If the name must change, I would prefer that our traditions be preserved by simply referring to the team by our colors: The Washington Burgundy and Gold.

Sorry if i came across as a prick, but this headline grabbing stuff is absurd. We are all entitled, everybody knows that.

The name isn't changing anytime soon. Move along, nothing to see here.

Pretty much what we suspected. The reason very few Eagles spoke up and told the truth was because they were afraid that Kelly would want them axed next. So it's understandable that only a few, and mostly the more popular players, spoke up publicly. Locker room cancer? Nice try, Chip "A**hat" Kelly.

I agree Chico - they should spend zero time on nonsense, too many "real" issues already that need attention.
Edit: and apparently not enough time to deal with the real issues or there wouldnt be so many. So again - one second spent even pondering an NFL teams name is too much time.

I really don't think it's that big a deal. They deal with hundreds of issues, big and small, all the time. This is like that dumb argument every time an athlete tweets something, or goes to a movie, or whatever. "Hey, why aren't you lifting weights?? Studying your playbook?!!"

Nothing against dealing with small issues, just stupid ones. An athlete can do whatever he wants on his own time, and if a congressman wants to voice his opinion on the Redskins name on his own time than have at it. I just cannot fathom them discussing such a trivial thing on the job with all the crap going on in the world. Whatevs though.

Definitely agree. Just vote these idiots out of office so we can get some, hopefully, sane congressmen/women in to do a better job on real issues.

I said this awhile back when the name change issue was a hot button topic. If the name changes, which I hope it doesn't, make it the Washington Pigskins. Very similar to Redskins, has a football meaning, and hopefully will only piss off the American Pig Farmers Union which doesn't have as big a lobbying presence in Congress.

I just think it would be a big FU to everyone if the team doesn't have a name. Without a new team name, every fan and the public would continue to call the team Redskins, yet officially the team would not have a name so the media can refer to the team as Washington (which many already do).

Because many people find the team name offensive, The Washington Redskins have changed it. From now on, the team will be simply known as The Redskins.

I always liked the Washington White Tips. (the shark)
Have a moderately looking aggressive shark logo on the helmet.
Change the colors to red white and blue. (we are the nations capitol after all)
Blue shark, white tips on the fins, red mouth.....
Have fins run down the piping on the pants like the Seahawks.

at least we are not the new orleans pelicans .. man that is a bad name and i never saw one pelican when i was down there. chickens running through the city, flying cockroaches the size of beer cans? yes ... pelicans? .. no.

Washington FC is pretty damn intriguing. Since I don't think they can get away with changing the name but keeping the logo, I think you could make a picture of George Washington that looks pretty similar the current logo. Plus, like Ruhskins said, everyone is just going to refer to the team as the Redskins for quite some time no matter what the official name is.
