Introducing... "Washington Football Team" football team

[CF LION]

That name doesn’t have the makings of a varsity mascot.

G-Dub in a bed with some scantily clad cheerleaders.

They should call themselves the Washington Maroons. It's their primary color. Then when we see them we could be like Bugs Bunny and say 'What a maroon!'.

On the serious side, would "maroon" be acceptable in the US? Maybe the Maroons are viewed as heroic by many. Nowadays it's hard to know what may be offensive.

The Declaration, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights are written on parchment. Parchment is treated animal skin, typically sheepskin. Since the team is in Washington it is appropriate, they could be the "read skins". (Granted, it would be confusing since read is the past tense of read.)

Just wait until they settle on a new name and then the cancel crowd comes for "Washington".

Instead of Washington United, how about a play on the political environment. Washington Divided.
