Swiss Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 It isn't too bad to name them "Washington Grays".We can make justice with the legendary history of the Negroes Leagues (like KC Royals remembering the old KC Monarchs) and there is a matter of "measure" with the words: "Washington" is too long and "Grays" is short.So add this one with that one and we have a balanceable nickname.

GeorgesL Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 I think the Expos' name should be retired. :flagquebec: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slickster Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 I think a red, gray, blue, and white Washington Grays would provide a lot of logo/design ideas *because* the name is so generic. You could make the logos homages to the NLB past, make them reference DC....anything would work IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thad Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 What about the Washington Freedom? It would fit into Washington's common theme, and a creative logo could be made.

Dilbert Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 i like washington grays. its not any more bland then cincinnati reds. yeah but the name Reds is a shortend name for Red Stockings/ Redlegs. How did the H. Grays get their name? was it short for something? Signature intentionally left blank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NatsFan2004 Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 Bud Selig wants the team to be called the Senators. The Washington Baseball Club wants the team to be called the Senators. The entire Washington area (via the results of an ongoing Washington Post poll) wants the team to be called the Senators.What exactly is there to debate here?

flynnagain Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 WASHINGTON JACKASS'S.....TIES IN BOTH WITH THE DEMOCRATS AND VARIOUS WASHINGTON SENATORS ......This of course is universal and would work with the Ottawa Senators as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like there's a lot of bloviating going on here, and about more than just that. Seven pages worth, in fact.If Selig wants the team to be called Senators, you know that he's going to find a way to get Hicks to settle on the name.

"If the league does choose the name, Selig offered some insight into his preference:"I'm a traditionalist and a history buff, as everyone knows, and I came up [during the era of] the Washington Senators -- or the Nats, as they used to call them in those days," Selig said."Washington Post - Saturday, October 2nd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are the Rangers not the Senators. I don't get the whole deal that they own that name. What good does it make them? I would understand it if it were something like the Oilers name being retired in the NFL and the Texans wanted to be named that, now THAT would be different.

pcgd Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 Well, here's my Grays Concept. Not as great as I intended, I pretty much just took the old uniforms and jazzed it up slightly, adding an outline and font numbers. I also made a tribute to Josh Gibson, perhaps the greatest Home Run hitter of all time on the uniform, and in the primary logo. These would be an everlasting tribute in the design in my mind. They could also retire his number 20, as well as Expos, and Washington D.C. numbers. It could be alot, but a tribute to the Expos players and the old D.C. Players, including Gibson would be great.
