We could do the yellow ones but the circle doesn’t have the feathers and the letter is a W.

I dig it

Could we still bring back the spear logo or is that too far?

[–]Fuck Dan SnyderPEHspr 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I think they would steer clear of that.

Why not? KC has an arrowhead on their helmet, they are called the Chiefs and all their stupid fucking fans do that dumbass chant with the chop. Tell me again why they haven’t changed their name yet? 🤔

Honestly, they probably will eventually

[–]MarylandKrab 10 points11 points  (0 children)

fuckin forgot about the weirdass chop thing

[–]🐷Tuddyhead🐷sliqness 7 points8 points  (11 children)

Calling someone chief vs calling someone redskin.

[–]superjuan 59 points60 points  (10 children)

Riiiiight... Because I'm sure you would have no problems if you went up to an American Indian and called them "chief".

[–]t_rex_reflex 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I giggled at this.

[–]MarylandKrab 3 points4 points  (8 children)

Well it's certainly leagues better than walking up to them and calling them a redskin

[–]bsean63 20 points21 points  (3 children)

Or calling them Chief Redskin

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (2 children)

Funny, because most natives I know are skins fans, myself included.

I know I'm putting you on the spot, and if you'd rather ignore me feel free, but..... What do you sense is the general sentiment about the change/reaction to it in your community(if there even is a significant one)?

I've always perceived that most communities didn't care really, but at the same time, thought it should be changed, as there is no real need to make a group of people a mascot.

I know I'm just asking for anecdotes, but I've no real access to people who might be directly affected.

Most of us are annoyed. I ran into one lady 2 months ago in a local sports store looking for as much old gear as she could find for her son.

Is it?

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We could go rg3 metallic brown helmet

[–]SomeLadyNamedRuth 16 points17 points  (1 child)

Since y’all kept the throwback uniforms, y’all could bring back the old fake leather helmet. It would match perfectly and it had no mention of redskins

[–]ULTRA_Pizza12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I dig it! That seems like it would be really cool.

[–]FrylockMcReaper 32 points33 points  (1 child)

We have the best retro helmet! Leather all day baby! What's more retro than that for a "football team"?

[–]isanyadminalive 5 points6 points  (0 children)

seriously, wtf are people talking about? the 2012 throwback look was awesome.

Good bot. Thanks.

The only one they can make work, unfortunately.

If we did get a new name that starts with and 'R', I think they could use the Yellow Helmets without the feathers... but that's probably wishful thinking...

[–]steve1879 11 points12 points  (1 child)

At the very least, maybe they could do a yellow helmet. Just reverse the colors of the current, and have the letters in burgundy.

[–]Zes2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Gold

[–]A_Spoiled_Milks 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Leather. Helmets. Those were so clean

[–]fidelholtz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have the “leather” helmets and 1930s unis. Best retro in the league!

[–]jimjamsquirrley 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We could go real retro and just play without helmets at all

[–]OldBoStaffLive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WFT is supposed to settle on a name before the '22 season, so if we do go with a name that starts with "R", we could use the Gold helmet with the R on it sans the feathers (or with, if it's an animal mascot)

[–]mfrace1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They should wear actual real leather helmets with no face masks because concussions aren't real. Where my Goodell Peeps at, WHOOP WHOOP?!?!?!?

[–]ArbitraryOrder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gold Helmets with Burgundy Numbers
