Suggestions for new name for the Redskins
Please add your suggestions for the new name for the Redskins.
I'm going with The Hogs.
The Redskins offensive line was once known as The Hogs. Hogs are blue collar, they like to get dirty.
Also most NFL owners are hogs at the trough.
Chime in with your suggestions.
Not that it will ever happen but the DC Comics.
Snyder will try to get money from more than just DC - he'll go for the DC Marvels!
Snyder is a wimp. Just listen to my good friend:

The Executives.
Washington Dog Shit Tacos. Fits perfectly with DC.
How about the Sorry / Sad Snyders???
Career Politicians or The Swamp Creature
I was reading that the Generals is actually being considered as the new name. I will never be able to think of them without thinking of the plodding, dorky foils for the Globetrotters.
Ironic, don't you think, as that was the name of the USFL team owned by Trump.
It is like rain on your wedding day....
How about the Washington Orange Skins?
Washington Orange Peels?
Isn't that supposed to be a lucky thing?
Swamp Things
Snipers.
But I actually think they shouldn't have a team name. Just go by Washington. They odds they come up with something good are so low anyways. There are enough stupid jungle cat and bird names out there already.
Didn't think of that but that's actually not a bad idea at all... similar to European soccer clubs.
Or just a color. Stanford's mascot is just "Cardinal," as in the specific red hue.
Washington Whites?
Washington Rainbows?
Not sure if they would be proud, or offended to have their "color" used.
Hello, to a fellow Section 35 member!
Section 36>>>section 35.
I know. I've been there (since 1980).
Washington Burgundy and Gold
The Readskins. The mascot would be a person with tattoos.
Or how about the Radskins?
Overpaid Prima Donnas
The Worms.
Bullets
Bullets and Swamp Rats were my first thoughts :)
I like the Shane Falco/Sentinals reference below, also.
The Sparties.
The Shea Pattersons.
The PonyConquerers.
The Deadskins.
I agree, go with some type of pig name as a tribute to those teams.
Don't go with some generic garbage like capitals or nationals.
Change the colors to green, make the logo a football with a dollar sign, and call them the Washington Lobbyists. It would be the most honestly named team in sports history.
Come on, what about the Utah Jazz.
Yes, I know where they originated.
Never thought about that one. Any chance the Jazz come under fire soon?
Yes, and the Los Angeles Lakers. Minnesota would like their lakes back.
Or change the logo to a coffee cup and call them the "Civil Servants."
DC FC
I keep hearing “Red Wolves” thrown around with mixed opinions. Honestly, I kind of like the name. One of our pre-COVID opponents on this year’s schedule, Arkansas State, actually changed their name from the Indians to the Red Wolves years ago.
"Red ______" is overused by teams that used to have Indian-related names, like Arkansas State, St. John's, and Miami (NTM).
The Swamp Rats
The Washington ... Beltway. Swamp. Swamp Rats. Spoil System. Change Agents.
Washers
The Corruption
I like the idea that talking head Tony Kornheiser has been suggesting for years: 1) Keep the name. 2) Change the logo to a couple of potatoes.
Washington RedMash
That would be hilarious. Exactly what I would do.
Also one of the various reasons I'm not rich. Doing things for the lulz doesn't often make money.
D.C. Cabs
Hold on! One more thing or I'm walking too. I don't work on January the 8th, 'cause that's Elvis' birthday.
The Washington Sentinels. I heard they are going to hire the now retired Shane Falco as QB coach.
I've thought long and hard about this and my answer is Foreskins.
So when they hit the field, would it be Foreplay?
