They go from fighting tooth and nail to keep the former name (of which they allowed the TM to lapse) and now they are having difficulties in trade marking the new generic name. To be honest, I kind of like WFT. Edit: oh, by the way, this has nothing to do with Covid or Beasley so this thread has that going for it. 😃 I like WFT. Washington Football Club is a touch better, but hey we can't have it all. I could see how it's hard to market though. 3 minutes ago, eball said: Washington Football Club would be a good permanent name.

But I like the thought. How ‘bout The Marshals? Gives credence to police, D.C. and would be named after original owner George Preston Marshall. I’m guessing police branding isn’t really a super desirable thing at the moment not meant as a political debate on whether it should be or not 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chandler#81 Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 1 hour ago, machine gun kelly said: I’ll say something I almost never do, but respectfully disagree. The Tuskegee Airmen were one of the most heroic stories on WW2, and broke the barrier as you guys may know allowing African American men to be pilots which then sparked the development of the Air Force division post WW2. Not the only reason, but it’s cited as one of many contributing factors. This embodies heroism, courage, and progress. Redskin is pretty obvious as a derogatory depiction of native Americans. I just read a story in Forbes of he is one of the grandsons of one of the Redtails. He went on and on what pride of his country, his football team, and what a positive symbol of the progress our country has evolved to name the nations capital after those brave war hero’s. Besides, can you imagine how they could play it up with one of those vintage planes at the front of the stadium, doing a fly by before games with those Redtails planes. It would be a marketing bonanza for a team that is just getting over a scandal on top of the public pressure to change the name. Lastly, most of the articles I’ve read have stated in polling the two names with the most fan appeal in the Washington area are the Redtails, and the Red Wolves. I know this. They’re certainly a better reference than Redskins vs Paleskins. Redskins had some very prominent figures as well. It’s STILL an ethnic reference which I’ll be surprised if they dare go that route again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also dig their vanilla helmets...a real throwback which I appreciate. I actually really like their color scheme and throwback helmets.

F.C. is in the name of some of the most famous other football teams i.e. Liverpool F.C. Which could help the NFL's marketing efforts to increase popularity in European soccer markets... And F.C. is an homage to D.C in the name of thier city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tie it in somehow with Rangers, and maybe you can get Chuck Norris. Then again, Chuck Norris never does endorsements. 🤨 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
