Washington Football Team may have 8 names to choose from....what's your pick?

[L.A.Lion]

I kind of like RedHogs.

Meh. For a team name that's pretty boaring.

Wright said they consulted a bit with the Cleveland baseball ownership and think it’s important to have a name that is meaningful and tied to the geography or history of a program. Makes me think a lot of those names floating around aren’t it.

Pssst . . . that spelling was intentional.

 

[BUFFALO LION]

I picked "Commanders". Seemed like the most offensive to the people that made us dump "Redskins".

I’d go with johnmpsu’s suggestion of Warriors. Keep the burgundy and gold and a spear or arrow emblem.

 

[Midnighter2]

Oh - I’m tracking…

 

[We Are . . .]

Meh. For a team name that's pretty boaring.

I get it! I get it!

 

[L.A.Lion]

The Hogettes' Pig Pen should be replaced with the Prepuce Pen.

 

[BlueLion]

The Washington Elites

 

[RGWhirly]

Washington Team Football (WTF)

 

[83wuzme]

Grifters

 

[BUFFALO LION]

Ya. I would go with that too, but it wasn't an option.

Funny thing about that is that one of our local high school's nickname is the Warriors. When New York state told them they had to change the name a few years ago because it was "offensive" to Native Americans, the school told them to f-ck off. Why??? Because they WERE Native Americans! The high school sits right in the middle of the Seneca Indian Reservation in Salamanca.

 

[GSPMax]

Nobody suggested "Foreskins" or did I miss it?

 

[WaylonJ]

Washington Football Team is perfect. Soon to be replaced by White Founders Football Team. Washington was Hitler. He's gotta go.

The sooner the team is out from under the heel of oppression the sooner we can get back to America.

 

[HazletonLion]

Reds

 

[N&B4PSU]

Put Redskins on the list and vote again. Put all the names on the list and let the people in the greater DC area vote on it. My money is on the Redskins. Rest of the names blow... but maybe that's the point.

 

[Aardvark86]

I have the winner right here:

 

[Aardvark86]

I like the Swampsters

To much mussel shoals trademark risk.

 

[mrmk5110]

The Washington 7and9ers

 

[Parkland Fan]

The Washington 7and9ers

Washington Weeds.
It's alliterative.
It will create fear in their opponents' fan bases.
Weeds cannot be destroyed. At least in my yard.
Weeds are always spreading.
Weeds have roots that go to middle earth.
A new cheer to replace "Go Skins" . "Grow Weeds grow".
And since "weed" has a second meaning, it will inspire a lot of new fans which will lead to an increase in apparel sales.
It's a no brainer. Especially if the owners like to get high.

 

[KC-KS-Lion]

What will the new name be? If the leaked report is true, this is a weak list. They must have secured the web presence and the trademarks for all of them. I kind of like RedHogs.

Impeached Presidents, Short Man's Syndrome Play Toys

 

[RiskyBusinessPSU]

I like the steers. No one in DC has any balls.

 

[lions1995]

Should have just kept Redskins

Or AmeriKKKa.

 

[CF LION]

I like the Swampsters

Or the Swampers.....they've been known to pick a song or two.

 

[Nitt1300]

Or AmeriKKKa.

thin skinned white folks

 

[#1PSU]

I think they should drop the color from the old name and go with Skinners.

just skins-but this is ridiculous wtf

 

[bison13]

Cherry blossoms...
They're only good to see one week a year.

 

[blion72]

just skins-but this is ridiculous wtf

honestly this is as good as any. I am not a fan of this team and have no dog in this hunt. however, the fact that this is even going on is disgusting. Whenever there public/fan polls on this type of thing, it shows the desire for these name changes is driven by a small minority of vocal people - some not even fans. why do we care about them?

 

[interrobang]

The best one is from a couple years ago, from of all places, PETA

 

[Wallace Breen]

I think it should the Washington Corruption or Washington Parasites.

 

[HazletonLion]

Pandas

 

[njlion]

Frankly if they want to be true to their DC roots the should be the Washington Corruption

 

[NittanyBuff24]

Those names are all awful, I still think "Warriors" makes all the sense in the world.. Sit down with Native leaders, much like FSU and iron that baby out. Snyder dragging his feet has been been a giant middle finger to the league and I rather enjoy that..

 

[PrtLng Lion]

Is there any name that won’t offend SOMEONE? They could be named the Thinskins which would represent a big percentage of the publicly vocal crowd.

 

[walleye38]

How about the Washington Redskins

 

[WDLion]

I think it should the Washington Corruption or Washington Parasites.

Blood Sucking Leaches.

 

[tullfan68]

dont like any of them since its dc either conmen or robbers!!

 

[BrucePa]

Yes, I get that Washington DC comes off as scum and corruption throughout the rest of the country, but let's please keep in mind that this scum and corruption comes to Washington DC from every state, with plenty of scum and corruption fueled by those local special interests....end of soap box rant.

 

[HazletonLion]

I was trying to be sarcastic in some of my responses , but in all seriousness pick an animal , something like Leopards, Otters, Grizzlies, Elks, etc. It"s that simple.
