Hail To A Name change..... Sports/NFL

[Brian37]

I know how my late mother would have responded to this news if alive today. 

She was always a traditionalist and a script thinker. My late mother was a HUGE Redskin fan, like me. But I know her, if she was still alive today, she would be pissed at the name change.

She wouldn't disown me for agreeing a name change was in order, but it would become one of those things we'd have to avoid talking about to keep the peace.  

An aside, without googling can you tell me the Redskins original name and what city it originally started out as, and it's original name?

Another trivia question, this Redskin linebacker played for the team from 1965 to 1978, And just like his last name namesake, despite one letter, had a stuffed doll made with his image in Redskin uniform for a major fast food chain, who gave out these stuffed toys as a promotion. both the team and fast food chain had similar color motifs.

I can give you 55 reasons. Name me the player.

I was just researching the 55 Redskins doll I had as a kid. But couldn't find shit on it.  Looking at it now, it was common for unlicensed people to sell tokens and nick nacks without the team's permission. It also cold be that my mom picked that up somewhere from a place that mimicked the team and used the number without agreement of the team.

I might have had a bootlegged doll. My memory is not faulty in that I did have a stuffed #55 Redskins doll. But maybe looking back at it now, it wasn't a team authorized product.

^^^^ BINGO, but you had to look that up, admit it. 

An aside, I was a very superstitious and fearful kid growing up. At night I feared the dark and had tons of stuffed toys i would surround my body with in order to fall asleep. His doll was one of them on top of the giant Winnie The Pooh..... <---- got the "h" this time.

You got the Hanburger part right. But what was the original name of the team and what city did they originally start in prior to moving to DC?
