[quote=mooby;1288178]Agreed. If we go with Legends might as well go with Washington Hall of Famers.

Just dumb.[/quote]

Washington Good Football Players

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

Haven't heard anything about Legends being a possibility. Sounds pretty lame.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

Legends .. sounds like a sporting goods store ..I really don’t think they will use that .. will they?

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

I can't see it, they'd be setting themselves up to be a punching bag for bad jokes. A team that has lost as many games as they have in the last 30 years is going to re-name themselves Legends? LOL that would be zero self awareness. Wright isn't that dumb.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

I agree it’s lame … Washington Ambassadors is somewhat better (WFL name in the 70’s) . but still not great , all the talk about a nod to the past ( history etc) .. I’m not sure what that really means . Maybe Washington Veterans .. I like Wolves at this point

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

Washington Legends sounds like a eSport team name.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

As much BS this team has put its fan base through they should not play games with this name stuff .. throwing out hints and they have not decided on a name ? List of three names .. really so all three names are close enough that they all check the box for the hints… I’m not buying .. more Snyder BS . We know WFT is out so why not either name team or if there really is a choice of three let the fans ( season ticket holders) vote the name .. it’s a lame way of doing business

If the team struggles and the stands are empty then watch Snyder play the Name game to try and keep the interest up .. this is all BS ! I’m to the point in saying get back to me when you decide on a name and brand ( we don’t know for sure it will include Washington) .. what is the point they are trying to make?? Name the team and let’s roll !

It's all for marketing , they have the name picked already , they are probably just going through legal stuff right now

Dan IS that dumb and has ZERO self awareness...so...it's possible.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
 

They said early 22 the name would be announced... just ignore all the noise right now if you can't wait. It's really not that far off lol

The marketing and branding going on is spot checking for any pitfalls because they can't just announce the name and hope the legal stuff follows.

It is very clear that they have a plan in place and are following it. Along the way, I believe, they are trying to give the fan base an decent view of the process so that people know it was a diligent effort.

It helps bring the fanbase closer to the team.. It's a very smart move. Some people will be happy others mad about the name but overall eventually everyone will get used to whatever it is...

Agreed. Do people really expect them to NOT be marketing and building up the rebranding of a multi billions dollars company ?
I actually appreciate the fact they are being as transparent as they can legitimately be expected to be in this process...
If you can't handle a couple of twitter posts a month until early 2022... don't look at them ?

Washington Hawgs vs Hogs. Which do you prefer ?
