Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins

Well just in case I snatched up a couple of new potential Red Wolves related domain names.

I like that idea

A Redskins fan should know FSU uses our spear.

How do yout know Dan wasn't prepared for this day? Maybe the quick turnaround is because he had a plan to execute ? He's been fighting this battle for decades and had to realize eventually he might lose it.

It ain't April Fools Day. He hasn't been fighting anything he has been denying a problem even existed. This is the same guy who was shocked that Giants and Eagles fans took over Fed Ex Field in 2018 and couldn't understand why fans were not coming to games. The same guy that abandoned the warriors trademark this year. I find it highly doubtful he was prepared.

Seems like the connected opinion is on Redwolves

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins

So what are the chances that Snyder comes out with a new nickname that hasn't been mentioned at all? Any chance of that...or have all the options been leaked out to gauge how everyone reacts to them? The Vegas odds don't even include RedWolves

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins

I don’t think there will be any new name announcement for a long long time ... maybe next season .. the team may just drop redskins and go play if there is a season .. at this point Dan will somehow mess this up

I saw that list and to be honest i had actually never even heard some of those names that were mentioned...

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins

Warriors is close to the chief, the Indian. It's close to the imagine of Redskin
You just have to keep that intact. Redwolf to me is an absolute joke. We would basically have the feel of an expansion team IMO. That brand of the Indian has to be important to Dan.

He said he tweeted that just to make people laugh.

I agree with 69, we need to keep some kind of history in tact because if you start all the way over, you really risk losing fans , myself included. Do we really want to be an expansion team?

Agreed.

The whole (fake) argument is that "Redskins" is a racist slur and needs to be changed.

We're doing that.

The same habitually-offended protesters aren't out picketing other teams with Native-American identities as vigorously. We should be able to keep the theme while satisfying the "woke mob".

The Braves, Indians, Blackhawks, NBA Warriors, FSU Seminoles, Utah Utes and countless others are not being financially-blackmailed into changing like Dan Snyder has been. The Cleveland Indians are choosing on their own to explore a name change because they don't want this mess coming to their door next, but they're not being forced...yet.

I'd be happy if we returned to the original name of Braves as well. Heck, do that with the 1932 throwbacks with leather helmets full time. It would look great!

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins

I don't understand how the history won't be intact no matter what you call the team. Nobody is erasing the Super Bowls or records. It's all there. This franchise has changed names before and the history of the Braves and Boston Redskins is still all there and will continue to be tied to whatever they call it next.

To us on here yes but will the media (ESPN, NFLN) etc still say the "Redskins won 3 SBs" Or will they try and forget that past all together?
