Washington American Football Club

Keep the branding in place with the exception of the name and primary logo.

How could Trump people complain about adding the word "American" to their name?

NFL’s Washington franchise officially has a new name coming

The NFL has asked partners to begin scrubbing "Redskins" from their platforms


New name coming. Perhaps in time for start of season?

 

[Mightygoose]

The Washington Football Club it is. Better to take their time in selecting a new name.

Washington NFL team dropping 'Redskins' name after 87 years

The Washington NFL franchise announced Monday that it will drop the “Redskins” name and Indian head logo immediately, bowing to decades of criticism that they ...


FedEx led the way with request to change name. They have stadium naming rights.

 

[Ms Maggie]

Should have done this years ago. Maybe Snyder can concentrate on fielding a decent team.

Tons of Redskins nickname options have been trademarked by a guy in Virginia

Washington apparently has a new team name picked out, but a trademark fight is reportedly halting the process.

Virginia resident has trademarked a bunch of names.

I heard earlier it's going to be based on a military tie in. This can't be it, can it?

So, I'm not sure if this should go in this thread, the NHL Chicago thread, or its own thread somewhere (or ignored)...but today after the announcement of the Redskins intent to change their name, I read an opinion piece in Washington Post about how the author believes the name Texas Rangers must change and why...which led me to investigate the origin of the name of the New York Rangers, which apparently came about as a partial play on words ( "Tex's Rangers" for their founder, nicknamed Tex)....so might NYR be the down the line another domino to fall?

That editorial was written by a woman who said white women should be lucky that black aren't calling for revenge (after listing a number of hate crimes).

She's just a shrill that's making the WaPo harder to read.

Smart guy.

Like anybody didn't see that coming.

Squatters have trademarked almost every Washington NFL nickname option. Will it pay off?

Martin McCaulay insists he isn't hoping for a payday. So do the others who've snapped up trademarks. But even if they're telling the truth, what kind of power ...

Interesting interviews with a few folks that have potential names trademarked. Some did it for financial reasons. Others with plans to actually use it but could be convinced to sell/give it up.

Could 'Sentinels' be Washington's new nickname? Would fans be happy with it?

Some internet searches led to a new candidate for Washington's new nickname.

DC Sentinels.

The Replacements, anyone?

 

[Mightygoose]

Looks like their name for now will be the Washington Football Team



Helmet logo to be replaced by player's number.

Best to go with a 'definition' for now.

Is the Washington Football Team name here to stay? Daniel Snyder says 'it's possible'

Daniel Snyder said there is no deadline to choose the organization's new name.

And they kinda like the retro moniker.

(And don't want to hassle with trademark squatters)

 

[Big Z Man 1990]

To move on completely from the Redskins name the burgundy and gold colors must be replaced with red, white and navy blue.

Cleveland Browns have no logo, Washington will have no name.

Lol.

WFT prez: 'Warriors' not an option for new name

Warriors has too much connotation for Native Americans, so won't be next nickname. Still working things through. Not planning it to be Native American oriented.

Play to have new nickname and logo in place for 2022 season.

 

[daver]

Why bother with a new nickname when "Washington" is bound to be changed at some point.
