So when they talk about the team values and traits or what the team stands that is where the authentic part comes in. They used terms like nobility, pride, grit, resilience, something deep and meaningful. The wolf as a spirit animal lists most if not all of those characteristics.

Interestingly, I rewatched all three making the brand videos, and the first one ended with them asking kids if it should be an animal and all but 2 raised their hands to say it should.

No one piece in these videos prove it will be Wolves, but so far, watching all 3 I see a very strong marketing method leading to the Wolves.
for like nobility pride,being noble, having pride, caring empathy relentlessness, tradition, strong passion, unified around something deep and meaningful (wolves have
resilince grit tradition nobility should allow that spirit to continue.

The national zoo? lol come on man that's really a reach

Something authentic to the area doesn't seem all that difficult to interpret to me. It's going to be something that ties in specifically with the area. I know you want it to be wolves and that's fine, but you seem to be stretching things quite a bit to fit what you want.

the National Zoo might be stretching it, but being authentic doesn't mean a specific tie or link. It means capturing the values and traits of the area. For that Wolves works fine.

I definitely do want Wolves, I also think Wolves, Commanders and WFT are the 3 in competition, and I would be good with Wolves or Commanders, and would hold my nose for a while but ultimately accept WFT.

I just hope they pick something better than Guardians, RedTails, RedHogs, or Monuments

I'd rather have Wolves over Commanders, that is just corny IMO. Plus a Wolf is bad ass, BUT... If they are really going with a D.C Theme then Wolves is out
