It would probably just be called the District of Columbia but be treated as a state. Would that be essentially city of Washington in the state of Douglass Commonwealth?

BBTV Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Wouldn't it be "Washington" in the Commonwealth of Douglass? Doesn't need to be a state. Can be like PA, VA, MA, and... KY (I think.) I dislike Red Wolves. I especially dislike keeping the same general look of the uniform but placing the wolf in the circle. Trying to make something the same that's obviously different is just a reminder that it's different. I wouldn't go with "red" anything. There's plenty of identities they can come up with that use the same colors but in completely different ways.

I'm of the opposite mind, given the general colors and look of the team are gorgeous and if you give people time they get used to it being different. I also think Red Wolves would be a perfectly suitable name. Won't work for everyone, though. EDIT: To the DC discussion- Redtails and Douglass Commonwealth both feel like they are over-compensating, but I'd still take 'em over a slur or that slaver or the genocidal guy, so eh.

selgy Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 I've said this earlier. 1. I believe the WFT won't be renamed for a while. 2. Snyder will secure a new stadium within DC 3. NFL will then make Snyder sell the team since it will now have its highest possible value due to a new secured stadium and the new owner could name the team whatever they want and start from scratch 4. New owner names the team upon moving into new DC stadium or season prior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colortv Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Also don't know if this matters but: Quote Since before European colonization of the Americas, the red wolf has featured prominently in Cherokee spiritual beliefs, where it is known as wa'ya (ᏩᏯ), and is said to be the companion of Kana'ti - the hunter and father of the Aniwaya or Wolf Clan.[86] Traditionally, Cherokee people generally avoid killing red wolves, as such an act is believed to bring about the vengeance of the killed animals' pack-mates.

DCarp1231 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 If it does become “Wolves” or “Redwolves” and they unveil a dopey mascot with it, they better name it Rufus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll probably get a sweetheart deal from someone in Northern Virginia first, and then get Sterlinged out for some newly unearthed transgression in addition to all the other ones. Maybe the RFK site can be redeveloped into some mixed-use crap called "The Avenues at National Place" or something like that that sucks. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he is actively trying to get a new stadium and I believe he will not name the team until after the stadium location has been set and he sells/made to sell the team.

The_Admiral Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Negotiating with DC bureaucrats seems to be uniquely tedious (look at the Ottawa Senators, another capital-city team owned by an idiot, and their failure to move back downtown), and Snyder has been making overtures to Virginia for years. It'd probably be for the best if they moved to Virginia anyway. Parking will be ample and that's where what actual fans they have left seem to live, the district proper being for the upper echelon of an entire nation's bloodless sociopaths and degenerate freaks. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will. But will he make more money selling 1. WFT merchandise 2. Leaving the team name vacant for the next owner versus naming it now 3. Not having a name and using that as leverage if he moves into DC or a suburb I think #2 and letting the next owner select their team name will net him the most money. He will make money in the meantime from WFT merch. Not as much from another name. But the gains between WFT and selling the team without a name and a new stadium I feel will be well worth it. My take on this. Keep in mind this is based on the NFL pressuring Snyder to sell. If that is not the case then this is all moot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is not the case then this is all moot. Well, I think that's where this falls apart. I highly doubt Synder gets forced to sell unless something illegal that he actually did (instead of just overseeing operations like a doofus) because rich jerks don't like to kick other rich jerks out of their rich jerk club. Richardson wasn't forced to sell, he chose to after some pressure from fans and media. It's possible the NFL would've made him sell, but to my knowledge they haven't forced a sale like the NBA did to Sterling. I think Synder renames the team as soon as he has a complete identity together. I'm sure he's made some money with the WFT merch, but a real name will make more because fans know that WFT is temporary. I think he'll get his new stadium soon enough, probably not in DC itself but in Virginia. Either way, that's so many years off that there's no way he doesn't make the change as soon as he can. the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
