I'm surprised how quick this was. I thought they would wait to announce until they had a logo and jerseys and everything. Who knows, maybe they got that done extremely fast as well.


I tend to think they had a contingency plan for years juuuuust in case the outrage reached a tipping point. Probably just needed to get the gears  in motion to get it finalized and approved by the league.

They have trademarks applied for at US Patent and Trademark Office but to keep reporters off track they filed more than one.

Cannot tell any more due to work rules:

A lot more combinations.

They aren't changing colors, so the uniforms probably stay the same.  They probably already have a logo too.  Due to the circumstances surrounding the change I'm sure the league protocols for changing names/logos were relaxed.

Sure! That won’t offend any one -just Everyone.

 

Senators has also been used by the city in past times.  How ‘bout the Congress? 

 

Reminded me of Gridlock. Great reference to congress......

 

So, my final entry is Gridiron. Washington Gridiron is awesome. But nobody ever asked me ever! ?

If Snyder rushes this he’s going to eff it up.  They should play this season (if there is one) as simply “Washington” and get it right (name, logo, colors).


It’s a sports name. LOL I’m sure the week plus he had was plenty of time to figure something out that shouldn’t take months. Though, it wouldn’t surprise me if they delay a bit And just drop Resdkins, but it will be done before training camp.

LOL all you want.  I don’t think you are really looking at everything that goes into a decision like this.  It’s the NFL, not some rinky-dink startup league, and you’re dealing with a historic franchise.

 

I still think Snyder will eff it up anyway.

I wonder how much say Rivera actually has in 'working closely' with Snyder to develop a new name and design. Given' Li'l Dummy's track record, Rivera is likely to be gone in two or three years.

Washington Americans would be pretty good.  
 

and they are going to make a ton of money with this.

Yeah, it’s kinda weird a coach would have this much say.  Open it up to the fans to suggest things and then do a public poll of season ticket holders.

 

i don’t know why some of these teams make it so much harder than it needs to be.

You really don’t get the difference between the 2 names?

"eff it up"....how, exactly?  By giving them a terrible name?  They are currently "the Redskins".

"Hey, you remember how our old team name was a racial slur? Yeah, the Seminole Tribe is who we were referencing."

“Washington Americans”  as said earlier, it works, its easy, and its a gimme for a marketing team, it will show inclusivity and national pride, etc etc. 

 

...but as said above Snyder being the tool that he is, will likely miss a huge opportunity.

Haha.  Yeah, I believe the specific tribe ones are fine and I believe the tribes are on board.  Braves and Chiefs are positive names.  The only one I think that is real questionable are the teams named for an idiot who thought he was in India. 
 

Buffalo Bill was also a giant scumbag.

The Washington Americans could have some sick unis and they get to stick it to the Cowboys.

 

it would be a win-win.
