Paintrain's all encompassing 'discuss all things offseason' thread (Version 2.0)

I think if Snyder is going to be forced to rename the team, they should just remove the name Redskins and have no team name. The media can call the team Washington and I'm sure the fans and much of the public will still call it the Redskins. If they can keep the logo, they should, if not keep the "R" with the feather as the logo.

Best name-change idea I've heard. It'd be quite hard for me to ever call the Redskins by a different name; and if the name does change, I'll likely continue to call the team the Redskins. Dropping the nickname completely is a great solution.

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.

Honestly I was thinking about this earlier today as during my afternoon coffee break I like to search Google News for Redskins stories on my phone, which of course was FILLED with freaking stories about the 50 senators wanting the name change (way to focus on net neutrality guys), and then it hit me.

Snyder actually might be the type of guy to take PETA's suggestion and change the teams mascot to a potato just to spite everyone. I hope it doesn't come to that as it would make great cannon fodder for fans of our rival teams.

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).

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.
