there's a flip-side to the $ coin:
All of the new cash revenue from new logo jerseys, hats, couches, bumper stickers $$$$$$$$$

So, just to turn a bit from all the debates over whether this is PC /not PC enough /etc., and now that it will change -
Do you think they will stick to something similar, like "Warriors", and keep the same color scheme - or make a complete switch to something totally different?

Several potential new names for Redskins trademarked by Virginia man by GARY SCURKA, WJLA Staff Monday, July 13th 2020 WASHINGTON (WJLA) — A name change for the Washington Redskins may be hung up by a Virginia man who works for the Department of Energy. Records at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office show Martin McCaulay, an actuary for the DOE, holds the trademarks for dozens of potential names for the soon-to-be renamed team, including the Redtails, the Red Wolves, and the Washington Americans. McCaulay filed the Redtails name in 2014. The Wolves and Americans trademarks were filed in June and July. McCaulay’s website says that he is an author of a number of best-selling books. His site also lists info about potential pro-football teams for the District, including the Red-tailed Hawks, the Warriors and the Federals. WJLA reached McCaulay Monday, but he declined an interview. A new name for the Redskins will apparently have to wait until the trademark issues are ironed out. Marc Ganis, a sports business consultant with Sportscorp, said Monday afternoon people don't legally have the right to sit on trademarked names unless they're using them. As far as the trademarking is concerned, we live in an age where people try and squat names... you know, squatters who take on dot com addresses," he said. "And although they don't legally have the right to do it unless they use it, it sometimes takes a little while to clear that legally. And so that may be part of what we're going through right now.
