Correct, the other owners do not vote on the name. Just has to be approved by the league office/commissioner. Although the owners vote for the commissioner to represent them, so in that regards they did vote already.

I think we all hate the circumstances. I hope it is Redwolves for the simple reason it is an animal, we can keep same color scheme and I don't think any other professional sports team is called Redwolves. Coming up with a logo should not be that difficult. Could go with the name for a year until the make a logo they really like There are some colleges that changed to from Redskins to Redwolves...

if it is the Warriors can still keep the same color scheme. The spear logo would be cool with this but slight chance of the liberals complaining about that also......
.
And call me silly or bitter - if the liberals don't want a native american name or theme I'd rather have a clean break from it.

I think the FSU Spear would be fine

For Redwolves you could have the wolf on the helmet and the R logo on the sleeves

A Redskins fan should know FSU uses our spear.

Well just in case I snatched up a couple of new potential Red Wolves related domain names.

Seems like the connected opinion is on Redwolves

He said he tweeted that just to make people laugh.

I agree with 69, we need to keep some kind of history in tact because if you start all the way over, you really risk losing fans , myself included. Do we really want to be an expansion team?

So what are the chances that Snyder comes out with a new nickname that hasn't been mentioned at all? Any chance of that...or have all the options been leaked out to gauge how everyone reacts to them? The Vegas odds don't even include RedWolves

I saw that list and to be honest i had actually never even heard some of those names that were mentioned...

I don’t think there will be any new name announcement for a long long time ... maybe next season .. the team may just drop redskins and go play if there is a season .. at this point Dan will somehow mess this up

I would be cool with that. I would prefer if he takes his time and vets a name. The important thing was dumping the name before the season to make sure the franchise isn't financially impacted more. I agree DS will probably mess this up. This is a great opportunity for some positive publicity but go on their website they aren't even using this opportunity to spin anything positive.

I agree too.

Back in the 90s, when the NFL began doing the Throwback weekends and the like, the Skins wore some uniforms with the old color variation and no helmet logo. Looked like USC, but they were really sweet. I would suggest that for the season unless Dan wants one more season as (nominally) the Redskins.

I love the uniforms but I hated those helmets. The whole NFL had inaccurate "fauxbacks" that season. It was for the NFL's 75th anniversary.







Then again, maybe I just hate them because of Health Shuler.
