new name for the washington redskins.

Since the team was actually founded as "Boston Braves" they could just be the "Washington Braves".

It won't be braves because of the native American roots.

Warriors appears to be the favourite.

The Boston braves were named after the native Americans so braves can't be used for the same reason redskins needs to be changed.

Some rather cool name suggestions and logo changes here: https://www.nbcsports.com/washington/redskins/ten-new-fan-generated-logo-and-uniform-designs-redskins-name-change

"Red Wolves" looks best to me with the slightly altered Tywin Lannister quote.

I agree. Red wolves looks/sounds really fresh.

New name TBD.

Washington Red Wolves is a tongue-twister. Say it fast three times.

The way things are going they better change the name of "Washington".

He ain't too popular right now with the cancel culture dictators.
