Wasn't "Redwings" the name of the bicycle club that the founder belonged to? If I remember it correctly.


Think it was his hockey team … gotta look it up

This makes it a little better I guess. The statues are definitely cool. Had no idea and I’ve been to Cleveland a couple times. Lol. How the fuck did i miss them?

Cleveland Queens has a nice ring to it.

Cleveland Nancy-Boys is good too.

That's true that name does suck! I'm in NY we have the Knickerbockers, which is stupid considering they are named after a style of shorts but it sound cooler as the Knicks.

I think Knickerbocker came to mean a an old time New Yorker who could trace his roots to the original Dutch.

It also inspired a beer that my uncle used to drink back in the day.

In honor of the terrible name selected by Cleveland, I would like to get out front of our own equally bad, or worse new moniker.

I nominate the Washington SwampDonkeys for your consideration.

Before you immediately dismiss this idea as a jest, I would like to point out the apropos nature of the name, and it’s non partisan political nature, as SwampDonkeys of every color and stripe reside and indeed work their grift in the DMV.

Lastly for your consideration, we can keep our beloved touchdown song with the most minimal of lyrical changes.
🎵 Hail to the SwampDonkeys!
🎵 Heehaw victory!
🎵 Donkeys on the warpath!
🎵 Grifting our money!

Thanks in advance for your careful consideration, and have a great weekend before TRAINING CAMP!

Cleveland Browns also sounds good.

Oh wait there's already a turd franchise with that for a name.

The Cleveland logo is really bad , the one with the wings. Literally a child could have drawn that.

I think images of a pack of wolves taking down giants is tremendous imagery.

For anyone that is hoping they pull a name out of thin air, that would be a huge disrespect to the fan input that they supposedly wanted.

This, I think at this point, on top of wanting to make it right, they are taking time so most people will accept that Redskins is gone, then actually start wanting a new name, and most of them will be glad one is finally picked, even if they're not fans of the final choice. I think Jason's team is being very smart with the whole process AND how they communicate about it.
Any Redwolves/Wolves option has my clear cut preference, and I think pleasing a vast majority of the fan base would be smart marketing choice, so there are reasons to be hopeful IMO.

Redwolves has an edge as it comes to connecting to the past, (ie keeping HTTR and the fight song, and simply having part of the former name in the new one), and Redwolves are actually originally from the area (ok not only from DC, but which animal comes from only one city ?).

Wolves has an edge as it's more simple, and some people hate the former but are ok with the later. Wolves of Washington just sounds good, the W stands for both.

Good with both.

Jonathan Allen says he likes a lot of things about the Redwolves name (https://www.instagram.com/p/CCcmU_4AiKV/?utm_medium=copy_link)
