Hogwash Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Has anyone ever wondered why the Redskins don't have a mascot? Let's here your ideas for a character and name for a future Washington Redskins mascot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 the last thing we need is a mascot to draw more attention to the name. We have plenty of Unofficial ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogwash Posted January 20, 2004 Author Share Posted January 20, 2004 I was thinking something along the lines of a Boar or something But since you mentioned it, do you think that the ACLU or some other civil liberties group will ever pressure the orginization to change the name?

Hogwash Posted January 20, 2004 Author Share Posted January 20, 2004 The Hoggettes don't do much but sit in their seats... They're kinda like Birdman in Philly and the fireman guy at Jets' games... The Hoggettes are great but i'm talkin about a real mascot that the children can enjoy ya know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Dude, I hope you aren't asking for something so lame as this Jerrah Jones idea. Even the cow fans hate him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba9497 Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 The Hoggettes are great but i'm talkin about a real mascot that the children can enjoy ya know? That's a generalized commerical mascot (AKA Rowdy Cowboy) that 90% of the fans dislike. The Hogettes, Chief Zee, The Band are a "real" part of the Redskin tradition built over the years out of love. Some putz in a goofy costume is bush league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC4 Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 I say SCREW the ACLU and create: HACKIE the Tomahawk Chopping Redskin!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 The Hogettes are a team of family men from the National Capital Area who, since 1983, have donated thousands of hours helping raise millions of dollars for the care of sick children. http://www.hogettes.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiefhogskin48 Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 How 'bout "Scalper", the loveable Injun warrior. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Even Madder Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Scalper is a great idea! He can stand outside the stadium before games to entertain the children... and sell daddy two upper deck tickets for $200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WallyG3 Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 The Ravens have a band too. I do think we are the only team with a fight song though! The reason we don't have a mascot is: BECAUSE THEY ARE LAME AND GAY!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got the Hoggettes and Cheif Zee, and tens of thousands of other fans that luv the redskins. We got like a 100,000 season ticket waiting list, what do we need to get more pumped for football for? For the children?:laugh: This is football man, not sesame street. ---------------------------------------------- 0-16, 16-0, skins fan till i die!!!

Baculus Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 The Eagles have a fight song, but...well, it's lame. And it does not compare to the history of the Skins' fight song. And the Ravens do have a marching band, which I think was the original Colts (or Browns) marching band. One of the reasons why I have always loved the Skins is because of the college-like atmosphere with the band and fight song. It really is a reminder of the "old" RAH! days, and I think it's cool. But I am not crazy about the idea of the mascot. I always think, at least in the pros, they look rather silly. (Though few can beat the silliness of Stanford's tree mascot. :-P) The Dallas mascot is one of the sillier ones in pro-football. I think we have enough identifiable traditions of the team without a mascot. Anyways, folks would just point at a new mascot as being a Snyderism, and it would become an object of sneer. Plus, the PC, "Anti-Redskins" crowd would use it as another tool of derision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RYokum Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Personally, I think the way it's been for many years is just fine. My son, who's 10, goes w/me sometimes and doesn't give a hoot about seeing a mascot. Who cares about a mascot, I say stick w/tradition. Besides, I'm afraid that if we had a mascot, Snyder might charge another 1.00 per ticket to pay for it. I say spruce up the cheerleader's outfits first :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazooka Tooth Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Crazy Ray is the best. That guy has been around for so long. I have always considered him our mascot. Unofficial though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
