Werewolves has definitely been my #1 choice. I guess I would be ok with red wolves, but after doing a little research, I learned that a red wolf is basically just a dog. https://es.redskins.com/topic/365985-the-official-es-all-things-redskins-name-change-thread-reboot-edition-read-new-op/?do=findComment&comment=11796367 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyst Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 If it is Red Wolves, I got to say, I will be very happy. In the NFL it is a very unique name. Just have to make sure the logo (which I assume would change) is classy and not cartoonish. Update the uniforms slightly and we’re good to go. As others have said, HTTR can become Howl To The Red Wolves if they move on from “Hail”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander -JB- Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 For the love of god please don’t let our new team name be the Red Wolves. The rest of the NFC East will destroy us for such a pathetic team name 😭 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceman Spiff Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Thought this was a good point worth mentioning. Good chance whatever logo we come up right now isn't what we have in a few years from now. Forgot how terrible that initial Ravens logo was. I don't hold any ill will towards the Ravens, I think their helmet is pretty sharp. Purple and black are pretty weird colors to have but I think they make it work as well as anyone could. Dammit, I can't get the tweet to embed. Anyway, the original Ravens logo was this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dissident2 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 About to go to bed and thought I'd check the board one last time. Glad I did ... this is looking promising. If it is Redwolves, gotta go with it as one word. That preserves the HTTR for one thing, something that really isn't that old as far as its use as an acronym. (Just getting that in before the expected, "You have to let go of all our history" replies. No, thanks, I don't conCUR.) Considering the importance of wolves in NA culture, this preserves something of a NA connection for me, too. Maybe that's a little forced, but I don't give a ****. It's mine and you can't have it. The idea of fans howling in the stands gives me goosebumps. No other fan base does that. That's what makes the name so great: it lends itself to so much bad-assery beyond the name itself. Warriors isn't bad, but ... what are you supposed to do as a warrior? RedTails? This name brings a lot of great possibilities that the others I've heard simply do not possess. I would've settled for "Washington Wolves," but I think "Redwolves" is far cooler and more interesting. Endangered species? That's the fan base of this team. Let's start some metaphorical mating and get those numbers up. Where's the wife? Back in two minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I know is, I've never seen that done before, and the idea of our fanbase having something totally original and unique is very appealing to me. Let's see how it plays out. I mean, the Hogettes were pretty damn corny, too, but we all loved them. The fight song is corny as hell, but it's ours. I feel good about this IF it's true this is the new name.

TK Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 With as few tweaks as possible I think I could deal with this ... Hail to the Redwolves!Hail Victory!Wolves on the Hunt!Fight for old D.C.!Run or pass and score—We want a lot more!Beat 'em, Swamp 'em,Touchdown! -- Let the points soar!Fight on, fight on 'Til you have wonWolves of Wash-ing-ton. Rah!, Rah!, Rah!Hail to the Redwolves!Hail Victory!Wolves on the Hunt!Fight for old D.C.! Unless Dans pays for the nWo Wolfpack theme & slightly tweaks those lyrics. Wolfpack is back causin' mass destruction Guess who's here? The Bad Boys of football Testin' competition when the war does their mission Got no mercy See them race like a streak If you don't know, you better find out the Wolfpac Here to prove a point Number 1, just believe that you don't want to mess with them I'll be your forward gun Come on the field, and then you're never walkin' off again (Chorus) Don't turn your back on the Wolfpac Don't turn your back on the Wolfpac Don't turn your back on the Wolfpac Don't turn your back on the Wolfpac You might wind up in a body bag You took your chances Now it's time to show you were wrong On the field this is poor, Are you such that strong? Day in, Day Out The Wolfpack for life Tell the boys with guts to come on the field tonight Don't care about the record because you make your own rules You don't have to takes to fill they shoes See, it's just a crowd pleaser, On the ground I leave ya You're the first to get punked' enemies with these soldiers (Chorus) Don't turn your back on the Wolfpac Don't turn your back on the Wolfpac Don't turn your back on the Wolfpac Don't turn your back on the Wolfpac You might wind up in a body bag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, in the 80s, in a time where nothing made sense, it made sense. Every team has fans that do stuff that probably looks dumb to other fans of other teams and when you realize that, everything's alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
