Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

[quote=MTK;1285874]Anything with red in it will likely be avoided considering we've already tiptoed away from warriors. I'm just tired of all this (hyper) sensitivity. I was just kidding about avoiding wolves due to it being tied to NA's but I'm sure someone out there will have their panties in a bunch over it.[/quote]

These day people bitch about literally anything.

"I would say that we're definitely not orienting around a hashtag," Wright said. "We're not trying to work something backwards into something that starts with 'R' or anything like that."

As Wright and the team continue to get closer to picking a name, the team president promises to continue being transparent along the way.

"We'll let you know as things progress, where there are hard lines and where we've put hard lines in place," Wright said. "We'll be clear"

[quote=MTK;1285863]So should we believe arrows is being seriously considered too?[/quote]

No, as I said, Arrows and Redspears are out for same reason Warriors is. This video was the one announcing Warriors was out because of NA imagery, so you know these two are out too.

This poster is fucking awesome. I don't care what anyone says.

Every name is going to sound weird for the 1st year.

This is the name for me (already was my favorite choice).

My simple point was I wouldn't draw any hard conclusions from those pictures.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

If it's down to WFT vs Washington Wolves I'd prefer FT but I won't hate Wolves.

I think it's very possible the new name is something not really on the radar.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

[QUOTE=MTK;1285894]My simple point was I wouldn't draw any hard conclusions from those pictures.[/QUOTE]Oh no as I said it's a Twitter video, not a team statement. Trying not to overread, but those are signals consciously sent out there. And they wouldn't be sending those messages without any reason.

But yeah, maybe the name is something not in this video nor any other team social media post... I still think after all the emphasis about the process, the website the journey, fans inclusion and so on, picking a name that didn't get significant support in the fan base would be surprising to say the least...

Anyway, I've made no mystery I've been a supporter of Redwolves/Wolves since the beginning, and I just think we have a lot of elements suggesting it's at the very least in the mix.

Not a fan. That's the way the world is going now though.

I will chill on the name as long as it is a winner. If the new name is synonymous with losing it won't matter what the name is.

Perfect match to what? The colors, maybe, the city? No So many other opportunities to rep the city better than an animal that is not indigenous. With all the history in that city there are far better options.

Cleveland naming the team the Guardians is a name that was off the radar for them. The Spiders and Blues has been thrown around for the last year and they picked a name off the radar, my hope is that is what happens here.

Now that Cleveland took the name .. I kinda like the Washington Guardians ..

what about the Washington Commandos

Washington Ballers

Washington Fury

Washington ... capitals, nationals, defenders, senators and generals are all taken and those seem like the best options

Washington Reps

Washington Reapers

... so hard

I don’t really care if it is symbolic of the city. Chicago Bears is pretty iconic no?
I just want it to sound cool, and i want to hear howling everytime we get a first down. I swear if they are the Washington monuments or senators im done. Lol.

What does Redwings have to do with Detroit? Nothing. Iconic though.

Exactly. And Redskins had nothing to do with the city, it was iconic because it was iconic. Sports teams use animals to represent the ferocity and the mentality of the sports team. Wolves is so natural to football, I just don't get the disdain and angst over it at all.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

I am sure I have said this before, but Wolves are natural enemies to Eagles, Cowboys and Giants. The images of opposing qbs pounced on by a pack of wolves is an amazing marketing image. A running back avoiding tackles easily transfers to the image of a wolf evading an enemy. So many stunning images.
Guardians brings up Guardians of the galaxy, Sentinels has some merit, but wolves hit every key concept of a football team on the field.

1. Redwings have the wheel spoke theme to their insignia

2. The first man brave enough to earn his redwings was from Detroit.

Pack animal-play as a team

W for Wolves and Washington

W’s make great opportunities for logo design

Just seems natural and easy to me. I hope that’s how they go.

Wasn't "Redwings" the name of the bicycle club that the founder belonged to? If I remember it correctly.

I agree with almost all of this. A pack of wolves descending on prey is a great image and goes so well with football. I'm not sure that wolves are natural enemies to giants though. The Washington Bean Growers, now that would amplify the hostility between New York and Washington.

For anyone that is hoping they pull a name out of thin air, that would be a huge disrespect to the fan input that they supposedly wanted.

Probably because it is a stupid name.

The Baltimore/Washington Bullets were originally the Chicago Zephyrs. Washington Zephyrs sounds a helluva lot better than Wizards.

That's true that name does suck! I'm in NY we have the Knickerbockers, which is stupid considering they are named after a style of shorts but it sound cooler as the Knicks.
