The new name should be the "RedWolves" They are gone in the world except for a few in NC. This could give the team and fans a name to cheer for but also shine an eye on these rare American wolves and help to protect and sustain the animal.

Although, given the team's sad history over the past two decades, I'm still a fan of LOLskins.

(43,189 posts)In all seriousness though, Washington Pigskins could work. Same amount of letters, same shortened nickname, works well with a football team.
Plus the 1980s era Redskins defensive line was nicknamed the "Hogs" so there's a historical angle to it as well.

Win-Win.

Would be great, but probably makes too much sense.
