I think he'll use Military imagery (or animals) and get away from Native American themes. Some have said it was too late to change the colors and uniforms. But they can still change the name and logo. They’re not going to change the colors, so that takes away a big change. The players can still wear the same exact uniforms just w/ a different logo on the helmet, like a curly W (like the Nats have but in Burgundy, Gold or white like the prototypes I’ve posted) or whatever the first letter ends up being or logo and then take Redskins off of the jersey, those are two extremely easy things to accomplish.

Because it was, there was a Tampa Bay Vipers and they were the worst team in the XFL If I remember correctly. I was excited to see @naptownskinsfan boy Andy Murray play, but he was awful and got replaced by a guy I’ve never heard of at QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtle28 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 7 hours ago, Beast said: XFL was around for less than a year, so even if there is a reek, it'll go away so dang quickly.... But Vipers would go well with Virginia. Which let's be honest, they're probably not going to Virginia, and Dan Synder probably is NOT going to pick a more risky name. Which is why it's probably going to be Warriors (which he's linked and trademarked before planning to use in the AFL). Just trying to be more creative and interesting here. It's not everyday a team gets a new name. Speaking of which, let's look at the last couple of times it's happened. (Houston) Tennessee Oilers became the Tennessee Titans And indirectly the (I guess) the Cleveland Brown's (sorta unofficially) became the Baltimore Ravens. Also newer teams expansion teams (not recounting the Ravens) are 1976: The Seattle Seahawks and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers entered the league. 1995: The Carolina Panthers and the Jacksonville Jaguars became NFL teams. 2002: The Houston Texans Based on other teams semi-recent (in new NFL teams names wise), it seems likely that it's likely the team name will start with the same letter as the last or a generic human name... Washington Warriors, seems to do both of those. The precedent isn’t the same. The Redskins aren’t an expansion franchise, they’re deciding to change the team name for other reasons/being forced to by sponsors & public pressure. The current name starts with an R, so it makes as much sense to go with an R name as it does with a W name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtle28 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 (edited) Ok, let’s do a animals that start with W: • First, my personal favorite bc it represents our owner well is the WEASELS! Thats gotta be the #1 seed! • Warthogs (really this makes too much sense) • Wallaby - like a kangaroo 🦘, would be attractive to the kidos. • Walrus’s • Wasps 🐝 • Water Buffalo 🐃 • Water Dragon 🐉 • Whales 🐳 • White Rhinos 🦏 • White Tigers • Wild Boars 🐗 like a razorback • Wildcats 🐈 • Wildebeests • Wolverines • Wolves 🐺 • Woodpeckers • Wolly Mammoths - Logo could look like the character in ice age • Woombats Or, Wolfpack, Werewolves Edited July 11, 2020 by turtle28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its ridiculous. There's an article on ESPN that talks about how this process usually takes 1-2 YEARS not months. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/29433710/renaming-redskins-process-hurdles-possible-fallout 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worry about the merch, camera look and uniforms now. And the rest can have time. Just focus on letting the people see progress is happening. 2 months on just a name. Thats 6-7 weeks wasted already. Millions of pieces of merch that could have already been printed. All anyone sees now are delays and Dans once again dragging his feet as slow as humanly possible. It might take 1 or 2 years overall. But progress can be shown as happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he realizes it will take a while, his point is it shouldn’t bc it doesn’t take long in 2nd and 3rd would countries where we all know they have more laxed laws and that’s not going to change and, even that point seems debatable it’s a man educated guess that may or may not be true, I mean, have we studied that? I don’t think so. So, point taken PH, but that’s not changing so it is what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But progress can be shown as happening. They should definitely have the ball moving more quickly and for all we know they are but the new name hasn’t been reported yet. We are all guessing that they haven’t decided on something yet and that it’s not in process. That being said, I do agree that they likely don’t have agreement on team name and Dan is dragging his feet bc he’s really not that good of a business man. He made a lot of money in the 90s and everything he’s touched this century has gotten worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, it wouldn’t make Dwayne, Terry & Chase happy though which is the main reason it shouldn’t be an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I honestly don't know) True about the Titans. I don’t know if Dan cares about the team starring w/ an R or not either, but a team name starting w/ an R makes most sense I think. Our acronym from the team fight song is HTTR (Hail to the Redskins) so, that could easily be kept on Twitter and the R would just go for RedWolves, RedHawks, RedTails, Renegades etc. Edited July 11, 2020 by turtle28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
