Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins

SkinsfaninOK is that official? Can't find it on the WFT site. Those 8 are the ones that were in the brand video so it's possible someone just assumes that?

It was on CBS Twitter

I think it's just someone's best guess list and it's probably not far off, but there's no chance it's official or 100% accurate.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins

WFT - just keep it.

If not, then Redwolves or Wolves. I'm just ready for a decision. I'm not bailing either way so it doesn't really matter.

Well, I might if it's the Presidents...that's just dumb.

Defenders is already taken. It's DC's XFL team. WFT has to know that. Looking at that list of ridiculous names keeping WFT looks like the choice.

I think that list may be a red herring.

It is not. Other sources put the final 3 to Redtails, Commanders, Redwolves.

If those are the 3, then my preference is
RedWolves
Commanders
RedTails

- The team also has made a point that the name should not be DC specific, instead being a rally name for Md, DC, an VA. There doesn't need to be a link to the area, just a brand that anyone regardless of politics can support.

- Red in the name is not a must, and shouldn't be contrived (like RedHogs) but RedWolves and Redtails both have valid historical references. Nothing wrong with keeping it in that case.

Exactly. Red was not the problem it was Skins. When you put those two together anyway. If our name had beem the Reds or the Skins it would still be that.
It also in no way has to be DC specific. As I just said Redskins wasn’t DC specific. Along with a laundry list of other pro sports teams names. Commanders and Defenders sounds like DC comics. We were killing the Cleveland Guardians now we want the DC Defenders? Yuck.

Agree. I cant believe WFT would even consider using those names.

Just to be clear, because everyone keeps asking, we are down to and working through a final three but this is no form of final 8 list. These are just a selection of names that happened to show up in the video our team produced.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins

It doesn’t matter if the name has any connection to the area. Plenty of others that don’t. Some do and some do not.
Pittsburgh Penguins
Detroit Redwings
St Louis/Arizona Cardinals
Chicago Bears
Those are just off the top of my head.
I mean really look no further than the Washington Redskins -

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins

As I understand it the list of 8 names shown was the one WFT asked fans to vote on. There has been a WFT source/video that says they are down to three names. I think that CBS have drawn the conclusion that the three names are necessarily on the 8 name list. That may not be the case. The 8 name list was not specified as the final 8 names, in part I think it was to gauge interest in keeping the WFT name which has since been ruled out so obviously the response was mixed.
