Or even red tailed hawks, which we have here, though they’d probably go with Red Hawks.

Downside with Red Tails is the inevitable “turned tail and ran” headlines.

Original name was the Boston Braves, which doesn’t help.

Snyder already owns “Warriors” so that could happen.

We seriously need a change to break the curse (though the curse is probably Snyder).

However, he famously said he’d NEVER change the name and said you could put never in all caps. So I hope he has to!
