WASHINGTON REDSKINS - OFFICIAL NAME CHANGE THREAD

We have an entire thread for his at the top of the page, it's stickied and I don't think that they’ll do that. In fact they've been clear they aren't going to do something like that. From all reports they are going away from Native American imagery.

He's being asked about the team name in the media, what’s he supposed to do, not answer the question?

You all are making a big deal out of absolutely nothing.

As far as I can tell throughout his history Rivera has always been invested heavily in his players, but I guess it's now fun to guess he won't be before he even coaches a game...

Ugh

He hasn't had to be the GM and have other responsibilities before.  It's fair to say that things might be affected from this.

Why not keep logo and simply rename the team, the Washington Natives !!!!!    It makes The best sense I’ve heard so far.  It would be a great mirror of the Washington Nationals MLB club.   I urge football fans to consider this simple name change to save an iconic American bit of our great national pride.   The original logo is not offensive to any one.  Look it up.   Change the name by inserting NATIVES and move on.   Thank you

Merged with the correct post.  @Bobby welcome to the forum!

Dan should just rent the name to a company that already has all rights to their name secured. Be the Washington DuPont for the next 5 years for 500million. Then Washington Birdseye Frozen Foods after. 

Works great for racing.

Why do you think its going to take 14-18 months to decide a new name?

I dont. I think it will take that long to get everything needed sorted out. Signage made and whatnot. But the name itself and all legalities worked out should only take a firm a couple/few months to sort through.

As much as your post was in jest, I could see naming rights being up for grabs.  Snyder would love to thumb his nose at the process with that.

I still stand by what I said before. Move the whole operation to Virginia and call them the Bulldogs or the Redwolves. The Virginia Bulldogs sounds pretty dope. Virginia Redwolves sounds pretty cool too. Just be done with DC if they’re making it such a hassle.

It it all about DC? Is that the reason they don’t have a new name? I hadn’t heard that one yet.
