If you watch it the bleeps are like a TV show that bleeps out certain parts in an advertisement to build curiosity and interest.

Glad I didn't watch that. That's cold blooded. Not necessarily in a negative way, but there are a million + fans affected by this.

Maybe. I thought it was cool to see them discussing it and particularly Rivera's reactions, not that we know which ones he was reacting to.

No press conf. A social network video. No "final 3 names". Just 3 names that Jason Wright, Ron Rivera and Martin Mayhew talked about together.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins

Gotcha ! Thanks for the explanation! I did some research on the red wolf .. apparently they only live in eastern North Carolina .. not sure how that ties in with this team … wolves without the Red in the name makes more sense to me … Washington Wolves … we maybe totally surprised at what it actually ends up … I still think it could be a nod to the military or a patriotic theme…

Interestingly enough, the red wolf used to roam from Texas to New York. It is now an endangered species in need of a major awareness campaign. Imagine if Washington encouraged high schools that were Redskins to also change, and then launched an effort with the national zoo (in DC) donating an area in the zoo for endangered wolves. HUGE opportunities to generate brand marketing, a sympathetic fan base, and build cross connections in DC, and VA. Also remember before the Panthers, NC was considered Redskins country.

Yop, Redwolf is an American endemic Wolf that used to roam the area. It'd actually be hard to find another badass animal which was never found outside this area...
Anyway, beside Monument (which is boring AF if you ask me), what name has a specific connection to DC and DC only ?
And yes, that's including Redskins, it's not like NA where only from DC in the first place... So this "no link to the town" argument is weak IMO.

Yeah. I really hate the idea the name has to be linked to the town directly.

I just want the team name to end with a "S". I'm already a Thunder fan in basketball, I can't handle 2 weird names.

Note - I was originally a Supersonics fan, which is the best name in sports history. But I am not from Seattle, so I didn't care when they moved. So I've been a Thunder fan since the move. I actually like that name OK(C), but still don't want 2 favorite teams with weird names.

Oh, if they go this route, it definitely needs to be Rewolves, plural. I was just talking about the actual animal ;-)

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins

It hasnt been shown in any video, but they had Commanders in this one (dumb) but what about Washington Commandos. Riggins in fatigues comes to mind.

Personally I doubt it is that militaristic but I think it would be a Snyder favorite.

I actually don't mind Comnanders. Not my preference, but I like it better than most.

Every name, besides the Wolves (because that's my favorite), will initially be disappointing.

Some names will take a lot longer to get over than others. I'm personally glad Warriors is gone. I hate the Warriors basketball team and don't want a common name altogether. But any name that isn't the Wolves (I like Redwolves too, but keeping "red" in the name will come off as a fake change), will be on a sliding scale of disappointment for me.

Commandos? We’d need to have Schwarzenegger as our mascot. Would be hilarious.

Based on the latest social network video that's not crazy to think, but the short list could be wider than that, no official word on this matter yet.
