Solving the Washington Redskins Public Perception Problems

[Tin Man]

For more than a year, now, I've been submitting to the Washington Redskins organization an idea to save the name of their team, change their negatives to positives, and create new marketing and merchandising opportunities. All this may be accomplished by changing the logo. Replace the stylized depiction of a native American with one of redskin peanuts in their open shells. Replace the drooping feathers with a spring of green, flowering peanut plant. Other elements of design, team colors, and uniform appearance need not change.

Here's a crude rendering of the concept

People with peanut allergies would protest.

There are 3 Million People in the U.S. with peanut allergies and rising.

There are 2.9 Million Full-blood Native Americans in the U.S.

The organization will sell a full line of peanut products and merchandise, receiving good pub for donating a portion of the proceeds to peanut allergy research and subsidized care for the less fortunate.

With the redskin peanuts, you have regional ties (Virginia) which don't exist for red skinned potatoes.
Mascots: Goober vs Spud
Merchandising: Methinks there are more peanut possibilities than potato.
Product diversification: Peanuts, hands down. Easier storage, packaging, shelf-life, variable foodstuffs, recipes, etc.

This thread is gold.

But while were talking lawsuit. Im sure the planters peanuts will sue cause of trademark enfringement when the new Redskin mascot has an uncanny resemblance to one Mr. Peanut.

Surely, the Redskins PTBs will preempt any such through proactive dialog...

Fits with that peanut brained owner. He could save money by wearing the mascott uni himself.

Damn you. In less than a hour you poopoo'd the idea.

Perspective, good sir. He's an Angry Weasel's fan. A smidgen of sympathy and a grain of salt are in order.

Look at the eyes. I think he already resembles Dan Snyder. I think the Skids could pull this off and even sue Planters for using Snyder as their mascot.

Well - at least Snyder looks human unlike your owner who is the male equivalent of Joan Rivers (RIP) with all that God awful work he has had done.

No argument here.

Snyder as their mascot

they already have a model with the one a few years back in his office wearing the solid burgundy sweat suit, big grin and both thumbs in the air

Sidebar: JJ needs to wear monochrome pink this October and make a large gift to save the tatas. He can have a life size photographic portrait of himself in the custom pink threads placed prominently in the entryway to his offices.
