I actually really like this suggestion. However, I would change one thing (technically two I suppose). Use the Wooly Mammoth in the logo, but the name could be Guardians or Defenders. That would at least stretch out the Giants similarities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaSteve Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I know they'd never do this but part of me would just like them to be Washington F.C. (or AFC?) . Keep everything but the name and logo, create a temporary crest, let time go by and maybe nicknames will start to evolve organically like they do in international soccer. Then they can reassess.

The kind of mascot that 8,000 colleges and high schools already have. On the bright side, Redskins used to be a stupid and generic identity that 8,000 colleges and high schools already had. Indians, Redskins, and Redmen were once as ubiquitous as Wildcats, Panthers, or Cougars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 5 hours ago, Ben in LA said: After the way the NFL treated the former Baltimore Stallions about the Colts name, I’d think the CFL would return the favor about the Argos. Difference, of course, is that the NFL objected to them using "Colts" in the same city. It wasn't just "Colts" they objected to, but "Baltimore Colts". The NFL is the only American pro league that doesn't have any interest in Canada, so it's the only American pro league that could pick that trademark fight. Not that I want them to.

Carolingian Steamroller Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Some political-type names: Federals - DC is the seat of the Federal Government. Also Federals was a nickname for Union troops, many of whom were quartered in DC during the war. Constitutions - Doubles as the US Constitution, which determines our shape of governance and the USS Constitution, "Old Ironsides." Nats - Short for "Nationals" and National Football League, but also Nat Turner, famed slave insurrection leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerslionspistonshabs Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 This may not really be surprising news, but I was listening to Adam Schefter on Saturday and he said that he heard "through the grapevine" that Warriors and Redwolves were the front runners.

officeglenn Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 The team has hired a new executive vice-president and chief marketing officer to "lead the charge on the name and logo change alongside team owner Dan Snyder": https://www.thescore.com/news/1988002 Article mentions that "replacements are expected to be decided before the 2020 season begins," but to me this indicates a longer process.

Agreed - they've just built in their 'out' for not having a name (and thus encouraging the use of the old one). It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
