How?

Harry Reid moves from messing up the Senate to predicting the Washington Redskins will change their name shortly.
And uses a lousy example.
The Wizards, you know, they were the Washington Bullets. With all the killing that took place, the murders in Washington, Abe Pollin – a very nice man – decided I don’t need any of this. So they changed it to the Washington Wizards. We’re all used to the Washington Wizards.
Except...
Have you seen the Wizards' current logos, trademarks and court set-ups?
They tried a different color scheme, but returned to the same one used by the Bullets during their tenure.
The Bullets were more fundamentally sound - holding the balls with the two l's of Bullets - while the Wizards have a "dc" logo with the ball atop the d.
The Redskins are much more popular.
Fans are much more invested in their Redskins stuff.
The chief logo has many more years to live.
If there were a better nickname out there, it would be in use by now.
