WFT to have new name and logo on Feb. 2nd

[Brand J]

“Commanders” wasn’t one of the many names trademarked by that Macauly guy? That’s surprising. 

[TheBrownBear]

How about Lobbyists?

[Bigvinny]

Admirals

[frostbitmic]

 

 

The Washington team that sucks at football ... or simply the WTF

The Washington Monuments

The Washington Insurrection

The Washington Weasels

The Washington Wankers

The Washington Doves ... I'll bet that name would offend people too.

 

 

I admit that I still call them the Skins or the WTF's and probably always will no matter what they rebrand themselves as.

The Washington McWashingtonfaces. 

[Poleshifter]

Virginia Redskin Peanuts!

 

Even though they play in Maryland.

 

DC is going to become a bird sanctuary anyway. Maybe they can play off of that theme.

I thought this would be a good chance to get rid of the "Washington" part and go with something like the D.C. Destroyers or D.C. Dawgs.

[Bookie Man]

I know it's not in contention, but I always thought the Washington Warriors would be a good name. Plus, it wouldn't drastically change the notion of the previous mascot, for those who wanted to hang on to it.

A pretty good thought!

I'm thinking they got with Washington RedHogs. Keeps the HTTR theme they have intact. Pays homage to the "Hogs". Little pig merchandising. Fans just say "The Hogs". Seems to fit well.

Would the “reds” have been acceptable? Like Cincinnati? I feel like that would have kind of sounded enough like the old name to where the transition would be easy.

[Plano]

It's going to be the "DC Redskins" 

[dpberr]

If I was Daniel Snyder, it'd be the Washington L'Enfants and my mascot would be a guy dressed like an 18th Century aristocratic Frenchman who hurls spicy insults with a French accent like Sacha Baron Cohen did in Talladega Nights.  He'd essentially have a WWE entrance to every home game.

Errrr…. That might bring up a little too much McCarthy era flashbacks.

[BillsfaninSB]

I have heard it will be the Washington Armada.

 

I always liked the USFL Washington Federals.

Possible leak shared on a uni page, fwiw:

 

A comment below said, “Knowing football fans, I expect them to be called the Rear Admirals within a few minutes of the debut” if this is in fact what they go with.

They should go with the D.C. Generals and call their new stadium “The Little Big Horn” where they’ll continue to get massacred every week!

Washington Tax and Spenders? Washington Snyders? Washington Mofo's

Interesting.

 

I kind of like the Admirals.

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

 

"nomenclature"?

 

thanks for the good laugh.
