Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
Washington Hogs
It would be a nice tribute to Joe Bugel and throwback to the most successful years of the franchise. Marketability- Hogs are easy. We already have the Hogettes and other folks who dress up at games with pig noses. We can have pig races at tailgates. Adopt a hog mascot to run across the field for pregames. Hell bring a few more to the party and have a stampede. Food pork themes. Vegan pig. Cups/mugs that dual as pig noses when you raise your glasses. Stuffed animal pig toys. Oinking crowd noises. Hail to the Pigskins Hail Victory Hogs on the Warpath Fight for Ol' DC Why does this work well as a football mascot? Hogs are agressive animals. Smart too. Always getting dirty and throwing their weight around. A tough mascot to exemplify a tough football team. From a PR standpoint, the franchise could befriend PETA and throw money at animal welfare groups that focus on pig farms. Raise awareness about feral swine and invasive species.

The team would be served well, and Snyder, to turn the new name into an outreach opportunity. Of course, in D.C., if you choose the "wrong" charity (politically) you'll get crap from the same people that just canceled your name.
