Everyone in DC already calls them the 'Skins, they have a bunch of fans who dress up like pigs, and pigskin is a nickname for the sport they play. Inevitable PETA whining aside, it should be a pretty painless name change to the Pigskins. The Washington City Paper has been calling them that for the past few years since they decided to stop printing racial epithets in their newspaper.
