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...

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...

CountDorkula Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I had a feeling that this would become permanent. IMO its a big middle finger by Snyder who didnt want to change the name at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4_kidd_4 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I actually really like it as is. Clean and simple, even got to keep the classic looking uniforms, sans helmet logo. I’d put the “W” they’re using on one side of the helmet and the player number on the other. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batmanfreek Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I would keep it. It’s simple and classic. The only people that would be upset are the ones who were upset with the original name and wanted a change to something they wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroutDog Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I have a very close friend who is native. I asked him about this particular situation. While he didn’t have a problem with it, most on his reservation do...therefore he is behind the name change. I for one always viewed it as an honor to how hard native people fought...but I’m of Irish decent thus very white. Thankfully, I was raised with an open mind. I like WFT (or, for comedic value, as previously mentioned, WTF). At any rate, whatever Snyder chooses, I hope it is with serious thought and consideration.

Luka Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Washington Warthogs as in the A10 Warthog. Silver Sharktooth helmet with the Olive drab would look good. Appropriate name, not offensive to anyone, perfect for a team based in the military capital of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) Can they even use the name "Washington" anymore? I heard he owned slaves. They should drop that too and just be called the "Football Team". Also, red is a pretty aggressive color. Reminds me of blood. They should go for a less intrusive, safer color like gray.
