What gives me hope is that people close to them might not be so adamantly supporting the Redwolves name if it had no chance.
I also think if it was Warriors they could have announce it right away, couldn't they have ?

What do you think about this one:

Logo - not bad.... not great . I'd like one of the head but looking more ferocious. Could always go with R on the helmet and Red Wolves on the jersey

I hope it is Red Wolves and if not then Warriors would be my 2nd choice.

Hope Dan Snyder is considering it seeing as current players and former players and fans celebrity and regular are endorsing it

Not a fan of RedTails....but will still root for them no matter what nickname is chosen.

Yeah how about no.

That's why the team should move away from anything NA related. If they don't like Redskins, fine. But you don't get to pick the new name. Sorry.


Totally agree

No to the plane logo if they chose Redtails which I hope they do not.

So how big of a deal is this potentially? I heard Dan Patrick talking about this...this guy supposedly owns almost every mascot name possible and rake Snyder over the coals to get it???

I was reading something that if Snyder wants one of those names he can get it without paying through the nose, but it may take time. He would have to challenge the guy's trademark and then the owner would have to prove he needs the trademark for commercial use. Not 100% sure on it as I am not an attorney. Article said something about the law being written this way for this reason. Did not say how long it could take.

How about the guy frees up The name and Snyder gives the money to a charity.. Trying to profit off the team that is trying to comply with the folks who find it offensive.. he is just as bad as any name maybe worse ..

Didn't want to start a new thread, but something I read on another board. A general sports board. A poster thinks changing the name and logo is not enough. He actually says they need a complete re-brand (name, logo, colors, etc) AND they need to abandon the history and start as a new franchise (think Ravens when they moved to Baltimore, but left the Browns history behind). My thought was if they did that, it would alienate a LARGE chunk of the current fanbase. I think most, even if they do not want the name changed, can live with it. Especially if they keep the colors and other things like the wordmark font, the "R" and just lose the Native American imagery. BUT, if they started over as the Washginton Whatevers with a brand new color scheme and when you walked into the Stadium there would be no mention of the Redskins, nothing to honor the SB teams, the NFL Championship teams, no retired #'s/ring of honor, etc, then they would see a lot of fans jump ship as this was no longer the team they grew up with and loved.

So, wondering your thoughts. How do you think you would react if they made it seem like a new franchise and ditched everything including the history? What about if they kept the history but did a complete overhaul new colors, fonts, name, logo, everything, but you could still walk into Fed Ex and see a banner for SB XVII, XXII, and XXVI?

This guy tweeted that he doesn't want any money.. Clearly he wants something though and is an assclown

Maybe he's asking for a 40% ownership stake in the Washington NFL team LOL.

Well you know what that poster can do. Crazy world out there. In no way or shape or form do we erase the history..period.
