NFL Fans Suggests New Names For The Redskins After Pressure To Change It From Nike, FedEx (TWEETS)

A couple of years ago, Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder went on record to state that he would “never” change the name of his team, but he is receiving ultimate pressure from stadium sponsor FedEx to change it.

On top of that, Nike has reportedly taken all of Washington’s merchandise off of their site. With major sponsors making a public statement on the issue, it’s only a matter of time before the team has to listen and change their name.

Twitter users decided to get ahead of the curve and help them:

My vote:
1) Washington Redtails (keeps httr)
2) Washington Redhawks (keeps httr)
3) Washington Defenders
4) Washington Sentinels
5) Washington Warriors https://t.co/QDdbz40MzX

If Washington owner Dan Snyder ever gets his head out of his ass, I hope they change the team name to Redtails. Redtails was the nickname coined for the Tuskegee Airmen, the first African-American military aviators in the United States Armed Forces. pic.twitter.com/5cP1yTVxkO

I say you stick with the Redakins name but make it the Redskin Potatoes. That way you drop the racist connotation but don’t have to do a ground up rebranding. And you win over all culinary community as new fans. pic.twitter.com/KN7nexUs73
