Come up with a new name for the Redskins

Again, could be wrong, but I strongly disagree with that. Do you picture how stupid and lame they'd look if they kept the temporary name found in 2 weeks after 2 years+ of talking up their great rebranding process and how they value the trillions of fans input they bragged about receiving ?
Plus they talked many times about wanting to pick a long lasting name. How cheap will it look in 60+years : "wait, why did they stick with the no-name-name that was supposed to be temporary again ? -well some people were pissed about the name changed and they were scared to piss some more by picking a new name...".

"We got 40,000 submissions from the fans for our contest and we decided all of them are worse than Football Team."

Somehow, someway, Dan would find a way to make us hate him even more.

Sometimes the best option is to do nothing.

My personal desire is the new name retains continuity- a subtle link to our history. Something like Redwolves accomplishes that with ease and has no potential for any controversy.

But I would rather retain WFT (with an old fashioned block W please) than something lame like Generals. A brand new team with the same disagreeable owner is not an appealing option.

The Cleveland Indians will now be known as the "Guardians" Thoughts?

Hate the name, it almost looks like they just tried to keep as man letters from "Indians" as possible. Guardians.

Spiders had historical significance and would have been a better choice.



The "Guardians" fonts even look like they're from 1980s Indians uniforms.

I have a significant amount of Cherokee; just a few generations back was a pure Cherokee woman, my great grandmother. I have some say in this...and neither Redskins or ESPECIALLY NOT Indians are offensive...I took pride in having my favorite football team honor my heritage.



Last year, I bought a "LONG LIVE CHEIF WAHOO" t-shirt in protest when the liberals canceled him. :D

The Guardians logo is atrocious. A local legion team that feels ripped off challenged the Cleveland team to a game, winner keeps their logo. :D

But, that statement may actually be true!

Warriors and Red Wolves were the only good options to me.

Or heck, go back to the original Braves name.


But no, everything is racist. *Official slogan of a certain political party*

After Cleveland's Guardians fiasco (and the blow back has been huge) it makes me wonder if the Redskins will be a little hesitant to pick a name at this point. I think it strengthens the argument to stick with WFT. If they do go with another name it will only be a small minority that likes it and everyone else whose choice wasn't picked will start shooting holes in the new name (Which is what is happening in Cleveland right now).

Well look at the logo. It's basically a 1950s gas station sign in terms of design quality. Might work for a Detroit throwback, but not a rebrand.

Yeah... it was probably that and not the 30 years of crap football.

"All we had left was the name and they took that too"

You do know it is possible to lose additional fans on top of fans they previously lost right? They lost a chunk of fans to bad football over 2 decades and then they lost another chunk once they retired the name and they will lose a few more when they settle on a name.

One of them might be me. Continuity or bust I say.

Ha, name taken. Roller Derby team.

I concede your first point. Still think the ratio of fans leaving over the crap football and our franchise's reputation being in the shitter is probably 90% vs. the fans who left because of the name change.

Even here - how many fans do we have who publicly declared the name change was the last straw and they were out? Just for sample size. We got 1 guy here who says he might leave for continuity purposes.
