BREAKING: The Harlem Globetrotters, who own the trademark and name of their opponents, the Washington Generals, say they will entertain offers from Daniel Snyder and the NFL should they want to acquire the name to replace the Redskins. https://t.co/KS0Z4Frlqj

If the Washington Redskins wish to rebrand themselves as the Washington Generals, the Harlem Globetrotters will reportedly listen to offers.
According to Darren Rovell, the Globetrotters, who owns the trademark for the Generals — their age-old foe who is continually thwarted by basketball trick shots — are willing to entertain offers, should they exist. While it seems unlikely that the Redskins would rebrand as a team that’s literal job is to lose every game they play, at least the opportunity is there.
The Redskins may not end up changing their name, though it seems like a likely outcome at this point in time. If they are to eventually rebrand, a number of potential outcomes have risen, with names such as the Redtails, Redhawks, Warriors, Sentinels leading the way.
Now you can add Generals to that list if anyone was so inclined.
