This is something lost on the whole ordeal. Get rid of the pejorative, but keep the logo and the honor to Ameridiians.

Red Wolves has become my favorite after looking at some of these images. I think Redtails or Red Wolves work best. Warriors is a distant 3rd.

Washington fans are already mocking up logos for their possible new NFL team names

These are awesome!

Washington Generic Team Name 1
Washington Minimalist Team Name Composed by Phillip Glass (South Park reference)
City named after disgraceful slave owner we need to stop the patriarchy and just disband all male sports already who are we kidding (Yeah that one is kinda long)

I guess Barenaked Ladies is already taken.

I think they should be called the Washington Sweet Peaches, in honor of Robert “Sweet Peach” Meachem and one of the best plays I’ve ever seen when he stripped an intercepted pass from a Washington defender and then returned it for a TD.

My only concern would be the nectarine lobbyists getting offended that their fruit isn’t being represented.

Now here’s someone who is thinking!

I wonder if Washington is going to go full nascar/Confederate flag and ban any redskins logo/name in the stadium

So apparently there's a DC Comics thing called the Sentinels...maybe this is all a big misunderstanding.

Im sorry, but am I the only one who thinks there should be no color involved to prevent possible racism.

- Redskins
- Red Tails
Its too close.

Just be color neutral.

I heard a racist remark toward African Americans such as “red” and “yellow” is offensive. The same way Red skins is implying dark skins. Cincinnati did it right with the Reds. We have White Sox and Red Sox, but I think we are good with that.

Cincinnati did it right with the Reds.

I don't think we need pro-communist sport team names. Absolutely shameful.
