A few months ago you were using black magic to try to set Tua upon us and now you're using it for the lame Warriors name.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins

Washington Redwolves is like breaking up with a girl and dating her twin sister.
It's convenient, I guess.

I hope they keep the colors and change everything else for a fresh start.
No red, no spears, and no god damn feathers.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins

NEW: Dan Snyder once pursued a trademark for the Washington Warriors, a case which reopened in 2019. The case was abandoned in 2020, significant as the Redskins now look for a new name:

Come up with a new name for the Redskins

RED WOLVES - best name to date. Fred smoot is right. No other wolf teams in the NFL. Goes into HTTR with a few word changes.

All the NA names or ideas are out. That includes WARRIOR, which may be too related to the current name. 15 NA tribes yesterday told the NFL they don’t like REDSKINS brand. Call that the VERY LAST NAIL in this franchises name.

I think that with the Preseason coming they will just go with a plain B & G helmet.

Snyder has two choices:

1. make a name change QUICKLY, before the PS. If he screws it up, he may have to change it if there is a big backlash. Rebranding takes time, which Snyder does not have.

2. Go with a generic name to get through the season. Like the Washington Skins or Washington Football Team or something like that. Just a hold over name. Then make a real decision after the season.

Snyder may want to return from Europe where he has sent the Pandemic. Events are accelerating and he’s got to make some decisions about the name change now before his enemies rise against him.

Yeah the more I think about it the more I like Redwolves because of the fan stuffs we'd be a able to do.

A (hopefully one fay) full stadium howling before kickoff or after a TD or on 3rd down is exciting.

Redskins Nation can become the Wolf Pack.

Figure out a badass logo.

Next time I come to FedEx I'm covered in blood and wearing a wolf skin.

What's not to like ^^

PS: RedWolves only live in North America so it would make sense.

Johnathan Allen wants the Redwolves name too he said "We could call the stadium the Wolf den and howl after every big play"

I agree, it's the best of the bunch for sure

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins

Redwolves, Redtails, Idk.. I just feel more apathetic. I really hope these guys start winning. A name change and another bad season may be it for a lot of us. Especially the older fans like myself. It's been about 45 years for me personality and I just feel numb and unattached. There is no way I'm buying anything with Redwolves or Retails on it. I'll never do it. Ever.

Honestly it took me some time (and I'm not quite there yet) to accept the name is going away, the logo is going away, any NA reference is going away, fight song is probably going away too. There's a strong affective link which doesn't die in a couple of days.

But what I love with Redwolves is what it offers from a fan perspective. Be a part of the Pack. Go to the Den. Howl.
I need shit like that to project myself as a fan of this team with a new name.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins

^ What you guys are feeling is the same way I am.. When I first heard the name was changing, I'll be honest and say I was about to say f them and root for another team. I'm giving Dan a chance to fix it in the right way, Redwolves or Warriors are decent options depending on what Logo's they use. If it's some corny bullshit I may just find another team to root for.. The Redskins were my team because of the name and history, I also grew up with Dallas fans all around me and I hated them so that rivalry was amazing. Now that will be gone no matter what we all say, the Redskins-Cowboys rivalry is dead. Also I'm not from DC or Maryland / VA , so really I have no ties to the team in that manner.

Redwolves = I'll stick around
Warriors = Maybe
Redtails = I'm out
Redhawks = 50/50

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins

I grew up in the DC burbs and the Redskins is all I know and is all I will ever know. That stuff Allen is talking, the wolf den and people howling, I just will never do that nonsense. The song HTTR is in my blood. We go from that to howling like Wolves? No way in hell.
