JTJet Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 From the press release: “On July 3rd, we announced the commencement of a thorough review of the team’s name. That review has begun in earnest. As part of this process, we want to keep our sponsors, fans and community apprised of our thinking as we go forward" Notice the order of concern? I have zero doubt that is Snyder letting his thoughts be known. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m derived from the Sheehan clan of County Cork, IRL. My great-great grandfather came to America in 1916. County Cork was famously invaded throughout the centuries by the Moors, Vikings, Greeks, and even the French, which explains our burly physiques, native excellence in love-making, and relatively huge dicks.

Vudu Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 It’s pathetic that Snyder didn’t give a sh*t about the outrage his team name caused for decades until Nike and fedex threatened his bottom line... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their tears are delicious Certainly catnip for sports journalists. What will be interesting is the reaction when Snyder uses this as leverage (Already is I’d bet and could have been in on this change this go around)for not spending a dime on a new stadium and getting the next Super Bowl available. They are sitting on the name right now too. My guess is until they get approval on the stadium and big game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warfish Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I 100% support this change. "Slippery Slope!" and "What's Next?" and "What about...?" arguments against it are just the weakest and dumbest defenses of abject racism IMO. Teams should not be named after ethnic groups and logos shouldn't be outdated racist caricatures of those ethnic groups. No matter how much the intent is to "honor" them. Most of "them" don't want it. Washington comes up with a decent logo and name, and I'll very likely start watching their games and rooting for them (after 30+ years of refusing to do so living down here) alongside our Jets. No harm in rooting for an NFL team on the side. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FedEx wasn’t removing signage until after this season though, so my guess is they’ll play out this season as “Washington” in their old threads. Once the RFK site is finalized, likely in partnership with FedEx we’ll see a massive rollout with the new brand etc. And then a Super Bowl announcement at some point.

THE BARON Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 3 hours ago, Butterfield said: Will be redwolves, redtails or redhawks. The uniforms won’t change. The Helmet logo will be a very similar circle. Redtails makes little sense geographically speaking. The Redtails (P-51 Mustangs with the tails painted red) are associated with Tuskegee Alabama where their training took place. It would be a great name for an expansion team in Alabama, but not for the DC area... I still like my idea best. A total remake. Washington DC Federals. Union Blue jerseys, light blue pants with dark blue stripe. Union blue helmet with two gold stipes that are outlined by thin light blue strips and gold helmet logo of crossed sabers or a civil war cannon or the Union Eagle emblem in gold. What could be more fitting ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
