Just not for DC. If Alabama ever gets an NFL Team, sure, rock on. Just not sure, apart from the desperation to keep the word "red" in the name, that it has any meaningful connotation/connection to D.C. And JMO, but DC Teams should names with connections to DC. It's kinda our thing, being the Capitol City and all. For example: Washington Justice. Logo: Sword and Scales of Justice. Tie In: City of the Supreme Court, Civil Rights Marches, Etc. Logo something like this: Then stupid fan sayings lake "Damn yo, he bringing the Justice to that QB!" would work, lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighPitch Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 At first, the WFT sounded dumb. I have to admit, its grown on me to the point that it should stay. But out of the list, I like the ring of washington warriors personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantasy Island Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 1 hour ago, Butterfield said: https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/washington-nfl-team-might-change-its-name-and-here-are-some-of-the-options-fans-are-being-asked-to-consider/amp/ After undergoing a name change prior to the 2020 NFL season, the Washington Football Team will be sticking with the WFT name for at least one more year, but after the 2021 season, there could potentially be another change coming. The team name could be revamped again as soon as 2022, and apparently, the organization has a quite a few options to choose from. The team sent out an email to season-ticket holders this week with the hope of getting some input on what the new name should be. In the email, each season-ticket holder was given a list of roughly 10 names and was asked to choose which two were the best. Not every season-ticket holder was given the same list and in the end, the organization sent out more than 30 names to choose from. In the email, team president Jason Wright noted that Washington will be using input from its fans to help choose the new name. "This is an ongoing, iterative process -- we've used focus groups, stakeholder interviews, large-scale surveys, and other qualitative and quantitative approaches to understand what fans want and what types of names resonate with our fans," Wright wrote, via NBC Sports Washington. "To that end, we want to ask all of YOU for your input on what kinds of names are most meaningful to you -- which concepts represent what you love about this organization and what it means to you." Wright has previously said that the team would like to have its new name in place in time for the 2022 season, which means a name change announcement will likely be coming at some point early next year. Right now, the team is trying to whittle the long list of names down and they're doing that by letting fans pick the name that they like the most. "Each of you will be shown a small selection from a broader pool of brainstormed names that we're getting early feedback on," Wright wrote. "Please note, this is not a vote for the name, but instead an opportunity to capture insights and perspective that will be so important to this next phase of our rebrand journey." Basically, the names below are ones that the team has been throwing around, and now, they want to get fan input to see which names should be considered going forward. Here's a list of names Washington fans were asked to choose from (Listed in alphabetical order): Aces Ambassadors Anchors Archers Armada Aviators Beacons Belters Brigade Commanders Defenders Demon Cats First City Football Club (FCFC) Griffins Guardians Icons Majors Monarchs Pilots Presidents Razorbacks Redtails Redwolves Red Hogs Renegades Riders Rising Royals Rubies Swifts Warriors Washington DC Football Club (DCFC) Washington Capital City Football Club (CCFC) Wayfarers Wild Hogs 32FC (W32) Football Team As you can see at the bottom of the list, the team will consider using Football Team going forward, something team president Jason Wright mentioned back in March. "There are a set of folks that have warmed to the Washington Football Team," Wright said at the time. "Some of the things that are emerging from that are the Washington Football Team has something that ties deeply to our history. As for me, I would probably vote for Presidents or Red Hogs, but I have to say, I'm sorry to see that Red Pandas didn't make the cut. Riot The Washington Riot.

Boaty McBoatface says hi. No way we let Fans decide, how do you think we ended up with the horrible Washington Wizards name.....ugh. See what I mean, when the name ties to the City, it's good and the UNis look good. Capitals, Nationals, both looks and sound good. Wizards, ugh, horror, Redskins, lol, nope. Federals, with a nice Red/White/Blue Eagle Logo would be great, got a nice ring to tit, but USFL screwed the pooch on that one I think. Sadly, Dan Snyder is a derp, and is far more likely to keep the horrid Mustard and Old Blood colors and pick a lame name like WFT than he is to go where the team representing the capitol city of the nation should go. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

football guy Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Some of these are horrifying. I can't believe they even diluted the list with some of these. Warriors, Generals, Defenders are the safest names and allows them to keep some of their intended roots when selecting Redskins... With Rivera, Chase Young, and Jamil Davis you wonder if there will be a tilt... The word "Hogs" has always bothered me (I think I'm traumatized from shooting a wild boar when I was 10 years old and watching it get gutted... that was graphic), but it goes with the fanbase nickname. Red Hogs > Wild Hogs. I'm a fan of Redtails due to the tradition and I would like it if we weren't the only team to have an aircraft as a mascot Red Wolves is pretty solid as well Everything else...
