Woz Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 (edited) 1 hour ago, pf9 said: But Senators would be a very fitting nickname for FSU. The university is located in Florida's capital, Tallahassee. And sports teams which play in either Washington DC or a state capital have often been named Senators (ex. the Washington Senators of Major League Baseball, whose first incarnation is now the Minnesota Twins, and second is now the Texas Rangers). So ... FSU should give up a name that the actual tribal nation supports them using to select a name that was renowned for the aphorism: "Washington First in war, first in peace Last in the American League" ?

pf9 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 That's just one team named the Senators. Not all teams with the same nickname are alike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Texas Rangers own the rights to the name Washington Senators so, if we wanted it we’d have to buy it from them or something. Not sure how that would work but we’d have to get their permission to use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pf9 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 My proposals for the Indians and Braves to become the Barons and Thrashers would still be great in terms of uniforms. With both teams having so many colors, there would be lots of alternate uniforms for both teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean.......if you boil down my opinion on the name change (and other matters) to "TLDR" that would be my assessment as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but I wonder if we could get it from them, if we wanted to. They may allow it to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Buck Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I've decided to just call them the "Skins" until they have an official name. This way, there is no alluding to red, white, black, brown, yellow, etc. We all have skin, so nobody can be offended if I just talk about skin in general. Ha! About the only one who could possibly be offended by this is the guy in the movie Hellraiser II, who lost his skin completely. I'm willing to risk offending him though. With Pinhead after him, the name of a football team is the least of his worries! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
