Washington Can No Longer Be Redskins; Here’s A Few Suggestions

small__8201100011Much to Washingtonians’ chagrin, The United States Trademark and Patent Office has cancelled the Redskin’s trademark for the football team.  It cites the name as disparaging to Native Americans.

I don’t have a feeling about this decision one way or the other.  I don’t live in Washington and I don’t follow the NFL.

Many Redskins fans will undoubtedly be upset about the ruling.  However, there’s a silver lining in all of this; the Redskins will have to change their uniforms and logo.

Here’s to hoping they don’t choose the ugliest color combinations possible.  Oh wait, they already did that.

Since the Redskins are without a name and mascot, I took it upon myself to come up with a few options.  Hopefully Washington will choose one of these and send me tickets to their opening game.

    1. Delightful idea about the Caffeinators! I wanted to make one for Nirvana and the grunge movement but wasn’t sure how to make that one work.

    1. Yeah, I thought that George Washington one was pretty clever. I also wanted to work in that he couldn’t tell a lie, but I think the cherry tree reference says it all.
