Listening to the Alumni clip on the WFT name search site sure makes it sound like they are gonna keep washington football team. Such a stupid thing if they do. Doug Williams parricularly doing his best suck up to the name, probably why he was kept around...

Doug Williams is a legend here and I don't want to sound like I'm disrespecting him, but nothing he has said or done anywhere over the years has made me feel that he is anything other than just a corporate suck up.

Doc walker likes the name .. Burgundy & Gold , The best College team for a while goes by the name Crimson tide , uses a elephant for mascot.. plain helmet with number .. The BRAND is what the team makes it .. you lose and people say it sucks .. you Win and the name becomes part of it I personally do not want another generic name to replace what we had .. red tails, red wolves , all those names are just that .. Washington Football is what I like .. no need to say team .. they Could be also referred to as Burgundy & Gold .

Doesn’t matter to me. I stocked up on Redskins gear and they will always be the Redskins to me. I knew several Native Americans who are fans of the team because of the Redskins name and logo and I promised them I would always wear Redskins gear and I intend to do so.

I think they’ll keep it Washington FT as well, everything is branded already so I don’t see a big change coming

You don't want a generic name - but you like Washington Football?? That is as generic and bland as you could get.

Well actually if you read the timeline (https://www.washingtonjourney.com/timeline/) they put on the journey website, which is in line with the process (https://t.co/iBE5xkaD1V?amp=1) Jason Wright revealed during the season, I really don't think there's that big of a chance it stays WFT.
They highlighted so many times the fact they gonna value fan input and they wanted to pick a name that last at least a century, I have a hard time going "meeeh we don't feel like rebranding after all...".
Just read the last part of the timeline:
"Finally, we put our game plan into action—by unveiling and launching our new identity for the fans, the players, and the future. This will kick off the next century of Washington Football."

Names like Redwolves or Wolves in general are probably out IMO. Warriors would have a shot but I have really grown into the WFT movement. It’s clean and nobody else uses it

If they are going to name it something like that , you would see the team slowly transitioning to it. The fact that they have branded the WFT logo now on all merchandise and at the facility itself seems like they are going to be keeping that logo for good.

Doing it like you said, slow transformation style means less revenue for the year.
