Keeping the temporary name wasn't an option anymore the minute they decided to go through a 2 years+ process and communicated all the way about how it was thorough and inclusive and all...

"in the end we couldn't do better in 2 years than we did in 2 weeks"

"In the end that whole process was a complete waste of time and money"

Was. Never. An. Option.

While I tend to agree with what you say, you are assuming that WFT is being open and honest about how they are conducting the the process. I don't trust the WFT organization to be honest about anything.

It's not really about wether they are honest about it or not.

It's about how stupid sticking with the temporary name after communicating about how great their rebranding process was for 2 years would make them look.

And I do think Jason Wright has done a fairly good job of being as transparent as he could be while conducting the rebranding of a billions dollars company.

I agree about Jason Wright but he's good at telling us what he wants us to know.

I'm not saying its about them being honest, I'm saying that based on WFT's past bad behavior and cover-ups its hard to take what they say seriously. Although its not impossible to make WFT look any worse than it already does, they can always go lower.

What if this two years with WFT is the rebranding process?

You raise valid points.

With regards to keeping WFT, an example of when sometimes the best option is to do nothing.

But Danny don't do nothing. Never has and he never will.

Absolutely. But for me it's just hard to believe that they, yes, even them, don't realize how stupid keeping WFT would make them look.

Ok but do you see them naming it something really dumb getting fan and media backlash, rolling out merchandise new signs etc and then before the season saying nope JK it looks like we will stay with WFT? and having to do new signs etc all over again?

Oh sure this still has the potential to be a disaster, and yes I'm aware they could pick a name that makes us all regret WFT, totally. Heck I think I prefer WFT over Commanders for an example...
They're just in no position to keep the name they announced as temporary after all this time and rebranding communication IMO.
