Suggested Name Change for the Redskins

[berad]

Could they be the Washington Seminoles to try and keep the logo?

 

Unless they move to Florida, where the Seminoles were.

 

The closest big tribes to DC would be the Powatan and the Cono if I'm reading this map correctly

The state of Oklahoma was named by the Choctaw Indians - "Oklahoma" translates to "red man"

 

 

Do we now need to change that states name also?

[The Raven]

How about the Washington Filibusters? They'd shut every offense down. Nobody could pass on them.

Washington wankers It would work perfectly for the London move

[Ausman]

Washington Bankers

Keep the redskins name but change the mascot to a potato.....problem solved.

[PolishRifle]

How about..."the OTHER team, that plays in Maryland"? Would that fit on a helmet?

You sir, total genius!!!!

[Purple Punishment]

Not getting political, just a generalized statement, with all that is going wrong in our world today it's hard to imagine how "those guys" have the time to worry about something so novel as a team name. There's still an airplane missing out there.....or is there?

What plane? Me don't see no planes? What's the scrap price alone on that much aluminum ! : )

I am a fan of the potato idea lol

 

Also I could see them use a pig for the mascot although I don't know. Maybe make it a boar or something

[pmr468]

The Washington Bullets!

[H8R]

Washington War Mongers?

[rmw10]

Or just change the logo to a Redskin potato.

Baltimore Sun headline "Ravens mash Redskins 34-3".

[AsianRice]

That would solve the political issues....

[Nightman]

Washington Generals just like the team that always gets beaten by the Harlem Globetrotters.

 

Or the Washington Federals, one of the worst teams in pro football history.

[Ausman]

 

 

Or the Washington Federals

 

Genious! You know what I think we have a winner guys! Federals resembles the Nation's Capital. We have Nationals, and Capitals so why not Federals? That name is very creative.

[Ausman]

Okay final vote for best new name voted by the Ravens fans: I picked a winner from what you guys said compared it to my best name so take a final vote:

 

1). Federals

 

Or

 

2). Natives

[Nightman]

The Washington Federals were the worst team in the USFL, in 1984 they were sold to a Miami businessman who was going to move them there, but the proposed move to the fall voided that and were sold to Orlando businessman Donald Dizney, rechristened the Orlando Renegades which was just the same team in different jerseys.

Here is a game between Chicago and Washington who wears the white and green:
