If DC gets a team, they should be called the Sentinels and wear white with purple and gold to honor the Suffragettes.
- Suffragettes were the first group to picket outside the White House calling President Wilson out by name for not supporting women's suffrage. They wore white with gold and purple sashes which became the symbol of the movement. (Harris wore white when sworn in as the first woman VP to honor suffragettes)
- The women who picketed the White House were known as the Silent Sentinels and were regularly arrested for civil disobedience and were beaten in jail by male prison guards but persisted on until they convinced President Wilson to support the 19th Amendment.
- I can't think of anything more perfect than a team that honors the women who came before us and fought for what we have now. Imagine all white uniforms with Purple and Gold trim. It would be amazing.
Their logo could be a variation of the official flag of the 19th amendment.
