BBTV 19,394 Posted August 18, 2020 Forget what I said earlier about having in inclusive process to determine the name. I'm firmly on board with DC Muleriders. Let's get some graphics and merch put together stat so the Eagles can open in DC against the Muleriders and not the WTFs. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

selgy 406 Posted August 19, 2020 I say we go with a solid classic name. Something established and with precedent. I say DC Kraken 15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Wolf 5,525 Posted August 19, 2020 I've seen two in support of Muleriders, and I'm pretty sure that constitutes a mandate. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BJ Sands 3,813 Posted August 19, 2020 Looks like the same old pants to me. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BBTV 19,394 Posted August 19, 2020 Those are practice pants and not necessarily indicative of what the game pants will look like. I think it has been confirmed that the game pants aren't changing, but practice pants don't mean anything. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PlayGloria 216 Posted August 19, 2020 Probably a super unpopular opinion here, but part of me kind of hopes that they just stick with Washington Football Team. The burgundy and yellow look killer by themselves. And no matter what name they pick, it's just going to feel forced. I mean, they have been called the (Washington Football Team) since 1933. Nothing else is going to feel or sound right. Washington Football Team is almost like a classic soccer team name but would be unique for the NFL. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eh - I got used to saying Tennessee Titans, or Washington Wizards. I'd prefer to not sound like European Football with their team name. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the admiral 28,206 Posted August 19, 2020 That's a horrible idea, especially with the logos or lack thereof they have now. "Washington Football Team" sounds stupid. Just do some sort of Red____s and get back to mostly normal. Isn't that what 2021 is all about, getting back to mostly normal? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just disagree with that line of thinking... coming up with a fake Red-something name just for the sake of putting a cartoon made up animal on the side of the helmet does nothing for me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But they need SOMETHING for fans to identify with the team. The browns are really the only team in all of North American big 4 sports that don’t other than the helmet but they have close to 80 years of tradition to back that up, Washington does not have that luxury here. Being known as the Washington Football Team will feel stale more than it already does. Even in European football most of the clubs have nicknames like “reds” “Red Devils”, “blue birds,” “blues” ect. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LA Fakers+ LA Snippers 525 Posted August 19, 2020 Why Not Washington Blues? Since they want to eliminate all ties to Reds***s, why not scrap the color scheme and go blue n' bronze like the 90's Wizards and Capitals 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And that’s the nicest thing I can say. Tom O'Grady is a delightful, humble man who is an excellent artist and an even better social media presence. O'Grady is an ass and always has been. I'm sure he's inflated his role in a lot of these projects, maybe even stealing credit from other artists. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
