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!

It'll take months to sort through the name alone, let alone getting a logo and associated branding in place that you don't regret in a year. After that, they have to print new signs, business cards, modify uniforms...it's a lot.

I was surprised when they said they wanted to get it done this year because it's just not that easy most of the time.

Gravedigger 07-23-2020 03:24 PM
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.

kevrunner 01-04-2022 11:48 PM
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.
