Nextmanup Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 (edited) This is weird now. Pick a new name and move on. I thought the "Red Tails" was a great idea; easily transferable to cool logos, ties in the history of the Redskin name, but updates it to go from being racially biased to racially accepting....and the football team sits in one of the largest black communities in the country. You could even keep red as a dominant color in the uniform scheme. Just do it already! Edited October 21, 2020 by Nextmanup 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills fan since 87 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I've grown to kind of like it, kinda like how FC is on the end of some soccer teams.. I say run with it, it's a new school name that sounds old school for and old school franchise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullBuchanan Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 they should just make it permanent. It could be a cool name to own. I bet College kids that are fans of "THE University of [name]" could get down with it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WFT is just dumb. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColoradoBills Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I like it. Brings some sort of balance to the whole issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
416BillsFan Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Washington Roughriders? At one point 2 of 9 CFL teams were Roughriders. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianthomas Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I've been calling the WFT the WTF's. Its slowly catching on. To me the WTF moniker just makes too much sense. They're really that bad WTF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LABILLBACKER Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Redtails made the most sense. You could keep the colors and R logo. I know they were never going to rush into selecting a name. They factor in polls etc. Probably be unveiled in the spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Nails Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I think they should just put a question mark after their current team name. Washington Football Team? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
