It was a rebrand as the Washington Karens in the style of the Redskins logo. Honestly, it's brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridleylash Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 We should probably steer back on topic before this thread turns into the above .gif. Anyways, I'd say "Redtails" is the best option of the lot; it's both easy to spin into a bird identity and pays tribute to an under-remembered military squadron, thus fulfilling the NFL's military boner quota. Win-win! Of course, I expect Snyder to go with "Warriors" just to try and stick it to the people who made him change the name by going with the most generic one possible. Because Dan Snyder is a petty little man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate the fact you took the time to respond and tell me how my post made you feel. Although we may have disagreed on what is or isn't humorous, I sincerely hope we can continue to be sensible and respectful about the redesign of the Washington Redskins logo and name. Sometimes in tense situations humor us used to ease tensions. I (foolishly) thought that mentioning a parody design was a fun way to highlight the nature of the current issue while easing tension around a polarizing topic. Sometimes when we're able to laugh at ourselves it shows us a better path forward. However, I understand that it may not have been appreciated by all the members of the board. It is my wish that my attempt at humor will not have me excommunicated from the logo community I have been apart of since 2004. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a sensitive enough topic as is; we don't need anything else adding fuel to it. Pardon my french, but I want to get this off my chest. I'm sorry for this off-topic post.

ptay Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 MOD EDIT I love that now moderators are actually directing us towards the Washington name change discussion. What a difference a week makes. Redtails is interesting and clever but ultimately the criticism that it's too 'narrow' and has a loose connection to the DC area at best has a lot of local fans pushing it aside in favor of 'Redwolves'....at least that's what I'm hearing from this region.

I mean, considering wild red wolves are currently only in North Carolina...it's not really that much more locally relevant. Besides, red wolves are really just slightly more wolf-y coyotes.

CS85 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I did see a cool concept where the feather on the R is replaced with a wolf's tail. Kinda neat.

AnPheitseog Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Yeah, Washington needs to somehow make a clean break from all of their past imagery while maintaining a similar look and keeping the colors. Formerly known as DiePerske Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old School Fool Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I'm pretty sure it's going to be Washington Red Wolves. It was a Navy helicopter squadron based in Virginia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSC-84 It keeps Red and the letter R in the name, references the location of the team and references the military as Rivera stated. They could be vague with the identity or not. It works in many ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptay Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 So what looks better, "Red Wolves" or "Redwolves"? No team in the NFL has a two-name identity and neither do most major American sports leagues. I can think of Red Sox and White Sox at the top of my head. Vegas Golden Knights. Minnesota Timberwolves. I think I prefer one name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without more detail the wolf tail still looks like a feather. Still looks like the slur. They should just let that stuff be the past. Keep the colors and the R if they want, but they must start fresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realistically i'm expecting something close to that even if for just 2020 before getting a proper new set next season, with just the decals being changed and wordmark removed. #DTWD #GoJaguars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I was stunned they were trying to do it this year. I think a public announcement that the change was happening next year would’ve sufficed. They don’t get points either way, but I can’t say I’m not impressed they are trying an 18 month rebrand in like 3 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
