Will Jim Thorpe's tribe approve of this?

They could keep the color theme and just be the Washington Red Tapes.

The city is also pushing for the name change. If Snyder is forced to change the name, he won't just change the mascot, he will move out of DC. Why stay in a town where the leadership doesn't support the team? Oklahoma is ready for a pro team and Norman has one of the largest stadiums in the country. They would be called the Norman Oklahomans.

How about Memphis. Take the old Baseball Minor League name, The Memphis Blues.

Look up the meaning of Oklahoma and you'll get the joke.

Um, the long time nickname for Memphis' minor league team was the Chicks, which I think was short for the Chickasaws.

May I suggest the Washington Jellyfish?

A lot of jellyfish are red. And dangerous.

One news article mentioned Red Tails in honor of the Tuskegee Airmen. The logo would be a P-51 Red Tail. Sounds pretty dang cool.

Well my great grandfather was shot down by a Redtail
So that's offensive to me. No go on that name.

Could they call the stadium The Territory?

But I thought there was already a pro football team in Norman with a name that should be offensive to native americans.

My vote for the name change would be the Washington Cadavers. The NFL is dead to me.
