RayFinkle Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Wonder what the endzones will be now. Just a 'Washington' wordmark? That is a loooong word to spell out in an endzone. LOL Take the helmets out of the endzone, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 They could have simply put WASHINGTON in the end zone and it would have looked natural. Putting the rest there just draws even more attention to the controversy. How can someone as stupid as Dan Snyder become so rich? I can't think of another single instance of someone who's bafflingly stupid, to the point where you'd think he has actual poo in his skull instead of a brain, becoming filthy rich and working in Washington.

He was a huge fan of the team as a kid. Everyone has their blindspots and (one of) his was why the team name was a problem.

DCarp1231 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Yeah sure it’s a little wonky to fit “WASHINGTON football team, est. 1932” in the end zone, but it’s really not that big of a deal... I do love the use of all gold end zones though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, because a Redskins throwback would be honoring, well, the Redskins -- which is what they're trying to get away from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a good point that I didn’t really think about. But they could probably do something to honor just the tradition of old timey football in general without specifically honoring the Redskins, I think. That may be cutting it too close, though.

I’d rather have my team play with a placeholder name for a year than accidentally put out some garbage ass logo that has subtle, unintentional nods to one of the most violent street gangs in the city and be stuck with it for ten more years.

I think keeping burgundy and yellow is a good-enough nod to the past. I honestly don't foresee WFT ever using 1932-2019 throwbacks, assuming they are taking this social awareness rebrand seriously.

Getting a full team order at this time of year with that hydroskin finish in a scaled back pandemic economy sounds pretty next to impossible. Judging from current news reports, these teams are having a hard enough time figuring out how to hold practices. If there are any uniform mods my guess is they are going to be beholden to local tailoring shops to modify their existing uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
