my school used to be the Redskins. the reason why that name had been choses was because the land the school is on was bought from the Miami Indian tribes and they picked that name together. during the 90's, the school got a lot of heat from people saying that the use of the Redskins wasn't PC and that they should change it. after a lot of debate, in 96 or 97, they changed that nickname to the Redhawks, amidst much protest from students, alumni, and staff. i think that the bookstores loved it though, because my siter, myself, and the majority of the miami students and alumni all have shirts now that say "I am and always will be a Redskin".
