Come up with a new name for the Redskins

As I understand it the list of 8 names shown was the one WFT asked fans to vote on. There has been a WFT source/video that says they are down to three names. I think that CBS have drawn the conclusion that the three names are necessarily on the 8 name list. That may not be the case. The 8 name list was not specified as the final 8 names, in part I think it was to gauge interest in keeping the WFT name which has since been ruled out so obviously the response was mixed.

Redwolves is literally the only name i like. Redhogs is fucking awful. Presidents is equally as awful.I actually could go with the Washington Armada but like someone else said the name sounds better ending with an S.

Regardless of the final name, I personally like that they are keeping engaged with the fans as they go through it. I think videos like the ones they have done lead the fan base through the thought process and funnel the sentiment into manageable expectations. That way barring one of the God awful ones being selected(RedHogs, Presidents) people will at least have mentally accepted/resigned themselves to the outcome.

Honestly that entire list outside of WFT and wolves is pretty bad. I sure hope there are better names being considered at this point.

At least we're all in agreement that Washington Redhogs or Presidents is awful.

As much as they are driving the videos, and Wright said (paraphrasing) that these videos are crafted after the process has passed that point in the process.
“... We’re always a few steps ahead of that in the process," Wright said July 29. "If we’ve had time to make content around it, we’ve moved past it. … But yes, it has been narrowed down.”

I seriously doubt there is any hidden name out there otherwise this whole building the brand showcase falls flat.

Agree, just stick with WFT if that's the case

Agree, just stick with WFT if that's the caseThey are not sticking with WFT.

It isn't happening for a thousand reasons, but the simplest few are that it doesn't reflect any of the traits that they keep harping on. It doesn't provide for expanding the base beyond DC. It doesn't move from the realm of generic.
It was a placeholder and they didn't spend massive marketing capital and brand awareness efforts to in the end say "It's WFT".

I could go on about it but I only slept at the holiday Inn express one night.

I would guess that their next Making the Brand video will be in the November/December time frame and it will be all about moving how they chose WFT as a placeholder and how it is time to move into the future with a new identity beyond WFT.

I think Brigade is ok, but just ok. Red Wolves or Wolves is great. Everything else listed there sucks to me.

Razorbacks or Warthogs would be how I'd go if we want to go down the hog themed route. RedHogs is stupid, that's trying to make Fetch happen with the 'Red' in the name. It's not going to happen.

I don't think we can even say that's the list they're going from though. There were several other lists that fans were voting on back when they did that.
