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

One way or another, they'll be the Red Tails. They get spanked each week.

I have it on good authority that it's the Washington Tunnel Railings and that stunt this week was engineered to tip us off.

They need to come up with a name that sells merchandise.  I'm sure that is the  number one goal and they have done a bunch of studies.

While that is true in a way so is the fact that Redskin is a derogatory name for Native North Americans.

 

Indigenous peoples is now the preferred nomenclature according to my daughter's elementary school teacher.

I think they should have just kept name Redskins and change logo to a redskin potatoe.... kinda like how Syracuse switched from Orangemen to the Orange

All the options are awful, and sound like the create a team options in Madden.

I like the "What F**k The" initials. They Should keep it 

More like "Who's F*****g Team?" Dan F*****g Snyder's!

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

I mean it's not like it's really going away, people are going to call them the WTFs for forever now.

 

Redtails kind of feels like they're pandering.

Which is very on-brand for Dan Snyder.

Redtails is cool, but did not hear that on the list of finalists WGR mentioned this morning.

 

Red Hogs was one.

 

Red Wolves is a fan favorite but out because of trademark issues.
 

Then a bunch of DC/military names like Brigade, Commanders, Presidents, etc., and apparently the logo tease has 3 stars so it’ll likely be one of these.

If the recent rumors are true, it will be Commanders since the (Red)Wolves was eliminated due to trademark issues. Commanders is okay I suppose. They could have done a lot worse (and still might.)

Yep. And Snyder probably would have if he could have trademarked the name. 

[transient]

I think they should embrace their dysfunction and change it to Washington "WTF"EF - What The FedExField. It could be the next pop-culture euphemism like "Shut the front door."

How has the thread not been locked yet?

The Groundhogs?

Have you asked a native American their view on the subject? NOPE. Redskins is derogatory but BLM isnt?

 

Yes, spoken to several, including a close friend of mine.

 

They all agree that while the “Braves” & “Chiefs” monikers  may have some gray areas to them, there’s no debate that the term “Redskins” is derogatory.

 

It’s ok to correct certain mistakes and learn and grow as a society without shouting “cancel culture”. Try it sometime.

The Washington Generals seems about right. Under Snyder, the team has been a laughingstock for 3 decades.  

[benderbender]

Power move would be for Snyder to announce it's the Redskins again

Or kept the name and had no logo and insisted they were now named after a potato.
