RFK Lives Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Yeah, count me as a No on Warhawks. Also, the most obvious insult that was missed in the Warthog discussion was us being called the Genital Warts by rivals. Red Wolves is the bolder and better choice for cultivating a new and youthful fan base. Warriors is the safe, generic pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will do better to try and stay on topic. It is a bit tough cause the name change has so much politics injected into it, but it’s tight rope we gotta navigate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"My strength has left me" "He chose poorly" for every draft pick is such a good fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh god, I forgot about the moat. 🤦♂️ it’s amazing that Dan can screw up just about everything he touches on this team. I’m ready to roll with Redwolves which means he will do some other horrible name to further alienate whatever remains of the fan base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFK Lives Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Eh, I don't hate it. A bit more Boston College to me than ND but yeah. The wolf looks a little too Phoenix Coyote for me but could be edited a bit. Art Monk looks a little pale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less baggage we have to bring with us and defend during this process. I agree, and honestly I doubt we will notice much of a drop off once the name is changed. A new and exciting name can really help this franchise with younger fans, a demographic we seemed to be losing over the years. I will be even so bold to claim that we will gain more fans than lose once we go with something dope like Redwolves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue Jedi Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Yeah Redtails is no good. And no disrespect to the Tuskegee Airmen, they are American heroes. It’s just too strange of a name for a team and oddly specific. Not to mention the endless bad nicknames from our rivals. What’s the worst they can do with Redwolves? Call us puppies? Gasp!

Rogue Jedi Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Wow, that logo by Jeff is fierce as hell. Probably the best one I’ve seen so far. It also gives me some House Targaryen vibes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamebreaker Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I find it interesting that Code Talkers was suggested as a nickname from a NA tribe, considering I distinctly remember Blackhorse stating she didn't think any NAs should be used as a mascot for a sports team during an interview. Maybe she's a part of a different NA nation a feels differently. Either way, I wouldn't mind RedTails, but agree, avoiding any specific groups and going with a boring animal is probably safer.

Or maybe just go all in on the furry pants idea... 4 hours ago, -JB- said: Yea, except the Red Wolf is a soft pansy ass wolf. It doesn’t even snarl, it ****ing moo’s 😆 You get it.

And it really hearkens back to the original logo in ways, too. You can almost see the shape of a feather in the mane. I absolutely love this one. Would wear it proudly. And I have to stop getting attached to these things. It just makes the wait more difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
