Is there a native tribe in the mid-atlantic region that would be ok licensing their name in a tasteful way? Pretty much anything will be better than an overt racial slur, but wiping all the native imagery and replacing it with white colonialist imagery is problematic in a different way. Hopefully they're smart enough to not go with anything military or political office related. You could take the political messaging in a new direction and call them the DC 51s

nerve posted:Redtails is absolutely perfect. HTTR. Like it's absolutely, 100% perfect. Turns a racist name into one honoring a group of minority trailblazers. It keeps their capital-R and color scheme. The replacement logo of the aviator in proud profile would be dope. You can do sweet WW2 restored plane fly-overs on game day. It's such a great idea that of course they won't do it. On the other hand Warthogs is okay, too. Also, easy cash tie-in when Disney pays to get Lion King characters on the helmet as the logo.

The Jazz started off in New Orleans, the Lakers in Minnesota- those are the most egregious examples I can think of. The Tuskegee Airmen trained in Alabama. Mostly, I don't want Dan Snyder to trademark a name of a -different- group that was primarily notable for their skin color.

If they actually did the "warblers of rock creek park" name I would seriously consider switching allegiances or at least making them on equal footing with the Ravens. I am not kidding. But that name would never get picked so I don't think I could cheer against a team called that.
