Please don't get political (although I have little hope that it will not). Peace.
NFL Commanders talking about changing the name back to "Redskins"

They should be the Washington Weeds.
It's alliterative.
Weeds can't be beaten.
They always come back.
Their jerseys and tee shirts will have a huge market.
They will attract new fans who will spend big bucks on stadium food.
could’ve solved the whole damn problem by putting a potato on the helmet.
Appropriate name for D.C. Walk the streets there where the smell of Skunk Weed permeates the air.
I don’t think this is quite true. They are indeed in negotiations to bring back use of the iconic logo that honors a real life Indian. This would be in exchange for approval by Congress for the team to use the RFK Stadium site for a new stadium. But I don’t believe the Redskins name is coming back. They should make it Washington Warriors. California is so woke I’m sure Golden State wouldn’t mind.
I still call them the Redskins, as I still call Cleveland’s baseball team the Indians.
Not a fan of them but always thought they should have been the Washington Warriors. Cleveland Indians should have been the Cleveland Rockers.
My personal view is they should have just left it as it was. Of course the name change results in lots of jerseys, hats, etc. sales.. More money which is what everything is all a out.

I never understood the concept that a community would name their team after someone/thing that they had no respect for or wanted to make fun of.....
There were ample demonstrations this weekend on college campuses of the (misguided?) pride that players have in protecting their school colors and team logos.
And for good or bad, it is a part of history.
They can call the team the “Old Overweight White Guys.”
I won’t complain.
Way too many serious problems for the world to worry about.

As it should be. Team names are chosen as signs of strength and honor. No one chooses something to be mocked. Native Americans aren't offended by the name...only white progressives are. Restore the name.
That can be said just about anywhere these days. Stinks .........
I think the washington deficits with a red dollar sign logo would be appropriate.
Somehow incorporate prison bars because most of them, elected or appointed or hired or lobbyists, should be in prison.
The Cleveland Indians Logo was kind of cringeworthy. It was more of an Indian caricature that reminded me of how they depicted Indians in old post WWII cartoons that I watched as a boy.
In hindsight perhaps they selected that logo to imitate those old cartoons and attract new young viewers back then.....
Change the name to Swamp Creatures. If not, how about Washington Team Football with a large WTF on the side of their helmets.
I do the same. Local high school team used to be the Redskins. Still are in my book
How about Washington Treasonous Felons, with a large WTF on the side of their helmets.
So you're issue is with the mascot, not the name. That's a completely different issue.
I like the name, but would put a picture of the Capitol - where Congress meets - on the helmet
The list is endless. Fighting Irish, Demon Deacons, Friars, Quakers… Indian nicknames are only unacceptable to the true racists that deep down inside deem American Indians inferior.
I really like this idea...although I prefer the team changing back to the Redskins name. But if they couldn't...
I thought the logo was kind of ridiculous as well, but it sure was memorable. Couldn't confuse it with anything else.
Awesome find and thanks for sharing. Everyone needs to see this (I assume Carlin's history lesson is correct).
In the recent seasons before the name change, the organization basically had eliminated any use of Chief Wahoo and instead mainly used a block "C" on the caps, etc.
