If the Redskins change their name, how will it affect the collecting hobby?

Well, this got of hand.
I just wanted some opinions about the possible hobby ramifications IF the name got changed because Redskins was viewed as offensive.

Having said that, I think the Washington Warriors would be a good name.

Historically have there ever been any hobby ramifications to a team changing name? It happens a lot, though perhaps not due to the offensive nature of the team name, but I've yet to see any global redaction campaign because a team name changed. Heck, new merchandise is still produced and sold for loads of defunct teams/team names.
