Come up with a new name for the Redskins

[MTK]

Flush it all, name, song, etc. Get as far away as possible from any NA related themes.

That's why I'm thinking Redhawks because you can basically swipe that all out. With me not having any true ties to the DMV area, it really depends on how drastic they go with a re-brand... If they decide to clear all history of the Redskins and start over from scratch Idk if I'll be a fan still.. I'd just watch for the fun of it until I found a new team I like. Grew up in MS and FL before moving to Oklahoma so I could just root for the Saints or Bucs/ Miami I guess...
Have already had folks here say go with the Bills lol.

That would be the most Dan Snyderesque decision ever. It is funny when Irsay took the Colts from Baltimore the NFL gave them the history, SB everything, but the former players stayed in Baltimore are part of the community and part of the Ravens. The Ravens even recognize the former Baltimore Colts teams and have Colts players in the ring of honor. Bottom line that history belongs to the fans let's hope Snyder doesn't fuck that up.

I hear the get away from NA theme argument, but how is the song NA related if you remove "Redskins" ?

Just saying it doesn't fit without Redskins, why keep clinging to the past? Fresh start.

To me it depends on the new name.

"Hail to the Warriors/Fighters
Hail victory
Braves on the Warpath
Fight for ol'DC
Run or pass and score we want a lot more
Beat'em swamp'em touchdown let the points sore
Fight on fight on till you have won, sons of Washington"

Works perfectly fine IMO.

With Redtails it'd be different, but I'm not a fan of clinging on to the "Red" in the new name.

My fear with getting rid of everything is do you trust Dan and his team to come up with a new fight song that really rocks in a few weeks ? I don't.

They ain't gonna let Braves on the Warpath fly Frenchie. And do we really want a new fight song with a bunch of tweaks to satisfy the pc crowd, or do we just want a new song to go with our new identity?

Ok... maybe something gets lost in translation there because I really didn't think that would be perceived as a NA reference. A Warrior can be brave on the warpath without being a Native American, can't he ?

The thing is, I'm a fast learner and would happily learn a new fight song in a couple of hours... But I have no trust in Dan and his team to come up with a new fight song that rocks in a couple of weeks.
Because they haven't shown anything to earn that trust. And because the amount of work they'll have to do to rebrand everything on time for the start of the season is mind blowing.

I agree on your last point but apparently they've been working on this for a month already. Obviously they got some sort of indication ahead of time with everything going on since Floyd was murdered.
