Secondly,hasn't NIKE voided there contract by refusing to list/stock/name Redskins merchandise? It should be. I suppose they expect to cash in on the new merchandise sales, I would tell them to go *$%$ them selves and sign a deal with UnderArmor or Addidas.

I expect and uptick in current merchandise sales, get it while you can

Nike is such a standup company, they have ethic minorities making their shoes while imprison in concentration camps.

All these woke idiots saying change the name while they support slave labor buying their kids Nike shoes.

Nike is the biggest hypocritical piece of shit company in the world.

I mean this sincerely; Go Fuck Yourselves ASSHOLES!!

Haven't bought anything Nike in 10 years probably, and never will again. This was already in effect before this product pull.

Going online now and buying a couple more Redskins shirts. Want to have some historical reserves.

I'm on the Red Tails bandwagon. Hopefully having a coach from a military family will influence this choice.

What are some choices for new names?

I see RedTails in this thread. That sounds ok.

I've heard Warriors on NFL channel on Sirius/XM. I don't know.

Have there been others?

Gotta keep the color scheme. Hopefully the NFL and Dan are smart enough to leave that alone.

The only thing I can think of is silly, but PigSkins comes to mind. We already have fans wearing pig snouts. And have the Hogs. A Pigskin is a football. Can you keep the fight song with this? HTTP?? The internet already has this abbreviation, doesn't it? Ugh .... I don't know.

It's obvious though that this will probably be the last season for HTTR and all things associated with it.


This reminds me of when Ole Miss was changing their mascot in 2010 from Colonel Reb, to a black bear. But there was a student group trying hard to get the school to adopt Admiral Ackbar from Star Wars as their mascot. Famously, he said "It's a trap!!!" in one of the movies in that trilogy (Return of the Jedi?). https://collider.com/espn-star-wars-...kbar-ole-miss/

Anyway ... there's a chance to have the fans lead this name change. Why not someone from this board?

The Hogs!!

[sdskinsfan2001]

I don't want to be named something another pro team already uses. We have the coolest name and logo in sports. To go from that to some retread name would be really shitty.

[SFREDSKIN]

I like “The Nation” if we are forced to change. The Nation vs The Cowboys and we stomp their ass!! The Nation includes all Native American tribes in the US.

[coggs]

I also heard they have been told they could not use the RFK site for a stadium if they do not change the name. Are they looking to move out of FedEx?

Send the suggestion to DS. Send the suggestion to Skins reporters. Stake a claim!!

I'll support you getting royalties if it comes to it!

[Chico23231]

The Hogs or the Skins

Folks we need to admit, this isn’t about offending Indians...it’s about offending white progressive people who find it their job to tell others you should be offended. Let’s start being 100% about this for once.

For once I agree with you, but even if only 10-20% of Native Americans are offended, they still exist. Don't act like every Native American is cool with it even if the majority are.

The reality though is this discussion is happening because $620 billion worth of corporate money told 3 major Redskins sponsors to do something about it. If they walk, everyone else won't be far behind. And Dan can't have his new stadium in DC if the name isn't changed. I got $20 that says the name gets changed and DC probably gives the RFK land to the Redskins at a deep discount or for free in exchange for less tax dollars going to the stadium.
