The connection to the past will be through the colors, not the name.

What's clear is they're gonna stay clear of any NA reference, and for sure they're gonna be cautious with past connections... but he also said in the same brief "Though I wasn't here for the rescinding of the name, I believe it was done with faith that the connective ties of this fan base run deep and that the deeply loved traditions and positive aspects of our identity can be preserved and even enhanced under a new name that does not offend any member of our community."

So I wouldn't be so sure any "Red" name option is 100% out.

That's where keeping the colors comes in. Do I think a "red" name is 100% out, no. I think it about 95% out.
