Come up with a new name for the Redskins

I think Jason's team is being very smart with the whole process AND how they communicate about it.
Any Redwolves/Wolves option has my clear cut preference, and I think pleasing a vast majority of the fan base would be smart marketing choice, so there are reasons to be hopeful IMO.

Redwolves has an edge as it comes to connecting to the past, (ie keeping HTTR and the fight song, and simply having part of the former name in the new one), and Redwolves are actually originally from the area (ok not only from DC, but which animal comes from only one city ?).

Wolves has an edge as it's more simple, and some people hate the former but are ok with the later. Wolves of Washington just sounds good, the W stands for both.

Good with both.

WFT wants nothing to do with anything that could be remotely related to Redskins and as tenuous as Redwolves sounds, trolls will find a way to make something bad out of using "red" in the name. That's why WFT wont choose it or anything with "red" in the name. They might pick Wolves but it wont be Redwolves. And the days of singing HTTR, in whatever form, are over. The connection to the past will be through the colors, not the name.
