  1. A "red tail" is what you have after your butt gets kicked. I don't know how Armada and Brigade rose to the top 8. Presidents and Defenders don't cut it. Of the rumored top 3, go with Wolves (don't add "red"), but it has no real connection to the city. Time to open that WFT thread again?
  2. They were pushed into doing it, but the fact remains they did it (while the KC Chiefs lay low without any outcry). Again, it goes back to how they rebrand it. They could use a different symbol altogether. The Pentagon is full of warriors, it's not unique to Natives. Dozens of examples here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warrior If Warrior has the historical context you claim, then GS should not be allowed to use it, voluntary rebranding or not. Whatever. Don't give me Red Wolves which no one associates with DC.
  3. Pretending? Like Golden State does? They were able to rebrand the name, but that point keeps getting ignored because of Washington's long history with the word that shall not be named. Saying it would be different for Washington if it were done years earlier makes no sense.
  4. As Golden State proved, there are ways to use it that wouldn't be a "back door." They are already using a "W" logo. which could mean either "Washington" or "Warriors." If one were to look for "back doors, " the burgundy color may also be problematic since it goes back to the color of the last mascot. Warriors is far better than Red Wolves which is another reach just to use the "R."
  5. Point taken, silly of me not to recall a logo from 1962 & 1968. There was this one more recent than those anyway. It shows that being a warrior does not have to be Native inspired.
  6. Golden State Warriors have never used any native iconography. For Washington to assume warriors must equate only to a reference to Native Americans is more insulting. Don't believe me? Ask these guys
  7. Since the Ravens use the actual colors of their mascot, then make the beak on the Raven black as well, and again, lose the "B" on the helmet.
  8. The Ravens have had a purple jersey since day one in 1996. A different shade of purple helmet is a bridge too far? Whatever monopoly some think Minnesota has on purple is long gone.
  9. I don't see why the league which has 5 teams in white helmets, 4 teams in black helmets is fine, but a second team in purple isn't. Baltimore could use a different shade of purple, just as the 49ers and Saints don't use the same gold, for example. That said, I'd rather they come up with a less cartoonish bird without the "B" , which is already used on their pants, then worry about another color.
  10. Here's your chance, Washington.
