Personally, I like Redtails. It's a nod to the legendary Tuskegee Airmen, so a nice 180 from what was considered to be a derogatory name previously. It's the same length as Redskins, so logo & signage-wise, it's easier. It also fits right in with their current fight song & sayings, so from a fan perspective it works.

What is a "belter", anyway? That is a strange name. 

It most likely has to do with the capital beltway (I-495) and I'm assuming people that live within it are called "belters". Not the best nickname....

How are these all so bad?  I don't really like any of them.

 

I like that some are a nod to history like the Redtails, but none of these feel like very good names for a football team.  Except maybe Wild Hogs, but if that's the best option? ...

 

Ambassadors?  Demon Cats?  Icons?  Rising?  or just a bunch of letters that end in FC...

If they want to keep some heritage, then I am more in agreement to the bolded or the Red Hogs.  It plays to their legion of fans who loved the "hogs" of the great OLines of the 80's (and Riggins as well).  I *think* they still have the Pig Pen??

Good point. One of their sites is called Hogs Haven or Hogs Heaven.

I'd get crazy with it if I owned the WFT.  Something like...

 

"DC Infantry"

 

Drab green would be the main color, with white trim.  Just those two colors as main.  Would also have an alternate jersey that is camo.

 

Emblem on the drab green helmets would be crossed muskets or sabers (or similar) on one side, and the player's number on the other side, in white.  Simple and no-nonsense.

 

Oh and a US flag in white on the shoulders, oriented correctly of course.  Would be cool to have a military themed team.

Didn't I read somewhere that they are actually thinking about leaving it as the Washington Football Team? lol The world's most generic team name ever. 

I like it.   That should be what they do.   Makes them stand out.

  • w87r changed the title to Possible new names for the WFT

Since the team's Board of Directors has not allowed the most appropriate name for the team to be on the list.......The Washington Elites,  I'm hoping they choose Football Team.

 

Red Hogs seems like it would be the proper name, but it kind of has a "diseased pig" aura about it.

    • it makes sense to go defense, in my opinion. Whether pass rusher or corner. Top of the board. Receiver class is strong, and we have opportunities to add a good player to the room on day 2. But if the best player is a cornerback- then that should be who we choose. Perhaps they look at KC and feel they are positioned to develop the same corners they have in Snead/mcduffie with brents/arnold or someone else.     Who are the most Ballard like corners this draft? 
    • I’ve been thinking corner all along at 15.  Terion Arnold is my choice.
    • This Sneed thing was quite the doozy. At one point I’m sure the far majority of us thought he was a Colt. I expect a couple guys to be signed to the secondary at 1-2yr contracts and we go BPA at CB, WR and Edge in the first two rounds of the draft. 
    • beautiful beaches. My friend Destin said there is anyways. 
    • these parts of @stitches post resonate most w me. I admit I am usually a Ballard supporter. Love his eye for talent. And generally agree w the approach to not overpay for the top tier free agents because the ones that hit the open market usually do for a reason and they reset the market when they aren’t the elite of the elite and don’t deserve to be the ones resetting the market.    that said , now is the time to push hard when you have your rookie contract qb. And I’d bet behind the scenes the colts did and they fell short.    Hunter is a great example. If he truly took less to go play at home then what can you do?    the funny things is this:   if you said the colts signed a top-3 free agent wr and a top cb and a top DT and that they spent around $200M in free agency, we would all be throwing our hands up in praise and hallelujah.    thsts what they just did. But it Doesn’t feel that way because all of those guys were our home grown guys. So we didn’t really get better as a team. We spent that to just remain at the level we were at.    I don’t see any guys out there worth throwing major money at currently. I wanted Sneed. But that drama got to be exhausting and I don’t think he’s a $22M deserving guy either, especially not when trade compensation goes along w that cost.    I will say this:   last year I was hell bent on needing OL upgrades. We did nothing. I thought we were doomed running it back w the same cast and just a new coach. I was wrong and sparano killed it. I think the exact same thing could happen this year for our DL.    if we make a couple solid secondary signings then we can allocate draft resources to critical areas and see a jump.    after all, we spent recent fairly high draft capital in pierce, downs, woods, Brents, cross. Those guys haven’t made their leaps yet and if they do they’re a major improvement more so than free agency likely would bring. I have honest faith in this team if Richardson gets and stays healthy. But I’d love to add another elite pass catcher at 15 (please Thomas or Bowers if he’s there) or invest in Arnold or Mitchell and take advantage of the crazy wr depth and grab a good one in round two.    I don’t see this as doom or gloom. And I do truly hope we live to see some exciting free agency news one of these years. This year it just happened to be all the internal re-signings were actually the right big money moves.    but man, Sneed would have been fun lol
