Should have just kept WFT - it's become kinda cool after the initial awkwardness

I agree. It has a clean, simple quality to it. Very throwback feel.

Pretty sure that historically, Washington was the most racist franchise in the NFL, aside from the Redskins nickname (racist owner George Preston Marshall, last team to integrate, etc.).  I honesty believe a great nickname (although I admit WFT kind of grows on you) would be the Redtails to honor the WWII Tuskegee Airmen.  It would be a way to make amends in a small way.

I am not a fan of the Washington Football Team name, glad to see the team getting an actual name. I'll be interested to see what they've come up with, but I think it's time to turn the page. Good luck to them in the future! (Except for when they play the Bills).

I agree.  It grew on me pretty quickly and I love the simplicity of it.

Sounds like it will be the Red Tails per NFL radio

Read somewhere recently that the 2 rumored finalists were red wolves and commanders.

I've heard rumors that the name "Red Wolves" is a strong candidate as well as "Commanders".    I'm not crazy about Red Wolves but I've seen some uniform mock ups for Commanders and it actually looks kinda' cool.

How about Washington Whiteskins? Is anyone offended by this? 

Which Native Americans? How many? Two out of two million? Please do your research and use your God given brain? Two drunken Irishmen can sue Notre Dame to change there name, even though 99% approve.

In this study 1000 Native Americans were interviewed, half were offended by the Redskins name. Last time I checked 500 was more than 2 and 50% was more than 1%. Furthermore, being of Irish descent, I’m offended by your propagation of an Irish stereotype.

I hope they go with Commanders. Red Wolves/Tails is kind of corny imo. 

I agree. I get the history behind the name Red Tails, but it doesn’t scream football team name to me.

The video explains why Redwolves is not an option
