Come up with a new name for the Redskins

MTK · 07-23-2020, 12:24 PM

I like it simple and clean

skinsfaninok · 07-23-2020, 12:27 PM

They could have matched the numbers like bama at least. O well it is what it is.

Agreed.
Rushing it would have probably ended with uninspiring generic name and logo.

Part of me wants to believe it'll give them time to figure out the trademark issue with the Arkansas State Redwolves.

Anyway, we can now get back to talking football !

It actually looks great.

Much better than getting Nike-fied.

Would be hilarious if the team ends up appearing in the Super Bowl with that uniform. The league will hate itself for the embarrassment of a team with no name or logo in the big game...will severely limit their merchandising profits.

I was expecting something like this as a Madden 21 placeholder, but not on the field.

Once we get a Redwolves logo, throw it on one side of the helmet and keep the numbers on the other side for the rest of the year...might have something cool.

Glad they're not rushing anything, a good design could take 2 years.

That defense will have something to say about it.

Homerism for sure, but this team has a ton of potential.

The NFC Beast is now the worst division in football, anything can happen.

I could see a Wild Card, or even division title at like 9-7. Heck, 8-8 could win this putrid division.

I actually like it. Love the numbers on the helmet. Old school.
Agreed though numbers should have matching colors

"Who do you root for?"

"The Club."

Aside from not sounding stupid, an NFL team needs a nickname for marketing and merchandising success. Going the soccer route will not be popular, just as soccer has never gained mass popularity in the USA despite so much money and effort by the sports media to prop it up.

Washington FC would be the worst team name in ALL of major pro sports. (not considering soccer a major pro sport)

I also like that this comes on the day guys are coming in for TC. I can see Rivera telling the FO "No matter how, I want this settled by the beginning of training camp".

Monkeydad · 07-23-2020, 12:47 PM

Here's the road look.

skinsfaninok · 07-23-2020, 12:51 PM

D.C F.C would be cool but those are just knock off Bama uniforms folks.. They could have at least put a W on the helmet.. Match the damn colors man, that looks like some Youth football uniform.

VTSkins1961 · 07-23-2020, 01:08 PM

Does look like Bama. But it could also mean that it could take a while for new nickname. Could bea name that is already trademarked

Monkeydad · 07-23-2020, 02:15 PM

Alabama is far from the only team to use numbers on helmets. The Cleveland Browns and LA Chargers had numbers on helmets Hardly a knockoff.

Fun fact - The Browns AND Alabama both added numbers to helmets in 1957.

Although our 'Bama defense probably loves the look.
