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.[/quote]

No matter what name is selected there will be a large faction that will tash it and 5 years from now no one will give it a second thought :)

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

Wizards wish that was true.

[quote=CRedskinsRule;1286193]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.[/quote]

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.

I'd rather have Cleveland Baseball Club or Team over Guardians... CORNY

This makes it a little better I guess. The statues are definitely cool. Had no idea and I’ve been to Cleveland a couple times. Lol. How the fuck did i miss them?

Cleveland Queens has a nice ring to it.

Cleveland Nancy-Boys is good too.

I think Knickerbocker came to mean a an old time New Yorker who could trace his roots to the original Dutch.

It also inspired a beer that my uncle used to drink back in the day.
