If I had to predict it would be Warriors. 

[Four2itus]

Just change the logo to a red football. Since it used to be covered in pigskin, they can still call themselves the Redskins. 

 

 

Or just call themselves the Lawyers.

[teganslaw]

I like the Redwolves. What is a "belter", anyway? That is a strange name. 

[CoachLite]

Move 'em to New York and call them the Tammany Haulers.

[Shive]

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.

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....

[SOMDColtsfan]

Rats would be fitting but I'll go with Redwolves

[shakedownstreet]

I think they should stick with Football Team

[Shadow_Creek]

lol if the UK some how gets them they should name them the London Tomahawks 

 

 

 

 

 

[BluesGirl]

I like wth.      Yea I know.  but its what I say think post etc.    They are foolish for changing the name anyway.

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...

 

[MPStack]

Leave it WFT. They’ll always be the Redskins. 

[Coltsman1788]

I vote no new nickname. Leave them as they are. Nothing else sounds right and only serves to make them sound like a XFL franchise.

Redshirts

[ÅÐØNϧ 1]

[Franklin County]

Potato skins

[chad72]

 

All of them get consumed and crushed by Dan Snyder anyways like Pretzels.

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.

[Dingus McGirt]

Bandits   (Beltway)

[Boondoggle]

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.

[Fluke_33]

I like presidents or congress maybe. 

[pgt_rob]

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. 

[LJpalmbeacher2]

The Snyders

The Liberals(give me liberty or give me death)

 

[luv_pony_express]

I’m still pulling for them to simply rearrange the words to Washington Team Football:  so we could use the moniker WT_

[DougDew]

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.

[ReMeDy]

Not a fan of "The Skins," although Hannibal Lecter would love it.

[King Colt]

The Politically Correct At Last

[Barry Sears]

Every time I see WFT, I instantly see WT*    Maybe that's the answer for a new name?

[John Hammonds]

the four skins
