WFT's Off-Season Thread

Red Wolves IS a college team...could be the hold-up on a trademark.

Those teams will change too, eventually. They may either be forced financially by business partners a la Washington or be proactive like the Cleveland Indians. I used to be a staunch defender of the names but the research and data on how damming NA mascot and imagery is to NA youth is so solid it is hard to defend it. Whatever it is a moot point now. In terms of WFT I liked it, thought it sounded like it had a sense of prestige about like the New York Athletic Club or the Millrose Athletic Association but I can get why most don't like it.

TE signed:

@AdamSchefter
Veteran TE Ricky Seals-Jones signed with the WFT, per source. Washington’s TE room now includes Logan Thomas, Temarrick Hemmingway, John Bates, Deon Yelder, Tyrone Swoopes, Sammis Reyes and Seals-Jones.

From his time in KC. https://www.google.com/amp/s/arrowhe...se-chiefs/amp/

The only thing interesting here is that he and Deon Yelder were both on the Chiefs last year. I wonder if there is something about their offense (other then Majomes) that Turner wants to emulate? Doesn't seem like this is much more than depth for competition sake.

I think he will be able to make the transition well, as long as he puts in the work every day. It probably will take him 2 years or so for him to become comfortable though. We shouldn't expect anything from him this year.

Anyone else read/hear the player interviews from OTA's and start thinking ...

" Watch out Miami!! Your record is going down! 17 - 0 baby!! "

I swear nothing gets the koolaid pumping than hearing the players use cliches to describe the current roster. Probably because we've sucked so bad the past two decades.

But I'm bullish on our squad next season.

Our D, combined with a gunslinger and speedy wideouts .... yes please.

To be young and optimistic.

I tune out everything about how good they look this time of year. Ain't nothing we haven't heard the last 20 years.

I’m so burned out on the name game. Finding an animal to name our team just seems juvenile and random. I wish the DMV had something badass and historic to draw on (a la Steelers), but all we really have is the seat of government, and those nicknames suck more than animals.

If we stay with WFT, maybe a *true* nickname will emerge as the team finds its new identity. The WTF unis can still be dope without a stupid animal or — God forbid — the Washington Monument on them.

Stop me if anyone has heard this before, but I think we should use the name Redskins and just change the logo to a potato. Boom problem solved. Brilliant.

A red, football-shaped potato. With eyes. Angry eyes.

When I was a teenager — long before the Internet — some sage sports guru told me that the name Redskins originated in Boston from Boston baked beans. I believed this for years until it was possible to research this kind of thing. Just think of the cheer possibilities.
