The Washington Redtails is a name that started gaining traction this month.

"The name Redtails celebrates the WWII Tuskegee Airmen, who were the first African-American military aviators in the U.S. Armed Forces," the graphic reads. Russell Wilson Jersey "The nickname Redtailscomes from their planes, which had a distinct crimson tail."

This name works for a variety of reasons. It allows Washington fans to keep the "HTTR" motto, the color scheme remains mostly the same and it Will Dissly Jersey honors the Tuskegee Airmen.

Quarterback Dwayne Haskins even likes this one.

I like the redtails

This namestill draws some controversy. On one hand, it continues to keepNative Americans in mind while removing the term "Redskins." But on Tre Flowers Jersey the other hand, many people have an i sue with Native Americans being used as a mascot at all.

Folks tweeting about Washington Warriors with feathers and arrows on the logo mi sed the whole damn point.Native American cultures and our tribes are real, contemporary, diverse and ALIVE.We are not cartoons.And we are not mascots.

This is likely a name the franchise will consider, but since people are already having problems with it, switching to Warriors doesn't seem like it'd be a smart move.

It is worth pointing out that Snydertrademarked the name "Washington Warriors" in 2000. He was planning to use itfor an Arena Football League team, but that team never developed.

UPDATE: D.C. radio host he had it on pretty good authority that Warriors is the leadingcontender for the Redskins' replacement name.

I dont think thats a reveal by any stretch,Sheehan said. I think people do know that the Redskins have marked Washington Warriors just in case, and that this has been the way. I would bet big money on the Warriors being the new name for the football team.

Washington Hogs/Washington Red Hogs Shaun Alexander Jersey

The Hogs were the nickname for the Washington offensive Rasheem Green Jersey line that helped the franchise win three Super Bowl titles during the1980s and early 1990s. Snyder said he wants to honor the "proud tradition and history of the franchise," sowhat better way to do that than to name your team after the group that helped you win Super Bowls?

The offensive line was simply called "The Hogs," but if Washington wanted to get a little more creative, it could go with Red Hogs. The Red Hog is an actual animal, and it would allow the team to maintain its color scheme.

Washington RedHawks

DesignerBrandon Moore for RedHawks, a name that gained attention in 2017 due to a bizarre hoax. A group ofNative American activists began tweeting out links that mocked the design of websites like Sports Illustrated, ESPN and others. But the websites were fake. (.) Ezekiel Ansah Jersey

The group ofNative American activists explained why RedHawks was a valid name change in a statement.

Official Statement on campaign by Native advocates. "We created this action to show the NFL and the Washington Football franchise how easy, popular and powerful changing the name could be."

Washington Redhawks (@redhawksdc)

This wouldn't be the first time a sports team changed its name from Redskins to RedHawks. made this switch during the 1997-98 school year. Barkevious Mingo Jersey

Washington RedWolves

Dear Dan Snyder,Please listen to your fans, especially ones under 30. All that we know is FAILURE. Give us something we want for once. Give us something to get behind. Give us the Washington

(@_DizzyDT)

The RedWolves is a name that started gaining traction from fans late in the proce s. Even some former Washington players praised the name. Will Compton tweeted his support , "Id want to come back to Washington for one day and retire a Red Wolf."

Fred Smoot also praised the name on.

"It is an endangered species. It allows us to keep the 'HTTR,'" Smoot said."It allows Ethan Pocic Jersey us to keep the burgundy and gold. It allows us to have some crazy uniforms.Like I said before, I can see 80,000 people in FedEx Field howling like wolves after Chase Young gets a sack to win a game."

Honorable Mentions

Some other names that have been floated out there include the Renegades, Defenders, Senatorsand Sentinels. The Sentinels would mimic the fictional team from "The Replacements." And even though the XFL is dead, it seems unlikely the Redskins would just pick up the D.C. Defenders' team name.

The Senators got some early traction, but according , the Nationals still own thatmoniker, and that's probably a good thing. "Senators" doesn't draw much excitement.

Other names center around Washington's political theme.
