Pick your poison - what do you want the new name to be?

That's a red tailed hawk. A group of them are still red tailed Hawks.

That could be my breaking point. I'm already over the whole PC crowd pushing people around.

 

[Boone]

I don’t think there’s much chance of it being Redtails. But we’ve already had a name celebrating an ethnic group for nearly our entire history so not sure why this would be different?

Tuskegee isn't in DC. It's in Alabama. We already have enough bama players on our team.

 

[Boone]

Yeah - I don’t get why we’d go that route either - just another ‘it’s got red in it’ option. I’m equally puzzled by folks wanting ‘Redhogs’ - what the hell is a redhog anyway?!??

 

[Knightingale]

I don't think we're getting a 'RED' name. I think that ship has sailed.
I do think it'll be military themed.

Commanders sounds okay I guess, but how do you abbreviate it? Washington Comms? (Sounds like a newspaper.)
Admirals? Washington Ads? (sounds like an advertising agency)

 

[SkinsOrlando]

If we're going to be true to DC origins I want Washington Crack Mayors

 

[Boone]

Commanders
Admirals
Armada

Those 3 are sad. I could live with Sentinels, Defenders, maybe Brigade although it’s also pretty weak.

 

[Chris]

2.2.22 is Groundhog Day and falls on a Wednesday. Nothing special ever happens on a Wednesday. Unless it’s hog related? Warthogs? 🤔

 

[Chris]

If it is 1 of the 3 Boone listed I would release it on a Friday at 5pm.

 

[SkinsOrlando]

Manbearpigs??

Just call ourselves the razorbacks

This fan-produced version will probably exceed anything the team could come up with

I made some votes but I don't really care.

This whole 'wait for it ...' nonsense is REALLY annoying. We're not electing the fucking Pope here.

Just pick. A. Name.

Stop trying to generate hype over this. It's been two years. Just stop.

 

[Henry]

Here's a better analogy. Your daughter is 12 and you remarry. Your new spouse says her name reminds her of your old wife, and demands she change it. You'll have to get used to your new little angel - Mildred.

That's what this is like for me

Actually, an even BETTER analogy would be your daughter is 12, and SHE decides she doesn't like her given name so she asks to be called Mildred.

A friend of mine says he's hoping for Commanders because then we can refer to every player as "Commander <last name>"

"Commander Gibson, down the sidelines ... TOUCHDOWN!"

And it’s so ****ing obvious that fans are not going to be ‘hyped’, are sick and tired of getting jerked around, and want it over with - yet Wright just continues on with the nonsense. I am almost convinced he’s enjoying all of the uproar.

The funny thing is that this subject is the only thing they have going. This thread alone is the only one here in weeks that has garnered even modest fan attention.

The organization is like a girl posting provocative photos online to feel relevant.
