LetThePointsSoar Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Warriors. Buy the dang trademark back - appease both sides of the ones that want the Redskins name removed, while acknowledging the fact that a sizeable portion of the fanbase are Native Americans and don't completely turn on them. Do a revised version of the spear logo, and move forward and past these conversations once and for all. 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites

spjunkies Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 (edited) I'm leaning strong towards Mammoths, make the fur Burgundy with gold tusks. Of course you need to make it look pissed off and intimidating. Edited July 4, 2020 by spjunkies 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Dissident2 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 (edited) I could get behind the following as long as the colors remain the same and the Native American imagery remains: 1. Warriors 2. Red Wolves. As the wolf is often a spiritual figure in NA lore, this could still fit. Also, there is an obscure Marvel hero named "Red Wolf" who's a Native American hero. How's this for a logo, lol: And ... just look at that color scheme: Anything related to "monuments" or politics can pound sand, as can anything with no attachment to NA culture.

Anything with a "ths" at the end is just too hard to say properly. People will just end up saying "Mammuss." 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Riggo#44 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 I really dislike Warriors, but not near as much as Monuments or Generals. Awful. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Andre The Giant Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 My concern with this plan is that the name / logo could potentially remain a problem. As a fan, my most important outcome of this process is that the issue be put to bed for now and into the foreseeable future. It’s hung over this franchise as bad karma for far too long. Don’t get me wrong, I hope they make a great choice. But to have to revisit this issue again at any point would be really disappointing. 8 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Forehead Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 I'm still beating the drum for tie-ins to that gang movie, cinematic brilliance, so I think we need to buy this logo off of whoever owns the movie rights. https://www.ebay.com/i/392255570223?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&itemid=392255570223&targetid=915852593453&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9008138&poi=&campaignid=9343999104&mkgroupid=96003384673&rlsatarget=pla-915852593453&abcId=1139336&merchantid=6296724&gclid=EAIaIQobChMImKzbseqz6gIVC5SzCh3xRgjSEAQYAiABEgJGmvD_BwE 1 Link to post Share on other sites

The Blackhawks have a very similar logo and they're always an afterthought if mentioned at all during these conversations. If we lose the name we should be in good shape. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

alwaysaskin Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 I would like to see something like the Washington Ironsides (tribute to the USS Constitution) if we go that route. I think it will probably end up being the Red Hawks though Link to post Share on other sites

If we lose the name we should be in good shape. A heard a guy on the news talking about how groups of people shouldn’t be sports mascots. Honestly, I agree. Once teams like the Redskins and Indians are addressed, protestors will move on to teams like the Blackhawks (IMO). When you have a chance for a restart, the key is not to be in the same position again. Keeping the logo increases the risk. I love the logo too. But I would move on. There’s lots of other choices.

khaozerker Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Have local native americans come up with a name, and if they all decide to rename the team to the Redskins, then we go with that. Or change the logo to a potato. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

ConnSKINS26 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 I would just be surprised if after all this time Snyder is finally cornered and then...picks a name that is only an incremental improvement and keeps the issue over our heads. Can't help but feel that Warriors and Redhawks or any NA-adjacent name will do that. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
