do you have a link or source for that? I haven't heard anything official saying that. I do think people are trying to use "authentic" as a dismissal of animals but I don't believe the team has ever said that.

Not really sure wolves fits under authentic without a bit of a stretch of the imagination. And when compared with something like Monuments, it's a clear winner as to which one is truly more authentic to the area. (Not saying I want Monuments).

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins

It’s not gonna be a animal? Well thank goodness ! There are very few teams with animal names that I like .. the Eagles represents the liberty of philly , the ravens represent Edgar Allan Poe connection with Baltimore .. the dolphins I get .. the Seahawks works ..the rest for me are ho-hum , naming a team after a animal without any other connection is a easy cop out .. let’s see why not the cheetahs, snakes, lizards, opossum, rats, toads, whales, sharks, buzzards, Polecats, elephants, rhinos, … there is NO animal that is authentic, unique or any direct connection with Washington DC …

Actually Pandas have a huge connection with DC through the good will connection between China and the US. Go Pandas.

I still haven't seen a statement that says no animals. I think that is smoke like the list of 8.

Matty any chance to redo the poll on a new thread (this one is huge anyway) maybe doing Monuments, Commanders, Wolves, other (or leave Wolves off if you feel it has been ruled out.)

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins

Hard to see WFT still being in the running, that would be a bit of a PR disaster if they took 2 years only to stay with WFT.

Perhaps a nod to the Chesapeake Bay and the DMV’s favorite crustacean. How about the Washington Sooks?

Agreed. That is one theme they have stressed but I haven't seen any name that stands out to give a nod to the past. I really just wish they would announce it, but you heard Wright talk about trademark AND unexpected surprises. I really do trust they are doing it right .
