A lot of NFL fans have strong opinions when it comes to the new name and logo for the former Washington Redskins.

After the franchise—temporarily known as the Washington Football Team—announced in July that it would drop the controversial name it has held since the 1930s, social media was abuzz with ideas. Some hoped the team would rebrand to the Washington Redwolves, while others urged a new era of the Washington Redtails, inspired by the nickname for the Black Air Force unit also known as the Tuskegee Airmen.
