Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

[quote=FrenchSkin;1287603]Yop, Redwolf is an American endemic Wolf that used to roam the area. It'd actually be hard to find another badass animal which was never found outside this area...
Anyway, beside Monument (which is boring AF if you ask me), what name has a specific connection to DC and DC only ?
And yes, that's including Redskins, it's not like NA where only from DC in the first place... So this "no link to the town" argument is weak IMO.[/quote]

I just want the team name to end with a "S". I'm already a Thunder fan in basketball, I can't handle 2 weird names.

Note - I was originally a Supersonics fan, which is the best name in sports history. But I am not from Seattle, so I didn't care when they moved. So I've been a Thunder fan since the move. I actually like that name OK(C), but still don't want 2 favorite teams with weird names.

Oh, if they go this route, it definitely needs to be Rewolves, plural. I was just talking about the actual animal ;-)

Yeah, I should have been more clear.

I know what you meant.

But your post just reminded me of needing that "s" at the end. And missing the Supersonics.

[QUOTE=CRedskinsRule;1287597]Interestingly enough, the red wolf used to roam from Texas to New York. It is now an endangered species in need of a major awareness campaign. Imagine if Washington encouraged high schools that were Redskins to also change, and then launched an effort with the national zoo (in DC) donating an area in the zoo for endangered wolves. HUGE opportunities to generate brand marketing, a sympathetic fan base, and build cross connections in DC, and VA. Also remember before the Panthers, NC was considered Redskins country.

Love this idea……great thought.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

Word is they have narrowed it to 3 names

Based on the latest social network video that's not crazy to think, but the short list could be wider than that, no official word on this matter yet.

I'd be cool with Sentinels

It is confirmed with Jason Wright that they are down to 3 names.

I have started seeing the name Spartans, which would be a complete out of the box name.

They should announce the 3 options so fans can vote.

Nah, internet fan polls always go wrong. Everybody that isn't a WFT fan would vote for the worst option - or if there's an "other" category they'd all link up and vote for TeamyMcTeamface or some other dumb shit.

Although the subtitle for this episode was the people's team, so by that...

It wouldn't be bad to let season ticket holders vote. I am not one so I wouldn't have a say, but those who invest in season tickets -especially after the past 20 years of ineptitude - ought to be rewarded with a say.

Yeah, they don't even need to pick the winner. Would just be for fun. I just want to know what the 3 options are. Don't want to wait 6 months. Really blue-balling us here.

Oh thanks, hadn't seen that.

While being a fervent Redwolves/Wolves supporter, I know after the first sentiment of deception I'd be cool with pretty much any other name too, with a cool logo and all.

The thing for me with Spartans is, while ancient and current greek people likely wouldn't get offended, do they really want to go down the human mascot route again ?

I think it's going to be Wolves, maybe RedWolves, and these videos are ways of prepping the fan base. Spartans was mainly from fan comments, not anything specific.
