How did Washington Capitals get their name?
Whence the Washington Redskins?George Preston Marshall acquired an NFL franchise in 1932 and named it the Boston Braves after the city's Major League Baseball team. However, after a financially devastating and poorly attended season in 1932, Marshall abandoned the Braves name in favor of the Redskins. The Redskins name was retained when the team moved to Washington in 1937. Other responses from s.com contributors:I'm not sure how the Redskins got their name, but here is what the term means... Back not so long ago, when there was a bounty on the heads of the Indian people, the trappers would bring in Indian scalps along with the other skins that they had managed to trap or shoot. These scalps brought varying prices, as did the skins of the animals. The trappers would tell the trading post owner (or whoever it was that he was dealing with) that he had 2 bearskins, a couple of beaver skins... and a few scalps. Well, the term "scalp" offended the good Christian women of the community and they asked that another term be found to describe these things. So, the trappers and hunters began using the term "redskin"... They would tell the owner that they had bearskin, deer skins... and "redskins." The term came from the bloody mess that one saw when looking at the scalp. Thus the term "red" skin because it was the "skin" of an "animal" just like the others that they had, so it became "redskins."The team was founded in 1932 as the Boston Braves, named after the Boston baseball team. At that time it was common for football and baseball teams in the same city to have the same name; examples include the New York Giants, St. Louis Cardinals, and New York Yankees. Amid flagging revenues, both versions of the Boston Braves tried to generate new interest by changing their names. The baseball team changed its name to the Boston Bees (that didn't last long. They went back to being the Boston Braves and later moved to Milwaukee and then Atlanta, where they still play.) In 1933 the football team changed its name to the Boston Redskins, and in 1937 it moved to Washington.The Redskins started in Boston as the Braves in the 1930s. After the Boston Braves baseball team moved away from Boston, the football Braves decided to change their name. They wanted to keep a similar name. So they looked at the reamining baseball team in town (Boston Red Sox) and thought about incorporating part of the Red Sox name into the new name for the football team. And keeping the Indian theme, the football team changed their name to the Redskins.The Washington Redskins franchise started as the Boston Braves (same as the baseball team of the same era) in 1932. To minimize confusion with the baseball team, they revised their mascot name to the Redskins. They kept the name through their move to Washington, D.C. in 1937 and have held on to it ever since, despite occasional protests from Native American interest groups.
