As far as your question about relation to the city well What does Titan have to do with Tennessee. Or Ravens and Baltimore. Was there a tribe of Giants that lived in Manhattan? Did Raiders run rampant in Oakland? Tons of examples in all sports. I personally don’t care if the name is tied to the city, and it opens up the options.

The notion that Redskins was a derogatory term is still false in my opinion. Yes, some found it "offensive" or "racist". However, it's tough to find something that doesn't offend someone these days. When there are Native American High Schools with the Redskins mascot, that's enough for me.
Sadly, it'll never come back, I know. But it was never derogatory.
Anyway, Raise Hail I guess...
