Conn Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I was going to post about how possibly the most famous "Sentinels" people know are the Marvel comics creation that enforce the rules of a future dystopian police state on a marginalized group, and how that is not a good connection in today's climate. I was gonna say it half-jokingly and then bust on their goofy 80's-90's design. Then I saw that the Washington Sentinels are actually a DC area soccer team in a gay soccer league (the connection here is that Stan Lee's marginalized mutants were a very thinly-veiled stand-in for groups like gays etc.)...so, that worry went out the window to a degree. I'm sure there are other X-Men fans here who had similar thoughts in regards to "Sentinels" @Mr. Sinister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenFields Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 For the X-men fans... Would they run out of the tunnel with the tune from the best cartoon intro song ever ? 😂 😂 “Ta-na-na-naa-nah” .... I hope this is just a Mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo#44 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Ugh. Sentinels is the Pepper Rodgers of names. Is Shane Falco going to come running in off a boat and win for us? Even though he's not on the roster? If it's Sentinals, I am not buying a single goddamned thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conn Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Objectively and setting aside pop culture, I think "Sentinels" is a cooler name than Warriors (which I've never liked) and I've cooled big time on the viability and cool factor of "Red Wolves". I have generally been in favor, big time, of going away from not just a name with "Red" in it, but starting with "R" period. I think to fully move on and embrace the change we need to ditch the fight song and HTTR, leave it all in the past with the history. Clean break.

I don't want you getting in trouble on my accord That is a fun story in jurisdiction. The Pentagon was built on land that outright belonged to DC in some places and Virginia in others. The construction of land bars during its creation and the shifting of the Potomac changed jurisdiction lines and now the Pentagon lies entirely in Virginia. Weirder still the thing has like six DC zip codes to this day, as it was originally part of DC. Anyways, we are named Washington, summer camp in Virginia and play in Maryland. I’m all for more inclusion. The Pentagon’s beautifully unique location technicality is one I can roll with. If I could sleep, I wouldn’t lose any about the Pentagon’s involvement in a DC based logo.

Always A Commander Never A Captain Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Capitals, Nationals, and Sentinels all end in a similar sound. So that theme continues. The Wizards however end in shame. So no worries there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANONYMOUS SOURCE. Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Well don’t have hear deadskins or foreskins anymore so that’s something positive. “The Sentinels standing guard over last place in the division” about the only knock I can think of with that name. Can you register a phrase? 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like RedWolves for a number of reasons (mainly I have been interested in them since they tried to reintroduce them to the Smokies) but I certainly get your desire for a clean break. However, considering superfan Snyder is the guy making the decision I doubt you're going to see a clean break. Probably have to drag him kicking and screaming from just the NA theme.

UKskins Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Sentinels is god awful. As bad as Monuments imo. I'll take Warriors, Red Wolves, Red Tails, etc above Sentinels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Always A Commander Never A Captain Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I could see a joke being something like "Sentinels? You see how they play? More like Mall Cops." On the flip side though, if we're ever at the top of the division or something being the Sentinels and preventing any division rivals from taking our record does have an appeal. I feel like I'm trying to talk myself into this. Which is the feeling I get whenever the team does something odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
