If you’re a fan of both the Washington Redskins, and the occasional sports gambling wager, you’re in luck.
Amidst the news that Washington is potentially/likely to change its team name before the 2020 season, a number of sites have released odds on what the next name will be. At OddsShark, they have a complete list of options, set with handicaps.
‘Redtails’ is out in the lead, and it seems to have the most favor among fans, many of whom are fascinated by its backstory of a WWII Tuskegee Airmen group that was the first African American aviators in the U.S. Armed Forces.

Other options like the Presidents, Generals, or Memorials have been mentioned, but they don’t feel like great options. Some names that are not on the aforementioned list that seem to be popular on social media are Warriors, Redspears, Sentinels, or Braves. Some are against the Warriors’ name since it is already commonly known as the Golden State team who has been so dominant recently in the NBA, and the Braves would be a switch back to the old, as that was the Redskins name before the first initial change.
