ManillaToad Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 At this point I'm just hoping for any name. WFT has to go. It's ridiculous they'll be unnamed for yet another season 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jn8 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Hot take: keep Washington Football Team. It’s unique and quirky and kinda fits a team that’s been around forever, giving like a 1930s type of feel. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly the reason. Most places you see team names are automated procedures that pull team nicknames in. Especially with 2 LA and NY teams, much easier to use nicknames. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s unique and quirky and kinda fits a team that’s been around forever, giving like a 1930s type of feel. The idea of just sticking with Washington Football Team full time has grown on me as well. I was listening to Tony Kornheiser’s show recently and I thought he had a good point in saying that no matter what name the team lands on, Redtails, Redwolves, whatever, it’ll never satisfy the fan base. The new name will always be compared to the old name, so just stick with WFT. 4 Check out my site at stevebcreations.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Kornheiser is wrong. "Washington Football Team" is and has always been a copout. Just because some people are bound to complain about whatever name they choose doesn't mean they aren't obligated to stop this nonsense and pick a new name ASAP. This isn't soccer. As for the argument that WFT fits a team that's been around since the '30s: football teams had actual names in the '30s. This particular team was founded in 1932 as the Boston Braves, not the Boston Football Team. Their current non-name and non-brand would have stuck out like a sore thumb back then just like it does now. 13 POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point he was trying to make is that he believes the fan base would be more willing to accept WFT/No name versus a new team name that’ll always be compared to the old name. If they can’t have “(Washington Football Team)”, WFT/No name would be an easier pill to swallow. At least that is what I got from it.

It’s unique and quirky and kinda fits a team that’s been around forever, giving like a 1930s type of feel. Speaking of hot takes, I don't know why they wouldn't capitalize on the hottest trend in sports and go with Team de Foot Washington. A fitting nod to the area's history. A Brief History of Pierre L’Enfant and Washington, D.C.: How One Frenchman’s Vision Became Our Capital City Quote Today's Washington, D.C. owes much of its unique design to Pierre Charles L'Enfant, who came to America from France to fight in the Revolutionary War and rose from obscurity to become a trusted city planner for George Washington. L'Enfant designed the city from scratch, envisioning a grand capital of wide avenues, public squares and inspiring buildings in what was then a district of hills, forests, marshes and plantations. The local press would inevitably dub them Les Enfants or Les Planificateurs once they understood the rich history behind the team's name. 2 "If things have gone wrong, I'm talking to myself, and you've got a wet towel wrapped around your head."

The only thing that really makes the Bengals uniforms as bad as they are is the inexplicable side panel. Aside from that while the uniforms aren't perfect they aren't fundamentally flawed like some. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
