Rodney Johnson of Chesapeake, Va., stands with his truck outside FedEx Field in Landover, Md., Monday, July 13, 2020. The Washington NFL franchise announced Monday that it will drop the "Redskins" name and Indian head logo immediately, bowing to decades of criticism that they are offensive to Native Americans.
That means football team owner Daniel Snyder will likely have to pay off someone to get the name he wants, said “Anything with any historic significance that’s negative they should just stay away from,” Watkins said. Key to branding is being clear, concise, compelling and consistent, Davis said. And do it in only one or two words.“It’s the only equal opportunity hated city,” Davis said. “Both sides hate it.”Normally Watkins loves using humorous names, reeling off her favorites: the yogurt chain Spoon Me, Denver’s Church of Cupcakes, San Francisco’s TMI Colonics. But for sports teams, she said it’s not right, especially for a team that has upset people in the past with their name: “They need to be serious.
All I think about is ' The Washington Redskins ' . It's such a iconic name. Do we really need to change it to 'Spears'.
Not many cities have initials built into their names. Take advantage of that and make it a cool double use call out... The Washington Damned Champions or the Washington DC's for short. Your mascot is a generic built athlete vaguely Olympic champion look with olive wreath
Well... The Orange Skins and the mascot can be an overweight pile of...
Football is dead
Washington red tape.
Washington Parasites would work Washington Amoebas. Because they don’t have a backbone either
Washington Mediocrity. Their best always seems to be try to get to 8-8
I think they should keep Redskins...
Or just change the team to the Redskins and change the logo to a Redskins potatoes
The Dogs
The Washington Greeds has a certain ring to it! Or maybe the Lobbyists!
The Washington Offended.
Warriors. Snap it up before it's gone!
No matter what name someone comes up with. Someone else will have something against it. It is just a name. No one thinks about savage Indians. They think football team. People are making something bigger than it is.
How about covid donnys.
sure... pile it on. makes fans of a team feel bad.
Just Wash.

DC DEMOCRATS .... with they’re new slogan We suck too
How about the 'Oakland Redskins' or the 'St Louis Redskins?' I'm sure they would like to have a team back. Screw DC!
Rednecks...
I like the Capital Snails. Fits both the team’s & governments approach to change.
Hmm. How about War Hawks?
The Washington Generals
Let's call it Washington Trumpets! Surely a musical instrument can't offend anyone and then before the game there will be a band composed solely by trumpeters... We've got Utah Jazz and St Louis Blues as precedents. its Musical!...... oh wait...
Shit for Brains
The Washington Turtle Doves will work out fine.
The Donothings

I vote for white_thin_skins
Washington honky lips
for many decades, the name REDSKINS has no problem to most. they even won 3 NFL champs. why now, I wonder? anyway, hope they can play well on seasons to come with their new name or what so ever it will be.
Whatever. Just get rid of that shit.
Gridlock is fitting
Washington Swamp Monsters would enable them to have mascot resembling that movie’s Swamp Thing. Just think of the garb and fan souvenirs possibilities. Kaching!
corrupters
The Tomahawks?
Do Nothings?
Washington Cutthroats
The cowards
Delete history like it never existed. Makes sense. Does anyone have a book burning guy? Asking for a friend.

Red tape?
Red Tape
the new name for the washington redskins will probably be/. called the washington senators in honor of all the new democratic senators taking office in our usa senate IN 2020/.hmmmm interesting.,THINK?/.
Change a couple of letters and your mascot and you're good to go. This even opens up some interesting sponsorship opportunities.
Wasn't it a Native American that named the team in the first place?

Just because a native American helped create the nickname doesn't make it right. Just as a vet telling Kap kneeling during the anthem is ok isn't right. To argue otherwise speaks of just how deep we will dig to find a justification for our actions.
Hmm...that logo looks like the one on Hatuey Beer.Hatuey was a Cuban Taíno tribesman who told the monk trying 2 convert him that he refused 2 go 2 heaven if there were Spaniards he got a beer named after him.That’s worse!

Avoid anything that has any reference to, or could be confused with any race of people, or controversial animal; so, how about the Washington Gravel.
Washington Warriors Washington Warriors Washington Warriors Washington Warriors Washington Warriors Washington Warriors!!!
I approve of a name change. If a name makes some of our people feel less belonging then make a change. But I’ve known Native Americans who have been huge Redskins fans because of the name. But aiming to please everyone the best we can I do believe is noble.
This is a freaking no brained Washington Hogs
Americans
The foreskins
it does NOT 'need' a new name

The Onion announced they were changing their name from the Washington Redskins to the DC Redskins.

the washington warmongers, it’s a bipartisan name.

Washington Social Justice Warriors fits like a glove
Washington Forked Tongues
Washington Pigskins
keep it simple: they'll want to keep the name beginning with 'R' (HTTR) and they'll keep the colors the same. Probably something that keeps the feather… Redhawks, blah blah... you get the idea.
Washington Merchants
Washington Traitortots
Washington Generals ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I propose the Washington Dust Bunnies and their mascot a a giant pink feather duster.
If they want to appease all the racists who are crying about it, they can call it the Washington White Snowflakes.
Washington Pigskins This way, fans can still use ‘skins when referring to the team and reference to the Hogs/Hoggettes is still relevant
Corruption
The Washington Rednecks and the New Coors Light Stadium.
Thieves
They can call themselves the 'Liberty Bells'.
Go-Gos
Warshington tittiesweaters!!!!
'Red Tails' is the best option of the bunch. It would be an easy transition. Instead of 'Hail to the Redskins' it's 'Hail to the Red Tails'.

Washington Waterloo
Following the evolution of our five-cent piece it should be the Washington Jeffersons.
How about The Washington Foreskins, Boycott Continues.
salamanders cause a group is called a Congress. Or Baboons cause a group is called a troop

Names are racist, they shouldn’t even have one or a logo
What’s your new name for the Washington football team? I’ll go first: Washington Swamp Lizards
Redwolves 🐺♥️🏈🇺🇸
Redtails
Swamp Rats would do.
Whatever name they chose won't help, because the BLM cult has decided Washington himself is offensive now.

The Washington Gridlockers.
How about The Washington Donkeys?
