Irv Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 I don’t get it. They could be selling jerseys and swag like crazy if they just picked a new name. Seems like a huge missed opportunity.
eball Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 I have it on good authority they will return as the Washington Ruby Epidermises. That will look awesome on a t-shirt. 1
H2o Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 This is probably part of the reason, on top of the fact Snyder is just a douche. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/washington-redskins-name-trademark-martin-mccaulay/ 1 1 1
TAinLack. Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 (edited) They are beyond any suitable names but I have a few choice ones that I will not mention in this forum!!! Edited March 24, 2021 by TAinLA
The Red King Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 The new unis actually grew on me. I could see keeping them. But yeah, that W goes with Washington so they really could pick any name. Sticking with WFT is just petty.
Mr. WEO Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 I couldn't sleep over this last night either. 1 12
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 They might as well just leave it as the Washington football team now. Should have taken a day to come up with a name. It’s been a year. Just forget it 2
BarleyNY Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 There’s been some speculation that Snyder will sell the team. If that’s true it would makes sense to hold off and allow the new owner to name the team. 1
cd1 Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 Every time I see WFT, I first read it as WTF. I guess it is all the same... 😉 5 7 8 2
auburnbillsbacker Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 I really like the name "Football Team". It's kind of funny and has interesting history behind it. 2
gjv001 Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 It's Synders way of a "stick in your eye" for forcing me to change the name. 2 3
IgotBILLStopay Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 (edited) I think the team is profiting from the novelty value of the WFT name. Why not milk it to the full? And they preserve the option value of a new name with extra Jersey sales etc. An option is only valuable so long as it has not been exercised Edited March 24, 2021 by IgotBILLStopay 1
JMF2006 Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 They wanted the Senators but it is taken then thought about using Congressmen but they were split on the vote Then they were going with Bullets but had a wait a minute moment Then it was on to the Generals(it fit too well) 1 1
ALLEN1QB Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 Instead of WFT just put WTF on the helmet. 1 1 2
Greg S Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 The Caps should change their name to Washington Hockey Team and the Nats to the Washington Baseball Team. 1
Southern_Bills Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 I actually think Washington Football Team is cool. I wouldn't change it just to have a goofy mascot. 1 2
4_kidd_4 Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 I like the simplicity of the name and the look. They should just keep it. 5

When this name change stuff first happened I thought they were going to go with Redtails. Close to the Redskins name. 1
SoCal Deek Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 Most English football teams (soccer) go by nothing more than the name of the town and they’re some of the oldest/richest franchises in sports. For example: Liverpool Football Club, etc. You get used to it. 1
