Name That Football Team!

Washington Football Team to reveal new name on February 2, won't be 'Wolves' or 'RedWolves'

Team president Jason Wright made the announcement on the team's website Tuesday stating that: "We can't wait to hit the ground running with our team name and identity on a clear path -- one without distracting obstacles, legal or otherwise."

So hey, let's see if we can figure it out. Apparently, there are trademark issues with "Wolves" and its variations, so that's out. Similarly, it would be the height of idiocy to pick a name involving humans, since they can literally take offense at anything and sue your ass. So my guess is, it will be some kind of animal.

Given the team's history with the "Hogs" O-line (and the 2/2 announcement date), my first guess is: Washington Groundhogs.

What's your guess?

[Demonbinder]

I will go with Admirals.

[Berzerker]

Hogs is good, but cant be groundhogs - different critter

But I doubt they'd go with it

Are Colonials taken? Maybe some nickname based on the founding

I'm not too fond of the Ls in Colonials, specifically the 2nd L, doesn't roll off the tongue so easily

Washington Whackadoos

[Ming]

Washington Losers

Doesn't really matter. If the team wins, the name will be good. If the team sucks because the owner is a Hutt sized turd, then the name will suck.

Seriously, my prediction is Patriots.

[-Jrabbit]

Well, that was stupid -- the NFL already has a Patriots team....

[ColdWizard]

It's Commanders, which was leaked a while ago either on purpose or through incompetence. Most likely the latter given the past 24 years.

[-Jrabbit]

Hmm, so everyone on the team is a Commander now. So who will follow the commands?
Oddly (ironically?) indicative of the franchise's organizational issues...

[Berzerker]

I was hoping for Hogs

they couldn't go with the Generals, I think that was the team the Globetrotters routinely beat up

Admirals... maybe thats used

[SlowwHand]

Should have left it as Redskins.

[-Jrabbit]

What, just to prove a point by being a jerk?

[ColdWizard]

According to local radio, the rollout was incredibly underwhelming. Not sure what they expected from Dan "I sell expired peanuts" Snyder.

[-Jrabbit]

It's officially inevitable that they will be referred to as the Commmies, don'tcha think?

I do like the logo.
