Red Wolves is corny as hell, "Wolfpack" GTFOH... This isn't HS or College ball lol

Agree. I hope they keep it WFT. Its unique and it works. The fight song still works by only changing a few words. Anything else is too corny to work. I hope they don't make the same mistake the Wizards did.

I say keep it Washington Football Team and put the W logo on the helmet or on the sleeves of the jerseys. The only other legit option is Warriors in my eyes.

Definitely get the W on the helmets. I cant stand the numbers on the helmets. Its too disjointed and college/high school looking.

The commentators thing gets me thinking we need some kind of nickname, even if it actually becomes unofficial. I mean if you look at every other team the name or its derivation is punchy and has an immediate identity.

For example, Jets! Jets! Jets!

Football Team! Football Team! Football Team! doesn't trip off the tongue does it.

I liked Red Wolves because the animal image and maybe a tasty logo to go with it would fit with the other animal based names, and the fight song would still work with little change. But anything that works is fine by me. Just can't help thinking Football Team is a bit meh. And will it age well too?

How about DMV! DMV! DMV!

I like WFT but I am still hanging on that it is a business decision if Snyder is ever forced to sell. An unnamed team where a new owner can come in and name it is more valuable than one with a new nickname.

So you think Snyder thinks he will be forced to sell the team, and that is why there is no name yet?

I don't think it is the end all be all but I think that it could be a factor. I am not sure Snyder is thinking that so much as Jason Wright. Wright seems pretty savvy. Being able to court potential buyers with the idea they can name the franchise does not seem far fetched to me.

Sorry didn't notice you are from the UK. DMV is short for DC, Maryland, Virginia. The Washington Metro area is sometimes referred to as the DMV.
