The Washington Redstains

My dog would be a perfect model for the mascot.

I see what you did there... I want to unsee it!

Lol! I meant to give this a thumbs up!

What if they just renamed the team after a SINGLE, badass, historic Native American?

Like, what if the descendants of Red Cloud and the Lakota were like, "Wow, that's a great honor!"

The Washington Red Clouds.

They don't even have to change the logo, really.

That would be cool. But the SJW beta cacks would still start crying and throwing a fit again.

I mean, total pipe dream and they wouldn't touch the idea, but if the family and the tribespeople were behind it, there's not much ground to stand on.

It's no different than naming a team after Joe Louis, in the case of the Browns.

Most people don't realize that, but it's the case. (at least Paul Brown himself said so. The team later backtracked this publicly as the name was based on his skin color and nickname, "The Brown Bomber")

Naming a team after a person for their bravery, legend, honor, etc. is very different than naming your team after an entire people.

I get ya, but the thing is that original Redskins name was also looked at as a symbol of pride by many native americans. Native americans were actually drawn to like that team because of that name and the fact there was 4 native americans on that team in the 1930's and they themselves wanted that name. But unfortunately although your idea is cool and would be unique, it's 2020 and the SJW's would come running again. I'm sure one day they'll have a problem with the name "Browns" too. Just give it time.

You should see Twitter.

People are calling for the Vikings to rename the team based on the fact that the real, actual, Norse Vikings burned and pillaged the whole of Europe a thousand years ago.

It's insane.

COVID needs to end so some of these folks can set their manufactured outrage aside and go back to their jobs at the Hot Yoga Studio.

I don't particularly care about what "SJWs" think, but I do care about what Native Americans think. You're probably right that perceptions have changed, but that happens.

I think the mindset has changed towards the name over time as people who weren't involved in the early ongoings of the founding of the name aren't as in tune with the beginning nature of what it originally represented to those natives who were a part of that community at the time.

I did read your article though. Thanks for sharing.

Washington has decided to rename itself to...... just Washington, for now. Pending their decision on a new name.

Go Washington Football Team!!!

LMAO

A big **** you to the PC police...

"Team" will turn out to be the Shoshone word for genocide, I bet.

Exactly what this is. Hilarious.

This is a very accurate team name. Good job, good affert

Didn't Washington own slaves?

Man, I can't wait for football season. cool weather, chili, watching my Washington Football Team, and some cold drinks.
http://thenewportblast.com/wp-conten...3776833175.jpg

It would be kind of cool if they just went full generic for a season. Not even a pronoun to describe someone.

Announcer: Here we are, on a nice cool day at Washington Football Stadium. The offense is on the field, and the quarterback is behind center. Here's the snap, and the quarterback drops back. The quarterback looks, throws, and it's caught by the tight end! The tight end jukes and stiffarms the opposing left inside linebacker. The tight end is running down the field, and the tight end has one opposing player to beat. That player is the strong safety, and the strong safety makes the tackle at the 1!"

Mmmmmm....beer.

Honestly I kind of like it...

Imagine if the Skins won the Super Bowl and all the merch says:

SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS
WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM
*no logo*

I would be PISSED if I was one of the Hogs.

2021 - Upon further review The Washington Football Team is sticking with the same name that was used in 2020.

Soon they will have to drop Washington and DC.

It will be football team

Awesome

So they are the Washington TBD’s.

They could go the international futbol way and call themselves Washington FC.

Just need a nice bag of baked, lightly salted coiled bread type snack food to go with them and you have a wonderful night ahead of you in the current country you reside in! Whatever country it is, it’s no better or worse than other countries in any way!

Are you Mexican or Spanish? It’s called football around the world, not “futbol” except in only a few countries lmao. Then you guys us and the Canadians who call it soccer.

Soccer, futbol, football... who gives a shit.

Some T-shirt company sold 1500 T-shirts of this in one week.

1, 4, 5, 6, 3, 2

Who could have seen it coming...?

I mean what else are they realistically supposed to do, they are demanded to change their name, file patents, copyrights, print merch, change uniforms, change helmets, and just so many things that come with a brand change of this magnitude. This is them saying, "Back off, we'll get it later this year, no need to rush this." I'm a fan of this, looks old school for now. This kind of gear will sell like hotcakes because of the likely one year it will be in circulation before being cut off.

...and yet the domain name is still redskins.com

Maybe the Washington NoNames can get Garmin as their new sponsor, that way they'll never have to explain the obvious when things aren't working.

February 2nd is when Washington is going to announce their new team name. They picked groundhog’s day to do this, some think they chose this day because somehow Hog will be in the name. Maybe Washington Red Hogs, that sounds awful. Their offensive line was nickname the Hogs when they were dominating the NFL. Any legitimate guesses. They announced Red Wolves will not be chosen.

The Sentinels

Doesn't Fedex sponsor some "Ground player" award? Groundhogs will placate their corporate sponsor and their elderly fan base that actually thinks that John Riggins was a good running back.

The Washington Overworked And Underpaid While Pay Cuts Continue And With Deminishing Benefits .

Hard to believe Riggins was a track star in high school, I think he won the Kansas state title in the 100 yard dash, ran it in 9.8 seconds. He was good with the Jets too, not just Washington. But he definitely wasn’t in the class of an Earl Campbell or Walter Payton. I think the best RB Washington had in the super bowl era was Larry Brown, but that’s just my opinion, not too many people agree with me on that. I’m not sure if FedEx will be a sponsor still when they move to a new stadium, so I’m don’t think the team name will be chosen with any regard for FedEx. Washington Post had a article a couple weeks ago that Washington team representatives were in discussions with Northern Virginia representatives, about building a dome stadium.

FWIW, the website www.washingtonadmirals.com was a direct link to the WFT website until they changed it. Some fool may have already spoiled it lol.

RedWolves has a nice ring to it...

Already been ruled out.

Washington Reeruns

Surprised Snyder didn’t rebrand them as the Washington Eat My ass, Biotch

My guy in DC says most folks up there think it's going to be the Red Tails. Zero inside knowledge, and he doesn't shop at the Dollar Store with Dan Snyder.

Since their team color is actually burgundy and gold, the should be the Washington Burgundy and their Helmet Decal and Mascot can be Ron Burgundy from Anchorman.

Washington Continentals would be fire. Historical and badass.

Plus, around 10% of the Continental Army was black so they can appease the SJW posse.

Probably too close to the Patriots, though. Just something military would be cool.

Boomer Essiason just ruined the surprise. It’s the Admirals

RedWolves was what won in most polls and I think that’s the name that would have been chosen, but it was something that was determined too hard to get trademarked.

Could be worse.

Not sure how it could get much worse than this.

Embarrassing

Should have just stuck with WFT

agreed, I actually like WFT and their unis..

Redtails would've been much worse

I doubt the colors change at all. Just the logo.

Admirals isn't too bad of a name. Could have been worse.

Redtails would have been bad to me because it reminds of how Miami Ohio and Arkansas State were forced by the NCAA to change their Indian inspired names. So they went to Redhawks and Red Wolves. Just a desperate attempt to keep the old moniker alive with a generic animal choice.

Admirals without any blue coloring just feels strange.

Washington Admirals doesn't exactly roll off the tongue

Should have been the Feds

Lame.

The Seattle Kraken was probably the last new team name that I really liked. Cool logo too.

I was really into the University of North Dakota Ermines, but the leadership of the university had no artistic sensibilities at all.

Better than a WNBA team name.

I hate mascots that don't end in an s.

Your team is made up of players. Each player has a mind, body, and makes his own decisions. Together, they act individually, but work as a TEAM.

They're not a substance. Or an idea. Your kicker is not some idea. It's not a "dream" or a "liberty."

RealSNRS

I can do it if you want me to, lol

Admirals is lame. After hearing about what Jag fans are doing this week, I really think Washington should have gone with "Washington Clownshow". Just imagine all you could do with that. The crowd could dress up and the pan around the stands would be nightmare fuel for all opposing players and fans.

Plus, it's more intimidating to know that you're about to play the Washington Football Teams.

I'm still really pissed about that.

Everybody in town still wears Fighting Sioux gear. Because Fighting Hawks is the dumbest thing they could have come up with. When I saw that was one of the names that made the cut to 20 or whatever it was, I thought that was some kind of joke, like every person on the committee said, "Hey, wouldn't it be funny if I voted for the worst one?"

This is how we will one day have Seymour Butts as president, people.

It would still be better than Red Tails. If my football team changed their name to that, I'd switch teams.

(And I don't care about the history or politics. I'm just talking about the name "Red Tails". It's a terrible name.)

Washington RealSNRs? That sounds flashy!

good. that's our name when they force the chiefs to change. kansas city red wolves. drink it in.

because our mascot is a nightmare wolf/raccoon hybrid. it fits.

The Washington Carvers was a missed opportunity

I'm convinced that if they had gone with Ermines they would be one of the top college athletic programs in the country right now.

I like Avalanche, because your team can act like a massive pile of snow and destroy other teams in its path.

I actually like Redtails. Really, I liked all of the "Red" names I heard thrown around: Redwolves, Redtails, Redhawks (that's a new one but sounds cool enough).

Admirals isn't bad. Commanders wouldn't have been terrible either.
