If I have to see that damned swamp dragon one more time, or hear more self serving back-patting about a 25 year old dinosaur logo, or see one more of his Trump-like tweets... *breathes* Sorry, but that guy is awful. And that’s the nicest thing I can say. The only time that swamp dragon was a welcome site was on game of zones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 They still want the HTTR motto, and changing the teams colors is going to be a nonstarter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternatives: the Washington Whigs, or the Washington Carpetbaggers Edit: This got me thinking of the Washington Federalists, but why not the Washington Federals? They could be called the Feds for short, and the FedEx guy who got the ball rolling on all this would certainly approve. Also the above names are a joke, for those of you who couldn’t figure it out.

Takes care of the red and fed and.....I'll head out the door, lol. College sports as we know them are just about dead. The lid is off on all the corruption that taints just about every major program and every decision that the schools or the NCAA make is only about money, money, and more money. We'll have three 16+ team super-conferences sooner rather than later, killing much of the regional flair and traditional rivalries that make college sports unique and showing the door to any school that doesn't bring money to the table in the process. Pretty soon the smaller schools are going to have to consider forming their own sanctioning body to keep the true spirit of college sports alive because the NCAA will only get worse in it's excess from here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Redwolves sounds extremely minor-leaguish and is to me, the worst of them all.

It's actually a good name. However, there has already been a football team named the Washington Federals . . . and they were terrible.

BBTV Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 What the hell is a Federal? Has anyone ever said "look at that Federal over there"? Or "George was a great federal"? It doesn't mean anything.

philly97flyer Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I like the idea of Reds or Redtails. Can stick with tradition and use this as the logo.

I guess I can buy that, but I've never heard of an individual or a group referred to as a "federal" or the "federals", just the shortened "fed".

I know we're 30 or so years removed from the Cold War, but Reds historically has a Communist connotation (heck, my dad still calls China "Red China"). Although that connotation is primarily historical, I'm guessing Reds as the nickname for a team in the nation's capital is a non-starter.
