I'm going to contact the team in support of 'Warriors' as our new name. I have not been a fan of the NFL's quasi-sincere 'honoring' of the military in the past, but if they were to go all in on a team name that truly celebrated out active duty military and veterans, I think I could 100% embrace it. There are a number of cool things you could do and a lot of solid reasons why 'Warriors' makes the most sense.
The first reason I favor 'Warriors' is that other names, while they may have more *fervent* supporters, also tend to have equally fervent detractors. Names like Redwolves, Redtails, etc... have been advocated by many with extreme enthusiasm. But those who find alternative names silly, awkward, or just irrelevant will feel even more alienated if we go with one of these. 'Warriors' is pretty generic. There probably aren't a ton of fans rabidly screaming for the name, or spamming your social media timelines in support of it. But while many may not 'love it', I think the vast majority of fans would be 'okay with it' and embrace it over time. That's probably the best we can do in this situation. It may be the only potential name that truly disgruntled and angry fans can appreciate and support if we are never again to be the Redskins.
I would love to see them adopt this name, perhaps have a different military patch for each and every game. Pre-game or half-time could include a little history of that unit's accomplishments, fly in some active duty and veterans of that unit to recognize. You could give active duty and veterans a big price discount on tickets and gear. Hell, even an alternative camo uniform would be so cool.
The name is also controversy-proof. Sure, there may be pacifists out there who decry any celebration of the military, but anyone with a brain knows that we will always need brave men and women ready to defend America. There's zero chance any major controversy arises, especially when the NFL already quasi-worships the military as part of its existing culture.
Finally, the name 'Warriors' with a military theme would be RELEVANT to the DMV with our Pentagon, Navy Yard, Quantico, and countless other military installations dominating the region.
'Warriors' fits. And it should be the new name.
