The Red____s are my favorite. It is not desperately holding on. It is continuity with respect to tradition. How is that desperate?
St Johns and the aforementioned Miami University did the same thing. Redmen to Red Storm; Redskins to Redhawks. Nobody termed that desperate- they called it
clever and
pragmatic.
But, to answer your question: I could have lived with Warriors and I could live with Hogs. And I could live with WFT. There it is.
One more time for 2021: If you ditch all connections to the past, you are left with a brand new team that automatically disdains its own history.
And all you have left is .... Snyder.
Think about it. Rather grim, eh?
Happy New Year and HTTR.
