Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins

I've said it before the no name thing is cool but I think they should follow the Olympics example and be called "Team Washington" In football conversations there is no need to call them "Football Team"

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins

I think Redwolves or just Wolves. Possibly Red Hawks. Warriors would be alright but the logo could not be indian related.....

Not of fan of the other ones.

Braves would have been good - original team name - but no way they use that

How about REDSKINS!! Fuck the PC crowd. That’s the only team name I know.

Redwolves or just Wolves is my favorite and seems to be leading online polls and comments section.
Jason Wright clearly hinted multiple times at the fact he's hearing the howls. He also clearly stated it's gonna be a long process and we may very well still be the WFT next year.

I really like his forwardness regarding the renaming process, and I also like that they're taking time to study all options and listen to fans' voices.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins

Redwolves is okay ...” Team Washington “ain’t bad , we allready know the team is playing football .. if they are going with Redwolves or one of those type names then do it now ... no need to drag this out for another year and come out with that .. I understand if they are gonna go in a entire different direction ( change colors etc) then waiting to get it right is cool .. but imagine all this hype and build up and waiting a year to announce .... are you ready ... redwolves..

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins

I'm ok with them taking their time. They've been the Redskins for 87 years, so this is a big deal. 100% will not like the new name, no matter what it is, but I like that they are putting in the time to try to "get it right."

Not sure about that. The fact Jason Wright detailed the renaming process and explained why it'll take time makes me believe him when he says WFT is about wisely not rushing things and making sure to pick a name that can last over a century.

Now, of course there's a chance it stays WFT, but that's far from a lock IMO.

Agreed and there's also the publicity and financial benefits of changing it. Merchandising etc. I wouldn't be surprised that this year has seen a dip, if only comparative, in merchandise sales. And relaunching the team name on the back of the current surge on the field can't be underestimated.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins

I think the intent on the team's side is to maintain that connection to the past. If you go with Red Wolves for example, it's an entirely new identity. If Snyder was pushed out, who knows, maybe a new owner would want to start fresh with a new identity. As for now though, I think WFT is the odds on favorite to stay in place.
