Warriors seems to carry the same impression. It will be interesting to see what they come up with. I didn't love any names on the list.

Their is already a Warriors basketball team.

The last time this came up the Indian community was Meh on the issue. The cancel culture is a PITA .

My daughter used to live in DC and is definitely not a sports fan. She suggested a name on one of the DC facebook groups that was fairly well received. It even allows everyone to keep their "skins" gear - and it is available.

The Potato Skins

I don't think the Redskins name is part of the "cancel culture"

There MIGHT be something I care less about than this, but right now I can't think of what it might be.

right, but some of us have all this gear with the Redskins logo .... (admittedly mostly inherited from my parents )
Can I still wear it?
Will I be tarred and feathered?

After the changeover, I can just visualize the amount of formerly expensive licensed team ware that will go to charity stores.

Hold on to it for at least 10 years and then put it for sale on Ebay.

yes, ironic if it ends up in South America or overseas like the super bowl loser stuff

[GetawaysRus]

Damned if you do and damned if you don't.

My suspicion is that there will be controversy and criticism of a new name for the team.

There use to be a Miami Redskins and they changed their name to Red Hawks.

Maybe if Washington took skins off and just went as the Washington Red's no one would complain ? Or would that have a political connotation I wonder ?

[Passepartout]

Maybe they should be the Potomac Mud Daubers or something?

could be - there's the Toledo Mud Hens
Washington Warriors, Washington Renegades or Washington RedHawks

I keep seeing some version of this cartoon

 

[jont]

How about the Washington Swamp Rats?

 

[Luanne]

Somewhere I read the suggestions Code Talkers. I liked that one.

 

[cgeidl]

They could change to the Pigskins but this might get a police potest.

Jason Gay of The Wall Street Journal keeps pushing the “Washington Sadness Machine”

I think “Washington Sloths“ or “Washington Snails” would be appropriate since nothing seems to get done in DC.
