Come up with a new name for the Redskins

I find it awfully hard to believe club wasn't also on the table when the change to football team was made.

Sure they can.

The announcement said there are going to be blogs and other announcements that keep fans in the loop as to how the new name was determined.

Knowing how this f'd-up organization operates and with all the chaos and urgency of getting rid of Redskins I can easily see WFC never occurring to them. Plus people are in the mindset of NFL organizations being teams not clubs. As a previous post says, I also think they have already decided on a name, logo, uniforms, etc. but the process of trademarks and league approvals takes time and they definitely want to have all their ducks in a row.

This is all a moot point, they just lost out on getting WFT trademarked so I don't see how an equally generic name of club is somehow going to fly.

We can say for sure it's not going to be Redskins, Warriors, Team, or Club.

We can say for sure its not the first or second names listed.

You cant tell me Real Madrid Football Club, Liverpool Football Club, etc. aren't trademarked and they're no less generic than WFC. I got the impression from the Sports Junkies this morning that the problem was with how the trademark application was filed. The Sports Junkies were saying how when they went to trademark "The Sports Junkies" the application was kicked back as too generic so their trademark attorney tightened it up (I'm not sure what that really means and they didn't get specific) and they got their trademark. I can easily see Washington doing the same thing.

Look at LFC logo and its an elaborate shield, I suspect for Washington to get something like WFC or WFT trademarked they'd have to make their logo more specific than a gold W. I don't know why they cant just call themselves Washington Football and forget the Team or Club.

In the end I don't think they will go with Team or Club, they will pick some stupid name which everyone will find laughable.

Yop.

Again, to me arguing about such a subjective thing as a name is kinda useless, all we can do is voice our opinions, and try to understand their process, with the elements they're giving us.

And for many reasons, WFT/C just doesn't fit their process.
