Livinginthepast Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 The Generals name is taken by the basketball team that loses to The Globetrotters but it is highly appropriate for Snyder's team's era of futility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Admirals eh? That's pretty feeble. Who associates Washington with the Navy? Maybe if your target fanbase are the Royal Navy, since they sailed up the Chesapeake and set the place on fire? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albany,n.y. Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 (edited) I want them to be the Washington Hogs. I still get a laugh thinking of Chuck Dickerson mocking them out & snorting like a pig.

It'd be appropriate on a few levels: First, that all politicians love pork. And second, like politicians, hogs will eat each other when hungry.

Nextmanup Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I still say "RED TAILS" is the way to go. It has a construct that is consistent with the old name, it honors black veterans in a predominantly black town that is also the seat of our federal government and military with zillions of military living in the area at any moment in time, and it gives rise to having really cool logo possibilities with a P-51 mustang. It's almost perfect. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Washington Patriots. 1. Removes some of the taint of politics in D.C.; patriot vs. politician. 2. If it was good enough for the CFL, it's good enough for the NFL. 3. New England gets extra conditional draft picks for name infringement. 4. 1ManRaid posted right above me. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCOrange Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 20 minutes ago, 1ManRaid said: There's apparently leaked images of parts of the jersey design that indicate it will be a military theme. Red Tails isn't even on the short list of names reported this morning. They aren't leaks. WFT posted a video showing a sneak peek of the jerseys. It isn't necessarily military themed (though I think that's most likely); the stars and stripes on the jersey likely represent the DC flag (and potentially has a double meaning tying the military in). The phrasing of their hype video, saying the team will launch in February or whatever might indicate that it's plane related, in which the Washington Armada would be pretty much the only finalist that makes sense.
