I'll go one step further. Imagine if we're changing FROM Redwolves, with "The Den" and the howling and the Wolfpack already in place. Forget the connotations with the name for a minute, but imagine we're having the name change discussion and someone says, "Hey, let's go with REDSKINS. And we'll call our O-line the Hogs and we'll support them by getting a bunch of fat dudes to dress like women AND like hogs at the same time. We'll call 'em ... wait for it ... the HOGETTES! For our wide receivers ... this is gonna be awesome, guys, so badass ... we'll call them ... ready ... THE FUN BUNCH!" 2 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites

The Burgundy and Gold would just be what announcers on tv call the team I guess. I will still call them the Redskins and wear my gear. With Redwolves it's going to feel like a different team Let go of the name and embrace the team/players. Change is coming. Embrace it or struggle against it. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

People wear pig noses to games to this day. You don't like the howl? Don't do it. Same with "Coooooooooooooley" or anything else fans join together in doing. It doesn't make you less of a fan, just don't stop other people from doing it and everyone will be cool. Well everyone except you because you'll be the guy not howling. I’ll be the guy not supporting if the need to fabricate an identify somehow results in that level of cringe. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

We should be authoritarian with this. Put people on the jumbotron that aren't howling, contributing to the cause. Then get them tossed out, Fresh Prince style 1 1 8 Link to post Share on other sites

When a Staff member tries to work with (after the members have tried to work with you & you tell them you don't have to listen to them) you whether in thread or in a PM, reporting them to themselves as "singling you out" & again as "harassing" you, probably isn't the best way to go. 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites
