I was having a debate with my girlfriend about the new team name whatever it ends up being
I think they should keep the same color scheme of burgundy and yellow to keep some tie to tradition
She thinks they should change for a total clean break and new start - she likes red, white and blue to stay in line with the Nationals, Wizards and Caps
Well with this particular slur well before the NFL came into existence...when did these names or nicknames become racist and slurs...
I’ve thought that changing the name to The Pigskins makes a lot of sense. It still has ‘Skins in the name, it’s the same amount of syllables so it flows the same, ‘pigskin’ is a term long associated with football and it harkens back to their glory days in the 80s as “The Hogs” when fans that would wear pig noses to games (maybe they still do). Makes a lot of sense IMO. Of course the team is still run by Dan Snyder so having decisions make sense isn’t their normal modus operandi.
I see that color scheme I can't help but think of the Houston Oilers...who had my 2nd favorite uniforms ever.
