A betting favorite has emerged to replace 'Redskins' as the new name for Washington's NFL franchise, but although the alternative is already trademarked, there is some good news for team owner Dan Snyder: He can have it for free. Martin McCaulay, a 61-year-old actuary from Alexandria, Virginia, has been registering alternatives for Washington's football team for the last six years as a bit of a hobby. Among his current trademarks is the name 'Redtails,' which is the top choice being offered by online bookmakers, including BetOnline.ag, which put the odds at 3-to-1.

Sellouts
Quisings
Nope...it’s all yours. Enjoy.
thanks Captain!
My choice would be the Washington Blackskins since most of the players and also most of the fans in D.C. and the Maryland suburbs are black!
Red Tampons? Works for me, at least as the team name.
how about the DC Cowards? DC Swamp Gators?

This morning on a talk show a caller came up with the best suggested name change I’ve heard so far: The Washington Swamp Rats
