Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

[quote=MTK;1289205]To me it looks like a generic logo from Madden when you move your franchise to another city. But either way I think a NFL team should do better.[/quote]

Like a plain blue star or the letter G or the letters NY? Now that's generic.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

The thing about a logo is you want it to stick out, like the Redskins logo did, Dallas , GB Etc. When you saw our old logo, everyone knew who it was. I'm talking about the avg sports fan that doesn't watch football 24/7

Sorry but this will always be a top 10 LOGO in any sport

Everyone knows those logos because they've been around forever.

You're really comparing iconic logos like the Cowboys or Packers to that San Antonio one lol? If you like it that's great, personally I hope ours ends up looking better than that.

Yeah but even the younger generation knows the cowboys star..

As I think about it they are iconic because they are generic. When it comes to a logo generic and plain is better. The problem with the SA logo isn't that its generic, the problem is its too busy. There's too much going on and the logo looks "forced".

Of course they do, its been around for decades.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

I was thinking about this last night, ultimately what's more important the new name or the new logo?

Seems to me a cool new name could be ruined by a shitty logo. But a lame name could be saved by a really cool logo.

Hopefully they'll hit a HR with both, but if you could only have one what would you want? A great name or a great logo?

"Go Team" isn't as powerful as "go pack go".
Likewise a cluttered logo (like the San Antonio one) doesn't build that deep link, to many strings pulled at once without a real focal point.

I don't know if I could say the logo matters more than the name, because the name determines a lot of what the logo and team identity can be.

What I can say though is that a very good logo would help me get on board with a name I don't like.

That's what I'm thinking with a rather bland possibility like Commanders. A killer logo would bring it all together.

Like putting makeup on a pig. There is no reason the name AND logo shouldn't be a winner. Especially if they have devoted the time, energy and money to the selection as they imply they have.

I'm just saying that no matter what the name is, there will be people that won't like it. One person's clean and simple is another's generic and boring. So for those that don't like the name maybe the logo saves it from being a total fail for them.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

No matter what the decision is, there will be those who like the name and not the logo. There will be those who will like the logo and not the name. There will be those that love both, and those that hate both.

At this point - que sera, sera.

Just [B]tell us[/B] what - it - will - be already...

With Redwolves or Redanything, they could use the old "R" logo from the Lombardi/early- Allen era. Switch the feather to a wolf's tail. Or use the scripted "R" made famous by Joe Gibbs.

Commanders sounds like an arena football team.

Those who are indifferent to the name, but hate Dan Snyder.

Early 2022 is when it'll be. Be ready for some teasing up until then.

I think, minus Tanya's "8 name list that wasn't a final 8 list but maybe it was but no it was just something people made up from the names mentioned in the twitter video" snaffu, they are being quite smart with the whole thing.

I already get the feeling that some people who were in the "if they change the name I'm out" camp moved to "jeez pick a name already"...

Bottom right really looks like the Saints. Top right - how long before they start calling us the Washington Pot-Bellied Pigs? Bottom left - Washington Average Joe's (if you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a football). So I guess it's Washington Redwolves

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins

I think it is clear that redwolves , Commanders and one other are the final 3. Unless they do any more reveals we just have to wait.

That logo looks like a stage boss that Sonic would fight.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

At this point the goal is that hopefully at least 51% of people like the name and logo.

Because no matter what they choose, there is going to be wailing and gnashing of the teeth from a large segment.

Please at least nail 1 of the 2!!

There's absolutely zero percent chance this would be the logo.

Not even sure that 4 names list is legit, no source, just "reportedly", good click bait IMO.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

LMAO I Hope its not just those 4 but if so I want Red wolves or Hogs..

Armada is fucking terrible

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

its going be Red Wolves, its the one name that keeps popping up.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

Yea the Armada is bad … seems like throwing in the bad names will entice the fan base to embrace the RedWolves.. that is way better than some of the other names ..
