Initially the new team took the same name as its landlords, the [[Atlanta Braves|Boston Braves]], one of the two local baseball teams at the time. When the football team moved to [[Fenway Park]] (home of the [[Boston Red Sox]]) the next year, Marshall also changed the name of the football Braves to the "Redskins," distinguishing the team from its ex-landlords. Coincidentally or otherwise, the team's new head coach in 1933 was [[William Henry Dietz|William "Lone Star" Dietz]], who may or may not have had [[Sioux]] ancestry.
