It would be worth it just to see the reaction from the population that wanted to keep the old name. |

People were actually liking Washington Football Team, and it definitely would beat Commanders in a poll.
They had a bunch of good names to select from. Red Wolves, Red Hogs, etc.
Would the tribes have protested Skins or 'Skins? I suppose.

Don't think that would have been warmly received really, but it was semi-reminiscent of the old name. |

I wanted Washington Vipers because we never had a team named after snakes and DC was historically kind of a swampy area.

I hadn't heard that, but that's kinda funny considering how comfortable Snyder was with the old name for so long. |

But is there a name that fans will overwhelmingly like? I just don't think there's any name they could come up with that wouldn't make people say it sounds "weird," "generic," "like an arena team" or whatever.
