The Washington Redtails? The odds-on favorite to replace 'Redskins' gives a nod to the Tuskegee Airmen of WWII - and the trademark holder says team owner Dan Snyder can have it for free

After the spankings last season their tails are probably still red.

[SkyDancer]

How about “The Potomac Flounders”?

[ataDude]

I still like “Swampsters”. Or maybe, the “F*reskins”.

[Viking2002]

Thank you. As an American of German extraction, I take offense at renaming the team after a small group of minority pilots who do not represent my ancestry yet killed thousands of them in the process of waging war from above. I therefore submit that the team should be renamed The Washington Panzers. [/sarc]

Redtails? Like what happens when you eat too many prunes? That’s a gross name. Good grief!

[rlmorel]

Damn. I did like Sonny back in the day...and look at that gut!!!

[DuncanWaring]

Or just “Washington Reds”.

[rlmorel]

"...Team nicknames are just that, fun informal names. They aren’t supposed to be woke...”

"It is too late for that, Fraulein..."

[bigbob]

Tail being a slang synonym for...

[hsmomx3]

I like that one!

I think whatever name they come up with, it will sound so juvenile, more like a kids football team.

[Major Matt Mason]

No, they'll embrace it because it is African-American related. Pretty lame name, though, and one they might want to re-think (that's as far as I'll go it, though).

[Midwesterner53]

The Washington Tampons would be much more suited to these pu$$ies.

[Midwesterner53]

Maybe the Pillow Biters?

[Bikkuri]

Wrong state

[Bikkuri]

I have always said the SF 49ers should instead be the 69ers...

[llevrok]

Ahhhhhh, Sonny! Now THAT’S a QB physique!

[Bookshelf]

The Washington Macaques.

[VMI70]

Blackskins

[WLusvardi]

How about Washington Red Zoners? Or Red Ants? Or Red Ballers?

[jonrick46]

The Washington Woodpeckers!
