It's clearly the best combo of team history/cool logo potential/uniqueness compared to other teams. Actually really like this one. Logo is dope. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DontTazeMeBro Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Presidents would be hands down the worst sports team name ever. And about a quarter of them were complicit in the genocide of the Indians so it would be completely counterproductive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time I see it shortened to "WFT" I somehow see the initials WTF first, instead. So you're saying they should change the name to the Washington TerraFarmers?

Dr LBC Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 2 hours ago, Pugger said: Why do you think it is cringy? Just curious... Specifically Armada? Because it's more kitsch than it is based in anything of relevance to the region. At best, they'd be trying to tie into the Maryland region with Annapolis and the US Naval Academy being there, but the US has never had an armada and the Navy never used the term armada, except to name a WW2 minesweeping ship the USS Armada. Legitimately, though more people would connect it with being "the name from the movie" calling them the Washington Sentinels, like the team from the movie the Replacements, would make more sense in that it would pay tribute to the 3rd Army Regiment, also known as The Old Guard and the escort to the president, which was originally based out of Fort Myer in Virginia as one of their best known divisions are the sentinels of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First thing that comes to mind when I hear Armada is the Spanish Armada. Why go from Redskins to a name that is also linked with a troubling colonial past?

Fits the organization from the top down perfectly IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armadas are something that's been around far more times than just the Spanish one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thelonebillsfan Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I'd stick with the Football Team cause I think it's neat and different compared to other NA sports teams with their stupid naming conventions but they definitely won't do that.

Also keeps the Franchise in the spotlight rather then an afterthought. Would anyone outside of their fan base think twice about WTF in February without this "new name change"?
