It's a tobacco barrel. But I mean the Colts have a horseshoe, Packers have Cheese, etc. Slaves farmed tobacco. That would NOT go over well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duffy Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 The problem I'm having with coming up with name ideas is that Washington DC is basically only known for the US government. I wish they wouldn't veer from all NA imagery. People were complaining about the Redskins name. So change that part and keep the rest. Hell, the Braves aren't changing their name. If people don't want a military or government-themed named name, what other options are there that relate to the DC area? Otherwise, it's Werewolves, Rhinos, and Squirrels. Or Zombies. I could live with Washington Zombies. 4 minutes ago, ddub52 said: Slaves farmed tobacco. That would NOT go over well Damn. You're right. Every idea is a bad idea.

RemoveSnyder Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I'm ok with keeping the red theme if that's what Dan wants. Real Red, though. What do you think @Llevron? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's a shame it's hard for people to pick up a history book and learn anything. Much easier to listen to fabricated truth on the internet and if we are going to get rid of anything that had to do with slavery then the American flag and federal government should be the number one target Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinfan2k Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 So if we get Red Wolves, would we call them The R-Wolves for short. I love the short name for the Timberwolves as TWolves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Washington Traffic Jam Washington Gnats Washington Halfsmokes D.C. Potholes Seriously? It's a miserable, boring government town full of apple-polishing careerists and courtiers. Not much appealing to choose from if a local theme is desired. Even the geography is boring. Mythology might be a good solution, though the Titans already went there.

Rolls off the tongue I like that, for all the reasons you mentioned. Personally, I'd prefer the name and logo not be changed. There is legitimate disagreement about the name, but the logo is a depiction that is nothing but respectful. But since the decision has been made to change... I've always thought the name "Scandals" would be good. The Washington Scandals. But I like Warthogs better as a serious suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
