Defenders is already taken. It's DC's XFL team. WFT has to know that. Looking at that list of ridiculous names keeping WFT looks like the choice.

I think that list may be a red herring.

Washington Red Herrings?

It is not. Other sources put the final 3 to Redtails, Commanders, Redwolves.

If those are the 3, then my preference is
RedWolves
Commanders
RedTails

- The team also has made a point that the name should not be DC specific, instead being a rally name for Md, DC, an VA. There doesn't need to be a link to the area, just a brand that anyone regardless of politics can support.

- Red in the name is not a must, and shouldn't be contrived (like RedHogs) but RedWolves and Redtails both have valid historical references. Nothing wrong with keeping it in that case.

Exactly. Red was not the problem it was Skins. When you put those two together anyway. If our name had beem the Reds or the Skins it would still be that.
It also in no way has to be DC specific. As I just said Redskins wasn’t DC specific. Along with a laundry list of other pro sports teams names. Commanders and Defenders sounds like DC comics. We were killing the Cleveland Guardians now we want the DC Defenders? Yuck.

Agree. I cant believe WFT would even consider using those names.

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.

Good, because that list of 8 that was floating around was trash
