If it's a one year jersey, they should just put "20", as if we wanted to be reminded of this year. Pretty sure I made the exact same comment about the Chargers helmet about 10, 20, years ago, whenever they were unveiled. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Native Americans are now deleted from the team's entire history. This is from the official Washington twitter feed: The only thing I noticed wrong with the comic is the placement of the Nike Swoosh in his "return" and the lack of helmet numbers and white on the sleeves. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faxion 151 Posted August 17, 2020 Throwback head logo removed from sleeves. Washington wordmark added to front. Gold facemask not grey (if you want to be pedantic). 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember an article a few weeks ago said Washington needs to focus on an iconic name that can flow easily in the ranks of “Yankees”. Redwolves is a ginormous flop if that’s the direction they want to go. It’s lazy, lacks creativity, and is a noticeable cop out at retaining “HTTR”.

the admiral 28,190 Posted August 17, 2020 The team just made a show out of hiring a black guy to be the team president, which leads me to believe it'll be Redtails in a baldly cynical attempt to position themselves as a team for The Community and get everyone off their ass. As long as it's a Dan Snyder production it won't work 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of the names suggested, I'll admit it's my personal favorite. I don't like the idea of the team having a military themed name, so Redtails, Warriors and all the other suggestions of that theme just don't appeal to me (and A LOT of others that live here). Same goes for names in line with Capitals, Federals, Senators, etc. Seriously, the citizens of DC don't need the constant reminder (from people that don't even live here) that we live in the nation's capital. Why must all our teams represent the entire nation or the government in some way? With that said, I can easily get behind a ferocious, wild canine for the new name and imagery HTTRedwolves 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldschoolvikings 17,403 Posted August 17, 2020 Yeah, I have no dog in the fight, but Redwolves is the best of the most mentioned choices IMO. The military pandering would do nothing for me, and warriors is easily the most generic of the names that get brought up. Plus Redwolves works great with the color scheme and has excellent logo potential. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DNAsports 5,396 Posted August 17, 2020 I feel like the majority of people think the name “Warriors” absolutely HAS to be tied into Native American imagery. It doesn’t. Don’t try to pretend is does. It has the potential to be an iconic identity in-line with “Yankees”. It can be a Greek warrior, a Roman warrior, a king’s knight, it can even be some type of animal. Hell, you could technically classify the Titans mascot as a warrior- 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
