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.

That's patently absurd; you must get your history from Breitbart.

There was a rather long passage condemning the slave trade that was deleted but Jefferson never proposed that abolitionist language be added to the D of A. https://www.history.com/news/declaration-of-independence-deleted-anti-slavery-clause-jefferson

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.

The warriors gear looks awful.

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

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