I get a joke here and there, but it's turning into unproductive chaos now. I have to imagine maybe once it gets closer to being announced or something and there's actual news the joking will simmer down.. let Let Em get it out of there system now...#dcdiscodivas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always A Commander Never A Captain Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 So with Dan Snyder's foundation not having given any money out in 2019 to tribal charities/grants/etc, and I doubt that suddenly changed in 2020...it certainly looks like we aren't going to keep any American Indian imagery/iconography/names/etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The logo would look too much like the male anatomy, and therefore easily ridiculed. And secondly, and this is just my opinion of course, but I believe it's significant - I'd like a name that correlates fairly well to the game of football, with at least a very loose connection. In other words, a stationary object doesn't sound like a good descriptive word of how a football team operates. I can't see them saying "These Monuments are marching down the field" I know I will be accused of over-thinking it. But I always got the impression that part of the appeal of a team name, is how you can at least loosely connect it with football activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

celticsalmon Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Disappointed that it appears the fans' opinion doesn't matter. Instead of rewarding the very people who have supported the team during Little big man's horrid stretch by inviting us to "Name the Team," it looks like Snyder will chose it without our input. Thanks to fans in other cities we have these winners from name the team contests: Seahawks, Chargers, Raiders, Dolphins, Chiefs, Jaguars, Colts, Broncos, Falcons, and Ravens.

Thanks to fans in other cities we have these winners from name the team contests: Seahawks, Chargers, Raiders, Dolphins, Chiefs, Jaguars, Colts, Broncos, Falcons, and Ravens. Almost all of those teams were newly formed teams, though, without any history and definitely without any controversy surrounding their names. Chiefs and Ravens were established teams moving to new cities. None were in a situation even close to what the Redskins are dealing with. If there were fans suggestions, I personally would hate it if some nimrods suggested the "Scalpers" or "Savages" and we had to deal with that nonsense in addition to changing the name. It would be great if they whittled the name possibilities down to 2 or 3 and then let us vote, which they could still do...but in all honesty I don't think I'd care too much either way. The name that gets the most votes won't automatically be the new name, so as long as someone votes for "Warriors" or "Red Tails" or whatever names they are seriously considering now, they can say "Of all the fan suggestions, we thought this name worked the best." Plus from what I can find, the Colts were named in honor of the region’s history of horse breeding--no idea if that was also a fan choice--and the name the fans chose for the Raiders' was the Oakland Señors lol...they changed it after getting ridiculed for it. Raiders was 3rd on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiscoBob Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Said elsewhere by... somebody... Washington F.C. (football club) Sounds good, simple, and allows the team to modify it's logo now and in the future without forcing it to mesh with the team nickname. The term club also carries with it a feeling of comraderie that the team needs to develop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
