Come up with a new name for the Redskins

[calia]

So Jason Wright tweeted this AM that the 8 names that were on the jumbotron at FedEx are not necessarily the final list of 8 contenders.

"Just to be clear, because everyone keeps asking, we are down to and working through a final three but this is no form of final 8 list. These are just a selection of names that happened to show up in the video our team produced."

So the name may not be any of these (which is a relief, as most are shite). I still think it will be Wolves or Redwolves, and I am cool with that.

Defenders is kinda cool

WFT is solid

Red wolves is Ok

Wolves is the leader of the pack by far. Red Wolves and Commanders would be next and finally WFT.

Anything else would be an out of the blue name, and better knock it out of the park.

After that video sparked so much speculation, it will be interesting to see how much energy they spend on it once the season begins. Hopefully with the team in the playoff hunt, the need to push this information out will be minimal.

Final pitch for Wolves (for the moment) imagine the imagery around Wolves in the playoff Hunt.

Just so easy to do great (non-offensive) marketing/imagery with Wolves.

Prob the best WFT clothing so far

The Indians fans were mostly blindsided by "Guardians" so we'll see what WFT comes up with

But the Cleveland FO didn't make a media event around the whole process or show clips of fans looking and reacting to certain ideas. The WFT has made it a point of emphasis to say that they are being as open and transparent as possible.

Without even knowing for sure what the final names under consideration are, I think a lot of people are setting themselves up to be disappointed.

Not directly related to your post. I am curious how everyone feels about their Making the Brand videos. I have said that I see it as a positive if they are trying to guide and lay out a level of expectation and anticipation for the new name. So when I see Wolves themes with positive messaging repeated, or say Commanders or WFT both of which also have had some clear positive messages in these videos, then when the name is announced I have a level of "OK, That makes sense". But if they pull some name and logo like the DMV Dumbasses or Washington Whoseewhatsits, then to me they would have been better off just staying tight lipped and announcing it in one big reveal after the Superbowl

So, my question is, at the midpoint of the renaming journey, how does everyone feel that the WFT has done with the media aspect of it?

We've seen a bunch of possible names beyond that 8 name list yesterday. The team got like 40,000 submissions? I'll go out on a limb it's going to be one of those for sure lol

As far as the media aspect of it I would have been fine if they just announced it vs all this "journey" stuff. I honestly don't care, just tell us the name and let's get on with it. But I get it, they're engaging the fans and that's something this team hasn't done well with for years.

They are definitely hyping it up, which is why there is no way it stays WFT. Meet the new name, same as the old new name?
I have wanted Redwolves since the first time I heard it floated. Ill be disappointed with anything else. Unless maybe it is something I haven’t heard, but that is apparently not the case.
