Come up with a new name for the Redskins

I'm pretty sure Redwolves is out because of legal issues with the trademark, not because of a Twitter rumor.

I don't buy the trademark issues. Not saying it will be redwoods, but if the team can't overcome a trademark then all the names are pretty much trashed. This is a once in a century option - like a franchise qb if you find the one you want you pull out all the stops to get him. Haven't we proven we know how to do that!

Think Arkansas State is already using Red Wolves? Why would they want to let a pro team use it?

Because a pro team promised cash/ name recognition/came to a legal settlement quietly. Also the trademark would be Washington RedWolves. The Giants in SF can't stop the New York Giants.

I am not saying it wouldn't be a hurdle, but definitely not insurmountable if you have the legal and financial resources and the resolve to pursue it.

The two Giants teams were once both located in the NYC and at the Polo Grounds. Using the same name was intentional- much like the old Boston Braves football and baseball teams which became Washington Redskins and Milwaukee/Atlanta Braves respectively. Bears/Cubs in Chicago and Lions/Tigers in Detroit would be two slightly different examples.

But you are correct that it is doable. The Miami University of Ohio Redskins never irked the Washington Redskins. They became the Redhawks and I read they stated we are welcome to adopt that name as well.

Perhaps it would be prudent to take them up on it. Unless we all want to stupidly follow Daniel Snyder into Commanders oblivion,

There are trademark issues with Redwolves, but the twitter rumor is that somebody heard it's completely out.

I read an article the other day, trademark rules are way more complicated as people think, IE there's a notion of does the consumer make a confusion between the 2 brands. Which definitely wouldn't be the case between an NFL team located in DC and a college team in Arkansas.

Not an expert, but from what I understood there's nothing there that a multi billions dollars franchise couldn't hurdle.
