Come up with a new name for the Redskins

I don't want us to use another name of a major sports team, ala Warriors. But I don't think you can worry about if some random B-league team or minor league team or semi-pro team uses the name of has used the name previously. There are thousands of these teams, you would never be able to use any name then.

Fair point.
I wasn't talking in terms of legal issues, I think those are manageable (and one of the reasons they're taking so much time).
But it terms of image, I don't know how great it looks to pick a name from a random B league that went bankrupt in a couple of months. To that, you could say it wouldn't mean anything 50 years from now, but I still think they don't want be laughed at in 2022.

They were barely around for a hot minute, I would doubt that most fans would even know they had a team there.

Oh you can trust the internet to 'member ^^
Not saying it's a massive no go. But I bet it's something they considered.

Probably, but it's nothing major. Red wolves would have much bigger hurdles to jump.

I certainly didn't remember them.
