Native Americans weren't real big on wearing heavy clothes except in the cold, cold winter. And Buckskin is hard to make and a little on the weighty side. But it's good stuff. Probably the best of all leathers.
What they did was use grease (bear, goose, whatever) and smeared it all over themselves. It keeps you warm, protects you from bugs and is surprisingly efficient in the rain.
Then they took to coloring it. Blue, Green, White, Black -- Whatever. Then they took to using different colors to mean different things. They might paint themselves one color or a combination thereof for when they're hunting, another for a wedding, another for a pow-wow but the one color they ALL had in common was they used Red for when they were on the Warpath.....
Deerslayer pops into town for a beer, Townspeople ask, "Hey, Deerslayer, what's happening?" Deerslayer says, "Not a whole lot but I did see some Iroquis all painted up in Red out East." Townspeople, "Yeah, that's bad news. When they do that, they're looking for trouble." Deerslayer, "Yep, those Redskins are bad news. Better steer clear of them. I saw them out by the River. Be warned."
Football Teams like to give themselves names that reflect fierceness -- Lions, Bears. Bengals, etc. Washington called itself Redskins because Native Americans in Red Paint were to be feared. Don't mess with them.
Redskins. Get it?
