As for Washington’s new name, Green favors Red Tails, which was a nickname given to the Tuskegee Airmen, the first Black aviators in the U.S. Army Air Corps. “This would be a way to celebrate these guys,” said Green. “These guys were under great duress in the air battling. And guess what? When they landed and came home, they were under great duress at home. They could find no peace.”" That said, someone already pointed out the the DMV BLM chapter is not supportive of that name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSSkinz Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Am I the only one who thinks this is the best R logo so far, if we go Redwolves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Maybe that’s why all of the minority partners wanted out. Maybe they know Snyder’s about to get me-too’ed by the Wapo and he’s about to take the heat for all the sexual improprieties of the people around him. Just maybe.

I think the lesson to be learned from all of this (one of them, at least) is to not make sports mascots out of people. Even if it's meant as a tribute. I know someone's gonna say WELL WHAT ABOUT THE FIGHTING IRISH?!!??, please, just stop. In regards to the Red Tails and BLM...Red Tails doesn't really make sense if you want to tie it into DC. And I am wondering if DMV BLM would object if it was a team not owned by Dan Snyder and not changing from a name that's already been perceived by many as racist.

It looks like a Redskins logo to me. Why bother even changthe name if we are just going to changing every other aspect of the team to look as close to Redskins as we can? (Or essentially not change anything) I mean, just do this. Keep the logo of the Indian. Change the name to Warriors. That’s about as much effort as most of these concepts are.

Well, the fuss has been about using Native American imagery and a name that people see as a racial slur. The letter R isn't Native American imagery. Burgundy and gold isn't Native American imagery. I don't think we need to overhaul the entire thing, just get rid of the parts that people are upset with. I don't see the harm here. Keeping the logo of the Indian would be using Native American imagery. Tying in the name Warriors would probably paint Native Americans in a light that would lead people to believe that all Native Americans did was fight. Again, the lesson being don't use people as sports mascots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bentskin Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 My vote is for Warriors and go 60's throwback style, what was old is new again. Thicken the shaft and update to be a spartan spear not an arrow. Although I dont know how one could argue that Native Americans have sole ownership over the use of an arrow. But I digress. But I can get behind Redwolves and this helmet idea (just have a wolf inside, NOT the NA with a wolf head), disregard the jersey, not a fan. Maybe position the wolf howling at the moon so his tail hangs down emulating the feather? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma There Goes That Man Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 I love how someone actually thought it was a good idea to have our new mascot appear in the logo killed, skinned, and having it's dead carcass being worn around on a head like a trophy. The logo doesn't have to be fierce but it shouldn't be that embarrassing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to spotlight our history of racist (as some say) imagery and team name? Anything they do, using burgundy and gold is going to look to me like a ****ization.
