A search by CBS News in the United States Patent and Trademark Office's database found at least seven names that have been registered in just the last month alone.

I think all his names suck. I'm sticking with my choice:
The Washington Blood-thirsty Cossacks.
What do you think? Any names that are even less PC than Redskins? How about the Washington Klansmen, or the Washington Slave-owners? Or how about The Washington Statues? Their slogan would be: Try to topple ME, MFer!
Just for fun. No stakes. Post your suggestions.

Back when the interweb became a thing an enterprising bar owner in Pittsburgh grabbed the domain pittsburghpirates.com.
A years long legal battle ensued while he tried to hold the team up for ransom. Eventually I think the law was changed forcing him to relinquish it.

It’s said a new name hasn’t been released yet because of trademark issues, so maybe he holds the rights to a name they want
