Come up with a new name for the Redskins

[rocnrik]

Gotcha ! Thanks for the explanation! I did some research on the red wolf .. apparently they only live in eastern North Carolina .. not sure how that ties in with this team … wolves without the Red in the name makes more sense to me … Washington Wolves … we maybe totally surprised at what it actually ends up … I still think it could be a nod to the military or a patriotic theme…

Interestingly enough, the red wolf used to roam from Texas to New York. It is now an endangered species in need of a major awareness campaign. Imagine if Washington encouraged high schools that were Redskins to also change, and then launched an effort with the national zoo (in DC) donating an area in the zoo for endangered wolves. HUGE opportunities to generate brand marketing, a sympathetic fan base, and build cross connections in DC, and VA. Also remember before the Panthers, NC was considered Redskins country.

Yop, Redwolf is an American endemic Wolf that used to roam the area. It'd actually be hard to find another badass animal which was never found outside this area...
Anyway, beside Monument (which is boring AF if you ask me), what name has a specific connection to DC and DC only ?
And yes, that's including Redskins, it's not like NA where only from DC in the first place... So this "no link to the town" argument is weak IMO.

Yeah. I really hate the idea the name has to be linked to the town directly.

I just want the team name to end with a "S". I'm already a Thunder fan in basketball, I can't handle 2 weird names.

Note - I was originally a Supersonics fan, which is the best name in sports history. But I am not from Seattle, so I didn't care when they moved. So I've been a Thunder fan since the move. I actually like that name OK(C), but still don't want 2 favorite teams with weird names.

Oh, if they go this route, it definitely needs to be Rewolves, plural. I was just talking about the actual animal ;-)

Yeah, I should have been more clear.

I know what you meant.

But your post just reminded me of needing that "s" at the end. And missing the Supersonics.
