A name change would make more money because there would be a whole new set of merchandise to sell, and people would buy it.

And you would lose millions of dollars for existing merchandise already in stock.

Merchandise revenue would go up, but the amount lost would upset that revenue. Money would be lost from the millions of dollars of merchandise already in stock, it would be lost from the tons of logistical matters that would go through with a name change (business that have deals with the redskins would all need to be dealt with), all the redskins stores, the stadium, and anything else that says redskins would have to be changed. On top of all that the fan base would shrink. So many fans are looking for a reason to jump ship after over a decade of losing with not much hope for the immediate future, and this might be what cuts the ties for them.
