Come up with a new name for the Redskins

[CRedskinsRule]

I don't see how you can watch this video and think it will be anything but RedWolves

I did think the video itself was very well done.



Points of note to me:
1) they have a fan say "I like that we didn't just rush into some generic name" Keeping WFT would be like, nope we took 2 years to pick a generic name, they did also keep in a fan that said - "I like Washington Football Team i don't care what anyone says" note - she also liked RedWolves and howled
2) they had all the fans shown Howl (one point against RW because they did keep in the part with the baby crying at the howl)
3) 3 of the logos were Wolf based
4) The only logo I actually liked was the one with the monuments - and they did have that get the best fan response.

I think the 3 contenders right now are RedWolves, Commanders and Washington Football Team

I came here to post exactly your points 1) and 2).

IMO WFT is 95% out, they can not afford to look that stupid. How lame would their amazing and thorough process look if it didn't come up with anything better than the temporary generic name found in 2 weeks...

I think the howling part says a lot, you can see how, on top of being a fun way to bring people together, it'll also be a great way to get fans fired up and implicated in the game. We've lacked that for years.
I love our fight song, but when I went to FedEx in 2018 most people didn't know half the lyrics...

I find it funny the blocked by YouTube warning says Washington Redskins

[punch it in]

I want Red Wolves with some nasty ass logo. Claw marks or a mean ass wolf. I just dont want some cartoon character like this…


I wanna hear that howl from my house in New Jersey. If it is anything else I will be disappointed. Unless it is something that I haven’t heard yet but I think all the options are out there at this point.

Im pretty sure WFT is out at this point or what are they unveiling? The new old new name? Lol

I have said this a few times, DO NOT do that Redwolf shit. That is so fucking terrible, like that is high school shit. You'd go from Hail to the Redskins to a bunch of fucking drunk idiots making wolf sounds. Gosh I hope we are above that nonsense.

I think you are going to have to get used to some form of Wolf.

Idk about that. Isn’t any pro sports name interchangeable with any hs sports name? Matter of fact my Highschool was the Raiders. I think the Seahawks is a fuckin great name. Redwolves reminds me of it. What is more bad ass than howling? Lotta people thought the band was corny as hell.
Anyway lucky for you i have absolutely no say in the new name, but like C-red said you better get used to it…..

Sorry but wolf sounds is just so damn cringe. That will get old after about a couple weeks. HTTR was iconic and was only played after a score. People will be doing this wolf bit all night long, after every sack, after every first down, after every score. No ....just no.... Don't do it. If you change Redskins then you have to go away from RED.. just move away from it. You can not keep HTTR and go Hail to the Redwolves. That is also cringe... Even Redhogs, just don't do it.

Agreed.

Sorry Cred but I don't think wolves have any connection to the DC area. I'm sure historically red wolves might be near the area, but I've been here for over 3 decades and have yet to hear about a single wolf sighting. I would like to have some significance to the area if that's the route we're going.

If we're picking from the list my top 3 are Armada, Brigade, and Defenders. We can still keep the colors without keeping Red in the name. Thats my other point Cred - keeping Red in the name feels like an appeal to older Skins fans that have lost their loyalty to the team.

I want WFT as it works well for those that are going to call them the Redskins no matter what anyone else calls them.

[CRedskinsRule]

RedWolves works well with the Redskins diehards too. There are lots of subtle ways to pay homage to the Redskins legacy with Wolf imagery without directly tying the two together.

In fact as the crowds move on to the latest pc problem you can bring back some level of merging the two.

Obviously not in the immediate future but picture something like the attached image with Sammy Baugh and Chase Young.

One more takeaway from that video. Wright listed 6 characteristics the new brand should capture:
Resilience, Grit, Tradition, Nobility, History, Pride

Out of all the names flashed:
Armada, Commanders, Defenders, WFT, RedWolves/Wolves

Which one captures those most in essence. By far I think the answer is RedWolves/Wolves.

I also want to add I think they are definitely doing a lot of due diligence here, and that should command respect once the choice is announced.

I just read that Jason Wright actually said the Three names and they were bleeped out?? .. what sense does that make ?? Was there a press conference where this occurred if so Are we to believe that nobody there heard the three names ? If this was a press conference dealing with the Government and national security it would have allready been leaked 😳.. hard for me to believe nobody in the press knows the final 3 names .. am I missing something?

The 3 names were said in Wright's office as a taped conversation between Rivera, Mayhew, and Wright. The were beeped out because the club is trying to build the suspense and create speculation. Rivera also made comments the were bleeped out.
If you watch it the bleeps are like a TV show that bleeps out certain parts in an advertisement to build curiosity and interest.
