I read through that yesterday. I can't believe how bad most of those are. The only one I really like is Redtails. I think that would be a cool name with meaning.

Demon Cats

Thunderstruck27 : 4/16/2021 4:52 pm : link

sounds like a winner

personally think they should keep it "washington football team"

japanhead : 4/16/2021 4:52 pm : link

kind of badass in that it reminds that they were canceled. certainly worlds better than anything on that list.

i wish

djm : 4/16/2021 4:53 pm : link

they'd just call them the washington native americans and troll the fuck out of this country. why the hell not. Everyone is full of shit anyway. No really wants to acknowledge that there was a full blown genocide right here in this country, not 200 years ago.

Call them the native americans. Let people know it aint going away. We did it. OWn it.

Agreed.

The Washington Ass Clowns

trueblueinpw : 4/16/2021 4:55 pm : link

I feel like Ass Clowns represents the fans, the current owner, the past owner and the residents in the general vicinity of the team. I would throw out Ass Monkeys out there too - which also ticks all the boxes - but might get the animal rights people lathered up.

The Washington Rising?

Osi Osi Osi OyOyOy : 4/16/2021 4:56 pm : link

That sounds like a terrible movie not a sports team.

I hope they go with Defenders

illmatic : 4/16/2021 4:59 pm : link

The memes would be relentless whenever they’re bad defensively.

_________

I am Ninja : 4/16/2021 4:59 pm : link

DCFC rings well.

Archers?

MOOPS : 4/16/2021 4:59 pm : link

How about The Archies.

The Wayfarers?

Pete in MD : 4/16/2021 5:00 pm : link

Will there logo be a pair of Ray-Bans?

And what does 32FC mean?

Redtails and Red Hogs are the only ones I like.

Feels lame to have an NFL team copy the soccer style club names.

Washington Warriors

JoeMorrison40 : 4/16/2021 5:05 pm : link

When are we not in wars ?

The left one off

Rjanyg : 4/16/2021 5:05 pm : link

Foreskins

That cant be the best options.

CV36 : 4/16/2021 5:06 pm : link

Those are terrible. Just leave it football team. Its not any worse than that list.

Keeping with their history

Des51 : 4/16/2021 5:07 pm : link

The Washington Tribe or will that still get them into trouble?

Washington First City Football Club=

GiantSteps : 4/16/2021 5:08 pm : link

“Washington F*ck F*ck”

That’s gotta be the name

Why? Is it not enough that they changed the name? Must they pay for their past sins in perpetuity? Are you afraid some other sports team might consider "Redskins" an acceptable name at some point in the future unless there's a reminder that it isn't?

How about Lone Rangers?

Pete in MD : 4/16/2021 5:18 pm : link

Wait, can you pluralize Lone Ranger? :-)

Go retro

wahl35 : 4/16/2021 5:27 pm : link

They should use a retro mid/late sixties pop band type or name. No need for any stinking s'es at the end.

The Washington Briefcase

Honestly

Biteymax22 : 4/16/2021 5:45 pm : link

They should just go with “The Skins” and not even have Washington in the name. That’s what everyone called them for years anyway.

I think Red Hogs

FranknWeezer : 4/16/2021 5:50 pm : link

would be an easy transition.

The Washington

Hazlet Giant's Fan : 4/16/2021 5:50 pm : link

Seattle's confuse everyone

Federals Should Have Been A Choice

Trainmaster : 4/16/2021 5:54 pm : link

Baseball Nationals, Football Federals

Sort of like Detroit Tigers and Lions.

Red wolves is pretty cool and

Simms11 : 4/16/2021 5:58 pm : link

it’s their color. Red in the name also is a way of still keeping some of the former name.

SFGFNCGiantsFan : 4/16/2021 6:05 pm : link

Ooof.

Dave in Hoboken : 4/16/2021 6:10 pm : link

That entire list is awful.

32FC

HMunster : 4/16/2021 6:15 pm : link

Otherwise known as Last Place Football Club.

Redtails is an awesome name and a great way to

BigBlueBuff : 4/16/2021 6:16 pm : link

honor and bring even more attention to American heroes.

I like

Svengali : 4/16/2021 6:17 pm : link

Red Tails is the only name on that list that doesnt suck.

Redtails is by far the best name and it’s so close to the original one. No brainer to me

It really isnt

UConn4523 : 4/16/2021 6:24 pm : link

we like cute names here in the states but location only works in many leagues around the world.

"Aces"

Peter from NH (formerly CT) : 4/16/2021 6:26 pm : link

sounds really f'ing dumb

Washington Redwolves

geelabee : 4/16/2021 6:27 pm : link

Unless they have copyright problems..legal issues tying it up...

The Washington Redskinners

gtt350 : 4/16/2021 7:00 pm : link

Football Team

rocco8112 : 4/16/2021 7:10 pm : link

Don't fix what isn't broken.

Redtails

Pete in 'Vliet : 4/16/2021 7:11 pm : link

I agree, but I imagine they don't like their abbreviation looking like a certain other acronym

DC Football Club would get my vote

Washington Synders?

Eli Wilson : 4/16/2021 7:35 pm : link

Don't we all know that's what he really wants anyways.

Washington Belchers

dk in TX : 4/16/2021 7:35 pm : link

😄

Is this a serious list? Ambassadors? Anchors?

Spider56 : 4/16/2021 7:48 pm : link

No matter, They’ll always be the Redskins to me .

The Washington Washingtonians?

Pete in MD : 4/16/2021 8:09 pm : link

The Washington Bottomless Mimosas?

The Washington Pretentious Douchebags Who Wouldn't be Caught Dead Here 15 Years Ago.

My turn

steviej : 4/16/2021 8:16 pm : link

The Washington Theismans Washington Senators,retro Washington Potheads,legal or the Washington Pelosi's ode to Nance

The Washington Wild Boars

Nomad Crow on the Madison : 4/16/2021 8:41 pm : link

double entendre, anyone?

Just call them the Hogs and be done with it.

Assuming they can get that trademark from that guy in Alexandria that has 5,000 trademarks.
