After that video sparked so much speculation, it will be interesting to see how much energy they spend on it once the season begins. Hopefully with the team in the playoff hunt, the need to push this information out will be minimal.

Final pitch for Wolves (for the moment) imagine the imagery around Wolves in the playoff Hunt.

Just so easy to do great (non-offensive) marketing/imagery with Wolves.

The Indians fans were mostly blindsided by "Guardians" so we'll see what WFT comes up with

But the Cleveland FO didn't make a media event around the whole process or show clips of fans looking and reacting to certain ideas. The WFT has made it a point of emphasis to say that they are being as open and transparent as possible.

Redhog just seems a little clumsy and forced

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins

Someone else said it but I don't think RED will be in the name at all ,.....I'm sticking with the Washington Sentinels .

Just so long as we get Falco and not Flacco. And maybe the cheerleaders from the movie too.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins

So Jason Wright tweeted this AM that the 8 names that were on the jumbotron at FedEx are not necessarily the final list of 8 contenders.

"Just to be clear, because everyone keeps asking, we are down to and working through a final three but this is no form of final 8 list. These are just a selection of names that happened to show up in the video our team produced."

So the name may not be any of these (which is a relief, as most are shite). I still think it will be Wolves or Redwolves, and I am cool with that.

When I hear the word trash I always now associate with bad. My son is 13 everything is “trash” that he doesn’t like.

I thought it was your way of saying my joking suggestion was trash/ bad.

The English language it’s beautiful.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins

Without even knowing for sure what the final names under consideration are, I think a lot of people are setting themselves up to be disappointed.

Not directly related to your post. I am curious how everyone feels about their Making the Brand videos. I have said that I see it as a positive if they are trying to guide and lay out a level of expectation and anticipation for the new name. So when I see Wolves themes with positive messaging repeated, or say Commanders or WFT both of which also have had some clear positive messages in these videos, then when the name is announced I have a level of "OK, That makes sense". But if they pull some name and logo like the DMV Dumbasses or Washington Whoseewhatsits, then to me they would have been better off just staying tight lipped and announcing it in one big reveal after the Superbowl

So, my question is, at the midpoint of the renaming journey, how does everyone feel that the WFT has done with the media aspect of it?
