Why not something involving the DC Comic series? DC is rubbish compared to Marvel and anime anyway, but something like that would be cool.

I like it as well, but when I said so on Facebook, it sure brought out some responses I didn't expect. Scary that I may have to unfriend some folks for suggesting I like the idea.

Interesting, I was wondering what do they do with all the images, like giant photos and name that is on or around the stadium. Can they just cover that with giant tarps or what how does it work?

Is there any rule they HAVE to have a mascot? I mean, they can change the name to the Washington DC Football Club. Keep the colors. Make a stylized DC as their logo. Put numbers on the helmets like Alabama.

Why not?

That'd be better than Rowdy by a mile.

Well, I learned something. I think its more a regional term. I spent much of my youth in Mexico and don't recall hearing it much there. It is used a lot in Texas. I don't think it's intended as a slur, unless they throw a Pinche in front of it! Lol
. What about Bolio? Any clue where that was came from?

never heard that ranching, but try the site i linked.

The Native American logo, not at all, but the arrow head logo yea. But a lot of Native American groups want a complete break away. I don't know if it's the years of bad blood, which is understandable or if they really want all Native American team names removed, i.e. 'The Chiefs' as well (Cleveland Indians is pretty obvious and in the same boat as Washington Commanders)

Well,ya know? The origin fer' the verbiaged terminology pertaining to that "gringo" word stems back to the Mexican American war of the middle/ late ,1840's (. picture in yer' mind's eye ,a 4.5 lb behemoth of Samuel Colt's walker dragoon revolver & you'd be about spot on / catching the 4th quarter of the time frame in question, anyway, it stems from a quite popular "marching ditty" the victorious American troops would all chime in& sing with great gusto as they were on the march thru out their defeated foe's former realm,,,as the spirited refrain went "GREEN GROWS THE GRASS" and then the troops ,all in unison would stomp their right foot down extra hard on the ground,thusly sending up puffs/ plumes of dust that could easily be seen from a distance
( reckon it seared an indelible psychological scar on indigenous population that lives to this very day)

This is my personal favorite suggestion so far. I like the name Red Wolves and wolves always make for a menacing logo. Warriors just feels so generic to me.

I think Redtails works well on a lot of levels. The last NFL team to integrate its roster (and only did so because they were forced to by the District of Columbia) is now commemorated with a name that references the brave Tuskegee airmen.

Yes, that’s a nice sentiment and they are certainly worthy of being honored but I don’t think Redtails works for a team mascot. The juvenile jokes and headline puns after a loss just write themselves and would be a constant source of embarrassment for the team. For me, it would certainly be in the discussion but in the end I think I would pass for that reason.

What's the chances it will be a naff supposed to be 'cool' name like something from the old XFL? Traditional uniforms are already been ruined by new designs so I assume they'll do the same with new nicknames.

changing the name of a team is tantamount to being a different team.
Does anyone like the las vegas raiders? lol thats a joke
if they are moving to another city they should have to change their name.

If washington becomes the washington potato's it isnt gonna be the same, and I am not a washington fan , so I have to think
their fans are gonna have a hard time relating to a new name. And maybe a new logo also.

Synder should just move the team if he has to change those, there are other citys, and then the name change would be ok.
