Early on in their history, the Green Bay Packers were the Acme Packers, taking their name from the Acme Packing Company. Though the original sponsor of the team was the Indian Packing Company, it was under Acme that the team joined the American Professional Football Association (soon to be the NFL) in 1921.

Thank you Cliff Claven.

gonna destroy the team and lose all the fans and you can make arguments for multiple other teams needing to change their names also
Kansas City Chiefs - Offensive to Native Americans

I'm thinking: Kansas City Police Chiefs.

I can't imagine anyone having an issue with that...

I'm sure this was discussed on one of the 5 REdskins name change threads but I didn't read them so...

Cleveland Indians determining "best path forward" regarding their name, too - ProFootballTalk

By the way, why is Indians racially insensitive but Cowboys is? The name is what you make of it IMO. Is it insulting or a tribute?

It means the football team who plays in Washington. If I told you I ran into a couple of redskins yesterday, what would you think? Haskins, Kerrigan?

Remember that old TV ad for whatever featuring Tom Landry dressed as a wild west cowboy when he says "You never know when you'll run into a group of Redskins,." and then is surrounded by Redskin football players? Another great ad, except that no one remembers the product.

I gotta get me a Redskins facemask to troll the mask lovers that hate the team name.

And if they touch it, 15 yards, personal foul, facemask.

Just "DC". Not The DC ____________.

From my Redskins forum post:

I imagine owners/the NFL would have to sign off on a name change. "War" probably wouldn't be in the new name. "Hogs" is gross, regardless of the context. "Redtails" ain't bad.
My idea, if you wanna get unique, just call the team "DC". Not the DC _______, just "DC".

In the end a name change would be very beneficial only because they wouldn’t get so much negative press, like a fool who rates Haskins below qbs that haven’t even played a single nfl game, and ones who can’t even win the starting position on their own teams. Probably even get a lot more calls from the refs in their favor.

so changing the name is going to make everything better, right

Washington Snowflakes?

All Washington has to do is keep the colors and just call themselves Washington, no nickname. The W will be their logo. And they'll be known as the Ws.

Washington owned slaves. There'd be bitching and moaning over that, too.

The Washington Snyders. Hey, if the Browns can do it.

I believe so if they give in to these liberal mfr’s. Yes, they’ll get more respect and help, it’s unfortunate that’s what it’ll take. The liberal media loves to see the REDSKINS fail.
