Guardians brings up Guardians of the galaxy, Sentinels has some merit, but wolves hit every key concept of a football team on the field.
I agree with almost all of this. A pack of wolves descending on prey is a great image and goes so well with football. I'm not sure that wolves are natural enemies to giants though. The Washington Bean Growers, now that would amplify the hostility between New York and Washington.

I think images of a pack of wolves taking down giants is tremendous imagery.

For anyone that is hoping they pull a name out of thin air, that would be a huge disrespect to the fan input that they supposedly wanted.

This, I think at this point, on top of wanting to make it right, they are taking time so most people will accept that Redskins is gone, then actually start wanting a new name, and most of them will be glad one is finally picked, even if they're not fans of the final choice. I think Jason's team is being very smart with the whole process AND how they communicate about it.
Any Redwolves/Wolves option has my clear cut preference, and I think pleasing a vast majority of the fan base would be smart marketing choice, so there are reasons to be hopeful IMO.

Redwolves has an edge as it comes to connecting to the past, (ie keeping HTTR and the fight song, and simply having part of the former name in the new one), and Redwolves are actually originally from the area (ok not only from DC, but which animal comes from only one city ?).

Wolves has an edge as it's more simple, and some people hate the former but are ok with the later. Wolves of Washington just sounds good, the W stands for both.

Good with both.

Your statement is impressive for its logic and brevity.

Sign me up for Redwolves. HTTR.

WFT wants nothing to do with anything that could be remotely related to Redskins and as tenuous as Redwolves sounds, trolls will find a way to make something bad out of using "red" in the name. That's why WFT wont choose it or anything with "red" in the name. They might pick Wolves but it wont be Redwolves. And the days of singing HTTR, in whatever form, are over. The connection to the past will be through the colors, not the name.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins

Indians fans said the team never even mentioned Guardians... I wonder if Washington will do the same

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins

In honor of the terrible name selected by Cleveland, I would like to get out front of our own equally bad, or worse new moniker.

I nominate the Washington SwampDonkeys for your consideration.

Before you immediately dismiss this idea as a jest, I would like to point out the apropos nature of the name, and it’s non partisan political nature, as SwampDonkeys of every color and stripe reside and indeed work their grift in the DMV.

Lastly for your consideration, we can keep our beloved touchdown song with the most minimal of lyrical changes.
🎵 Hail to the SwampDonkeys!
🎵 Heehaw victory!
🎵 Donkeys on the warpath!
🎵 Grifting our money!

Thanks in advance for your careful consideration, and have a great weekend before TRAINING CAMP!

The Cleveland logo is really bad , the one with the wings. Literally a child could have drawn that.
