I really only heard Harrisburg PA ever called that.

The Washington Bullets were called the Capital Bullets when they first moved to Washington in 73-74.

I like Bullets but wish when rebranding had chosen something of cultural significance to the region.

I don't see any way they change it now, even if they "Picked one" it would piss off so many other fans... They will keep it WFT

Honestly nothing will replace Redskins... Redwolves, Warriors , Wolves etc are all dumb.

The Washington Football Team is clean and timeless, put the W on the helmet and call it done.

The more time that passes, the more I like this identity...it feels like the Redskins can live on like this. It's almost like a permanent throwback identity and uniform.

We just need to design some classic-looking uniforms to go with it...I vote for the 1932s WITH leather helmets.

I'm in favor for the uniform, it is my favorite one.

If you were going to go lame, like most of those names, go Washington Whigs and hand out colonial wigs at games. LOL. :-(

Ahh, found more! Red Hogs makes an apperance.




The 32 FCs.

Demon Cats!

Anchors!



And according to this tweet, there's a 4th survey out there including:

Aces
First City Football Club (FCFC)
Archers
Beacons
Belters
Redtails
Razorbacks
Defenders
Football Team

So noticing a trend here on these survey lists. There's ONE good, "popular" choice on each.

Redwolves, Warriors, Red Tails and Red Hogs aren't going up against each other. Football Team and Redtails are matched up though, so one will be going away. The competition for each are all garbage, ridiculous names with no hope of being accepted.

I think we're seeing the strategic development of the final choices with the appearance of "listening to all fans who made a submission".

Its a yougov petition poll no way is it indicative of the team's intentions.

There's no proof either way if the team is behind the surveys or not.

They may be behind it but regardless it isn't anymore than a winnowing tool for the large pool of names that are being floated around. It has very little bearing on the main names in consideration unless one of those oddball ones suddenly rise. In NCAA terms the final four are likely WFT, Warriors, Wolves( or redwolves) and then whichever cinderella name pops from surveys like that one.

If there's thousands or millions of votes, I'm sure they'll reference it and factor it into the decision.

I said the exact same thing. This entire process is calculated. You throw enough garbage names out there people will be distracted with the trash name they won’t be fighting over the most popular names.
