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…..

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins

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.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins

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.

Glad I didn't watch that. That's cold blooded. Not necessarily in a negative way, but there are a million + fans affected by this.

Maybe. I thought it was cool to see them discussing it and particularly Rivera's reactions, not that we know which ones he was reacting to.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins

Gotcha ! Thanks for the explanation! I did some research on the red wolf .. apparently they only live in eastern North Carolina .. not sure how that ties in with this team … wolves without the Red in the name makes more sense to me … Washington Wolves … we maybe totally surprised at what it actually ends up … I still think it could be a nod to the military or a patriotic theme…

Interestingly enough, the red wolf used to roam from Texas to New York. It is now an endangered species in need of a major awareness campaign. Imagine if Washington encouraged high schools that were Redskins to also change, and then launched an effort with the national zoo (in DC) donating an area in the zoo for endangered wolves. HUGE opportunities to generate brand marketing, a sympathetic fan base, and build cross connections in DC, and VA. Also remember before the Panthers, NC was considered Redskins country.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins

It hasnt been shown in any video, but they had Commanders in this one (dumb) but what about Washington Commandos. Riggins in fatigues comes to mind.

Personally I doubt it is that militaristic but I think it would be a Snyder favorite.

No press conf. A social network video. No "final 3 names". Just 3 names that Jason Wright, Ron Rivera and Martin Mayhew talked about together.

I actually don't mind Comnanders. Not my preference, but I like it better than most.

Every name, besides the Wolves (because that's my favorite), will initially be disappointing.

Some names will take a lot longer to get over than others. I'm personally glad Warriors is gone. I hate the Warriors basketball team and don't want a common name altogether. But any name that isn't the Wolves (I like Redwolves too, but keeping "red" in the name will come off as a fake change), will be on a sliding scale of disappointment for me.

Commandos? We’d need to have Schwarzenegger as our mascot. Would be hilarious.

Yop, Redwolf is an American endemic Wolf that used to roam the area. It'd actually be hard to find another badass animal which was never found outside this area...
Anyway, beside Monument (which is boring AF if you ask me), what name has a specific connection to DC and DC only ?
And yes, that's including Redskins, it's not like NA where only from DC in the first place... So this "no link to the town" argument is weak IMO.

Yeah. I really hate the idea the name has to be linked to the town directly.
