Will the Redskins ever get new uniforms?

Native American were interviewed and only 5% of native americans had a problem with the name. Besides, the team was named the Redskins to honor their former coach when they were in Boston.

No change is coming and the only people that have a problem with the name is the liberal media.

Never heard the fave coach story so do tell. Here's the version I know: When George Preston Marshall bought the Boston Braves back in the 30s, he had to move across town and wanted to keep with the Native American theme. He changed Boston Braves to Boston Redskins which eventually moved to DC.

Just a small correction for ya, George Preston Marshall bought the Boston Braves in 1932, a year later playing in Fenway Park, Marshall renamed them the Redskins and hired an Indian coach named Lone Star Dietz. The team was not profitable and actually was doing well going to the NFL Championship in 1936, losing to Greenbay. They were fewer than 14,000 people in each of their 7 home games playing in Boston. Marshall moved them to D.C. in 1937 brought in rookie Sammy Baugh, and the rest is history.

I wish I could be as sure as you seem to be. I would not like to see the name or uniforms changed but sometimes strange or unpopular circumstances occur. It does appear that Dan Snyder has tried to be prepared in the event that he is forced to make those changes.

Have you seen Summo's tattoo? I'm sure he's in the same boat at you about the helmet and logo.

i haven't seen his tattoo. all i have is the helmet with logo. but i've been a "redskin" fan since i was a child back in the late 70's and early 80's. and when i'm in my 50's i still want to be a "redskin" fan. there is just to much pride in the burgandy and gold to change it...
