The WM Band uniform coats do resemble Confederate ones.

Why do they want their teams to be named after losers?

I hope they keep the name. It's pretty cool to see all the confederate flags flying on Fridays.

I thought they were named after the rebels that fought against the British in 1776.

You don’t see them anymore. None in the stadium, and few of any in truck parades pregame. The band still playS Dixie though. Probably not much longer.

Why don’t they just ignore the “backlash”? What’s the worst that could happen?

The confederacy was just like blm and antifa today, fighting the literal republican facists that were systematically oppressing them

I like soldiers who weren't killed or captured in battle. Rebels is actually a really pussy name.

I admire their passion to fight for it, but it's probably over.

Donate to their likely soon-to-be launched GoFundMe: WOULD/[WOULD NOT]

Whether one likes the name or not I’m honestly surprised they have been able to hold on to that name this long.

They should change their mascot to the “syringes” out of a tribute to their football teams in the 90’s and 00’s.

I’m starting a petition to rename West Monroe to the Federals. Before each game, they will burn a rebel flag. The banner they run through each game will be a banner of Atlanta, with each week a General Sherman (top player of the week) will rip through the Atlanta banner with his Union troops behind him.

ETA: West Monroe is essentially the north. No reason they pretend to be rebels anymore.
