Every team needs a name.

I respectfully disagree. I’m with Jon Snow - the Washington Football Team is a fine name without a silly mascot tied to it. Mascots are for the benefit of children - football is a man’s game.

Now you’re going to have the thousands of Trekkies in the stands in Washington dressed up like Admiral James T Kirk. No one but the Trekkies will be happy.

I appreciate your respectful disagreement. I mean that.

Washington Admirals. Leaked someone is paying serious money to lock up that name with trademarks, etc. I guess the Washington Football team will have a name.
"Admiral" cannot be a reference to the heroism or fame of any historical figure, or something offensive will no doubt be found in their past.

What a stupid name. Wife has been a life long Redskins fan, not anymore.
Always room on the Buccaneers and Dolphins wagons.

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I'd have liked to see them just remain the Washington Football Team. It would have kind of a European soccer feel to it.
Atlanta Football Team
Charlotte Football Team
New Orleans Football Team
Tampa Football Team (St. Petersburg Baseball Team)
etc.

I like the look of the uniform. It’s strong. I think it will catch on quickly and no one will even mention the previous name in a couple of years. After all, the Redskins logo/name never scored a touchdown, never won a super bowl, never tailgated outside fedex field, never had a shared experience with family and friends while watching a game. It’s just a silly name/logo (because all mascot names/logos are silly).

Seems she’s not much of a fan.
Maybe not mutch anymore, but she had been one for 50 years. I guess with all the politics they have used the NFL to push she had chilled on them a bit already. However she is not alone. The state of Virginia had a huge Redskins following and I have seen a big decline in the following of the Washington football team already.

???? They scored plenty of touchdowns wearing that logo and using that name. Won Superbowls. Fans tailgated for years wearing that logo. Fans loved it. Fans didn't demand a change. Or are you saying people did all that, not a logo? Then that would be true for any logo including this new one. Or am I totally missing your point?

No. That’s the point. You’re rooting for people, not a logo. You’re enjoying watching people play a sport with friends and family, not getting enjoyment from a logo.

The logo and nickname didn’t make people like the team, the team made the people like the logo and nickname. The team will do the same for the new logo and nickname.

That's exactly why he caved. Had to look like he was the kinder, gentler, caring DS when we all know he's still very much the miserable, shady AF snake he's always been.

They will always be the Redskins as far as I'm concerned.
U squaw, me lucky😂
