Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
I'd bet on Warriors as the name that is chosen but I like the name Heroes. I hope the team keeps the current colors so I can still call them the Burgundy and Gold.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
I thought calling anyone a hero was off limits after 911

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
Get rid of Red in the name, just sounds forced.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
Worked for Miami University and St Johns University.
The only thing that has kept me engaged during L'Regime Snyder has been the history and traditions. We can keep those. But if we switch to something radically different, those go out the window and there is little incentive to stick around. Of course, that is just me. Obviously other opinions are equally as valid.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
I tend to agree. That's another reason I think Redtails and Redhawks gained so much steam...some people want to hold onto the "Red". I'd prefer to keep the color scheme but go with Warriors or Braves.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
Matty, you remember me!
![]() Enjoy the break from me? Just very busy, I've come on to lurk a few times but not as active in posting obviously. I've still been cleaning up in the Warpath fantasy league though. Took my son to his first Skins game last year against the Lions...great first game for him to see. Excited for this year's team...a lot to be excited about as a Washington ___(fiill-in-the-blank)___ fan!

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
I find it hilarious Nike is taking a stand on ethical grounds, but using cheap labor doesn't violate their moral code.
Even if the name is something dumb and generic like Warriors, I'm still gonna be rooting for this squad. I just don't think Snyder and whoever is helping him is creative enough to come up with a name that will not only wipe the slate clean, but also be good enough to make us forget about Redskins. Redskins (love it or hate it) was a unique moniker that stood out in the sports world. Look at recent history, Vegas Golden Knights? Oklahoma City Thunder? Winnipeg Jets? Houston Texans? New team names have been weak AF for a while now. We're probably gonna end up with some generic simpleton name designed to be as minimal thought-provoking as possible.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
As someone who is vehemently anti-widget I'm gonna start the picket line if this passes.
