If or when this happens what would you like the new name to be?

I think the easiest solution would be to name of the team to "The Warriors".

That way perhaps they could choose to keep the native american theme but it would not be perceived as offensive, or change it to a more "patriotic/american" theme ( perhaps featuring soldiers/military.)
Redskins.....There more important things to worry about than the name of a Football team.

Washington Scandals.

Redskins has to go. One can only imagine if the team were named the Blackskins. That name would have been changed a long time ago.

Changing the name is not only the right thing to do but it will be a financial boom to the team.
For that reason alone I'm puzzled why it's not being embraced.

They could keep the Indian theme by calling the team "The Untouchables." If there are complaints from Hindus, they claim that the nickname is honoring Elliot Ness and the Treasury Department.

I like a lot of the answers here...anything that emphasizes DC's political ineptitude.

I will propose the Washington Stopgaps.
