Maybe if they were on a national stage with a national audience and had to cover their asses. But probably no, not yet.

28 have changed in the past 25 years... 62 remain. HS's that is.

3 of which have a majority of Native Americans.

Really odd that they haven't changed the name there since they are SOOOOOOOOOOO offended.

I am now trying to find a black market Redskins t-shirt with the potato logo. I will wear it proudly if I find one.

Dude... you ruined the whole joke. Come on Gelston. NO WONDER you weren't Ebonheart Pact. JEEZ.

Although, admittedly, the redskin potato jersey would be a good icebreaker.

The furor has had an impact. Sales of Redskins items plunged 35% in the most recent quarter, despite a 3% rise in sales of NFL merchandise overall, according to SportsSourceOne, a service that tracks licensed merchandise sales nationwide.

"People are having a second thoughts about wearing a T-shirt with the logo or name that it has now been called racist," said Matt Powell, senior analyst for SportsSourceOne.

Ask youself if you would have second thoughts about wearing a "Redskins" shirt to places where you would be comfortable wearing other sports insignia. Be honest.
