So the new "Washington Football helmet is out.

Are you excited? Similar in bland to the Brown helmet. Having lived in the DC area for 6 years during their heyday (Joe Gibbs), I actually have a good name. Fans are rabid (especially before Nationals as it was lone team).

Most of the fans refer to the team in short as the name "Skins". The Big Offensive Line has been called the Hogs. Put it all together ("Skins" nickname, slang for football, Hogs on the line-- you have the Washington Pigskins.
