A few months ago you were using black magic to try to set Tua upon us and now you're using it for the lame Warriors name.

Washington Redwolves is like breaking up with a girl and dating her twin sister.
It's convenient, I guess.

I hope they keep the colors and change everything else for a fresh start.
No red, no spears, and no god damn feathers.

NEW: Dan Snyder once pursued a trademark for the Washington Warriors, a case which reopened in 2019. The case was abandoned in 2020, significant as the Redskins now look for a new name:

Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

RED WOLVES - best name to date. Fred smoot is right. No other wolf teams in the NFL. Goes into HTTR with a few word changes.

All the NA names or ideas are out. That includes WARRIOR, which may be too related to the current name. 15 NA tribes yesterday told the NFL they don’t like REDSKINS brand. Call that the VERY LAST NAIL in this franchises name.

I think that with the Preseason coming they will just go with a plain B & G helmet.

Snyder has two choices:

1. make a name change QUICKLY, before the PS. If he screws it up, he may have to change it if there is a big backlash. Rebranding takes time, which Snyder does not have.

2. Go with a generic name to get through the season. Like the Washington Skins or Washington Football Team or something like that. Just a hold over name. Then make a real decision after the season.

Snyder may want to return from Europe where he has sent the Pandemic. Events are accelerating and he’s got to make some decisions about the name change now before his enemies rise against him.

A (hopefully one fay) full stadium howling before kickoff or after a TD or on 3rd down is exciting.

Figure out a badass logo.

Johnathan Allen wants the Redwolves name too he said "We could call the stadium the Wolf den and howl after every big play"

I agree, it's the best of the bunch for sure

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

Redwolves, Redtails, Idk.. I just feel more apathetic. I really hope these guys start winning. A name change and another bad season may be it for a lot of us. Especially the older fans like myself. It's been about 45 years for me personality and I just feel numb and unattached. There is no way I'm buying anything with Redwolves or Retails on it. I'll never do it. Ever.

Honestly it took me some time (and I'm not quite there yet) to accept the name is going away, the logo is going away, any NA reference is going away, fight song is probably going away too. There's a strong affective link which doesn't die in a couple of days.

But what I love with Redwolves is what it offers from a fan perspective. Be a part of the Pack. Go to the Den. Howl.
I need shit like that to project myself as a fan of this team with a new name.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

^ What you guys are feeling is the same way I am.. When I first heard the name was changing, I'll be honest and say I was about to say f them and root for another team. I'm giving Dan a chance to fix it in the right way, Redwolves or Warriors are decent options depending on what Logo's they use. If it's some corny bullshit I may just find another team to root for.. The Redskins were my team because of the name and history, I also grew up with Dallas fans all around me and I hated them so that rivalry was amazing. Now that will be gone no matter what we all say, the Redskins-Cowboys rivalry is dead. Also I'm not from DC or Maryland / VA , so really I have no ties to the team in that manner.

Redwolves = I'll stick around
Warriors = Maybe
Redtails = I'm out
Redhawks = 50/50

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

I grew up in the DC burbs and the Redskins is all I know and is all I will ever know. That stuff Allen is talking, the wolf den and people howling, I just will never do that nonsense. The song HTTR is in my blood. We go from that to howling like Wolves? No way in hell.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

The only name up there that makes any damn sense is Warriors. The rest of them are just garbage.

Change is tough my man but we all have to come to the reality that our REDSKINS are dead and gone. I hate to be so vague but we all knew eventually this time would come. HTTR for life and it'll always be a special place in my life, the skins were literally my first love, heck the R logo was my first tattoo at age 24 lol. Believe me, I feel the pain but it's kinda like losing a pet if you will.. Cherish the memories but life must go on. I'm not saying we have to like the new team, shit we can just watch football and not root for anyone.

Terry McLaurin is enough of a reason by himself to remain a fan even if our team name is changed to the Washington Fuckfaces.

A friend of mine is big on Warriors.

His idea is that during dramatic game moments, the video screen can play clips from the the movie, "The Warriors." Will not consider any other options. Loves the idea of a 3rd and short and pumping up the crowd with the Riffs guy asking, "Who are the Warriors?!?"

Maybe they can play "In the City" as fans leave the stadium.

As the team comes out of to the field, play "The Warrior" by Scandal. :D

Yeah Warriors is the easy choice but if they can't use the logo then it's pointless.

I lived in the DMV during some of my formative years and really remember two Super Bowl wins. I will root for them no matter what, I understand if you have no ties to the area moving on.

I wish they would come out with an announcement date on when they're sharing the results of the review/name change because this is no way to live.

Yeah, I jumped on the Warriors bandwagon for a couple of minutes because I could see the current fight song work with Warriors.

But as I'm accepting to let go of the current name and the imagery that goes with it... I start to realize Redwolves brings so many things to the table. Awooo.

The logo, the brand and the past is the only thing that is keeping me as a fan these days. You rip our brand, our name and logo away and it is almost dead to me. Especially if the team wins 5 or 6 games.

Also.. and this may be unpopular, but the fact that RR is one of the people who is helping Snyder with this turns me off more. He hasn't won a game, just got here and now going to have a say in something so important just rubs me the wrong way. What has he done here to deserve that?

Idk.. I just don't feel that passionate connection anymore. Maybe that will change when games start..

Can't agree more with this man, it's already hard enough accepting the teams history will be erased and for those on twitter saying "The name and logo will not erase the tradition" that's bullshit.

The Washington Redwolves are not the Redskins and they may as well be an expansion team

I often feel the same way. I don't know if I will jump ship. I watched the Skins in 5 Super Bowls. In between all of them there were tons of memories and images.

It's hard to transfer that to another team. It's also hard to accept this change. It's almost as if we are out of football.

I get it, but we're not out of football. Whatever new name our team has, it represents DC, and that won't change.

Winning on Sundays will go a long way to helping this fanbase heal too. Nationals seemed like a dumb name too, until they started winning.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

The reason I mentioned-Federals as a new name is because D.C.is the seat of the federal government or-Diplomats again Washington is about-diplomacy,all this crap about-wolves? when was the last time a wolf was seen in D.C.? hell just call em the -Werewolves,heck if you want an animal that's native to the city why not the Washington Rats..there're everywhere!!

I wouldn't if I thought there was any chance we could keep the name, or keep a NA related name and have it work out.

But I don't think there is anymore. And I'm not gonna quit football. Nor am I gonna root for another team. So I might as well get on board with what I feel is more exciting.

But I completely understand where you are. I had similar thoughts a couple of days ago.
I just need a kick of excitement to get out of this feeling that it will never be the same...

They are amazing animals. They have a few at the Francis Marion National Forest in captivity they used to breed and release in Alligator River Area. My wife took some great photos of them that I need to see if I can find.
