Football helmet

Hi Guys,
Hey,,, with all the stuff going on about NFL teams changing their names to be more politically correct.
I thought about what the Washington Redskins would
change their name to.
A friend of mine had a funny thought about it,,,
So,,, I did a re-paint on the helmet model for their team.
We changed it so they could keep the word RED.
And here is what we came up with.
Hope you all get a laugh out of this one.
The Washington Red Onions.
Enjoy,
Gary
PS,,, Another one they could do is the Washington Red Grapes.
And my wife said When they loose a game they could say,,,
Sour Grapes. ( HE HE )

LOL. I saw something similar. Instead of a warrior's head, there were 3 red skinned potatoes. If they went with that logo, they could have kept the same name. Of course, many would fail to appreciate the humor.

The first new name that popped into my mind was the Washington Invertebrates -- and a stylized amoeba or paramecium would be an appropriate logo. But as you say, the PC crowd would not like the many implications.

Thanks for your imput RPS, and Yale,
I have gone ahead and also designed two more helmets
for them. Keeping the word RED for them.
One is the Washington Red Grapes, and the other is
the Washington Red Potatoes.
And when they get a new team member they could
call them the Washington TATER TOTS. ( HE HE )
Best Regards,
Gary
