Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
Wonder how many team names they are deciding upon?! As should be coming up with an answer there. Just find it weird to call it WFT.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
Washington Contagion
Washington Biohazard Washington Plague Washington Scourge Washington Bane With our COVID situation, any of these would fit. Sigh. I hope it's wolves, actually. I think some of the uni mockups for that have been neat, and the Commanders doesn't do it for me. Maybe it will be something totally unexpected like DC Vipers or something -- there is a military aircraft by that name. I just hope it doesn't suck.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
Is there really a team name out there that strikes fear? I feel most of us make fun of other team names. Look at the old names: Cardinals, Bears, Packers, Giants, Steelers. Do any of them generate fear? maybe Bears?
I prefer something not generic |

The problem with us is the last 30 years is really gonna erode any short-term confidence in the name - so if we come up with a weak name it's generally gonna be associated with a weak team. Don't fuck it up Dan.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
I would say 3 of the 5 teams names listed are generic. If Bears, Giants, & Cardinals aren't generic names I don't know what is. Most team names are generic.

I like ones that have some regional association- Steelers, 49ers, Packers, and Patriots fall under that category. Then there is a category that is a bit more quirky. The Browns were named after the guy who founded and coached them. Say what you will, but Ravens was a clever way to get a name that is seemingly generic and easy, but actually is named after a poem by Edgar Allen Poe. And the piece de resistance is the Cleveland/Los Angeles/St Louis/Los Angeles-again Rams who were named after the Fordham Rams, the beloved alma mater of yours truly, Redskin Fan Emeritus, Jack Lord. It is the latter category that inspires my liking of Hogs. |

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
Striking fear lol, what are we even talking about here. If some player is shaking in his boots during a game over the opponents name, that player has big problems.

Guardians sucks. Golden Knights sucks - because it has nothing to do with Vegas and everything to do with the owner having a thing for the military. Thunder sucks. Kraken is good. Commanders is just some generic uninspiring shit. Need something inspiring - that's the key, since Dan is dealing with an eroding fanbase that literally hates him for everything else. If he fucks this up it's one more notch on his bedpost of fuckups.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
So take this for what it's worth and if this has been mentioned somewhere in here before I had not seen it, but I was watching games yesterday at a bar and the new name change for Washington came up and a woman there who is an attorney in Raleigh NC area but also works up in DC at times said an attorney she works with in DC said the teams new name is going to be The Redhawks. I have not seen that name anywhere...so who knows.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
It would be nice if they could cut a deal and go with ... Nationals. Have a crossover thing going with the baseball team like there used to be in Boston and New York. Use the curly W.
Of course a deal between the Snyders and Lerners is about as likely as one between Iran and Israel. |

Unfortunately like Nationals that would require a color change to red, white, blue and that's not happening. |
