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?

“Redskins” regardless of the rebrand will be a part of the team now and in the future. Song...cloths and term Redskins isn’t going away. Once the org changes, that’s it. If you want to continue to cry and complain after that...then you should leave as a fan, that’s a you problem.

I'll always wear my skins gear , I don't care what anyone thinks. The Redskins were my first love when it came to sports and I've stuck with them for almost 30 years now.

I say we change the name to Warriors, and replace the fight song with a karate montage every time we score a td.

OPINION? Here are a few names I haven't heard before. (im sure I may be duplicating!)
None have to do with race at all, and all are US/DC or military honoring.
What do you think of these names?
Revolution
Liberty
Freedom
Justice (also in DC motto)
Constitution
Independence
Icons (like monuments on helmet)
Honor
Courage
Glory (like US flag)
Defense
Federals
Founders
Commanders
Troops
Veterans
Soldiers
Heros

Washington Troops?

Might as well call them Washington Humans

Washington Courage?

How about Washington Strength? Washington Honor?

No disrespect to you but literally all of these names sound weak AF.

Revolution is the only name I like from that list ^

I would not mind that name actually.

There's an independent league baseball team in PA named Revolution that we root for.

So wed have two teams we like with the same name.
