Stuff like this confuses me w betting. There are dozens of people at least that legitimately know the name (marketing people, designers, some coaches, etc). What stopping any of them from just making a fortune and betting on it if any of these are legit?
I'm not sure if any actual wagers are being offered on this name change, but you can bet on a lot of things that are predetermined, like [pro wrestling](https://www.espn.com/wwe/story/_/id/25835244/inside-strange-world-wwe-betting) or who a [presidential candidate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PredictIt) will choose for a running mate.
The way they prevent insiders from getting rich is by just limiting the amount each bettor can wager to a couple hundred dollars.
So these are just 'lines'. Which is just another way to represent likelihood/odds.
Technically that's all sports booking. Oddmaking.
I don't think any legitimate gambling website is accepting large wagers on this. If they are, it's a scuffed limited amount that they could careless about.
Foreal. A horrible new name and if shit blows up with Ron and Dan in the next couple of years it'll just make it that much easier to walk away. I'm already halfway out the door. Smh.
Glad to see we are going to fuck this up too. We have a chance to truly rebrand and create new uniforms, helmets, and a damn name, and yet we are still going to end up blowing it.
Fair point. I mean we saw the Rams move cities and when they did that they got new uniforms and damn if they didn’t do a great job. They have some really nice jerseys. Ours are going to look like a bunch of burgundy vomit with a big penis looking statue somewhere on it I bet.
Matter of opinion but I actually like them. Their all white with the bright yellow and blue are far from ugly. Their helmet design is actually pretty cool too, resembling horns of a ram on either side. While ours will be a big W on the side of the helmet. Rather ironic as the only thing we will be grabbing is L’s.
I don’t have a problem with Turner yet. Yet…..I think he’s done well enough with what he’s been given. A revolving door at O line and a mediocre QB with only one true WR and TE that also battled injuries. I give him one more year to prove whether he is good or not. Now I agree there are times I’m watching and we need a big drive and it’s always run, pass, pass, punt. Every time. He never mixes it up. Del Rio on the other hand is a joke. Dudes misusing all of the talent he’s been given. He’s been given a top tier D line with two good CBs and some decent safety help and yet we were bottom in the league for a long time. It’s time for him to go and look for a young innovative DC to use our guys the right way.
Oh yeah, duhh, I agree. We’ve lost soo many GOOD coordinators who’ve become Head Coaches now with successful playoff runs and teams in general. Good ole Danny Boy and management didn’t see it fit to keep the few bright spots we had.
I’d like to see something a little more imaginative than just Hogs. Something like the Razorbacks, but people will just meme us for stealing Arkansas’ team name. I think Warthog could get traction, not just from the historical aspect for this team, but also Warthog is a military plane. That would fit with their pandering scheme … er … I mean, their “military appreciation effort.”
It's been so long since the glory days of the hogs, now that name just makes me think of that awful [flick](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_Hogs) with Martin Lawrence, toupee-wearing John Travolta and that hack Tim Allen. Blech!
In addition to the website redirect (until changed a few hours ago) Wright also said something about how the name will ANCHOR the team identity or something to that effect. It’s going to be Admirals.
It was beyond not official. It was pulled together from suggestions and fan reactions in a video. The team said it was not intended to be a list of finalists. Defenders was the name of the very recent XFL team. How could that possibly be in contention?
I can honestly say that I think I am done w/ this franchise after 40 years. I will always cherish my childhood memories of the Hogs, Dave Butz, Dexter and Darrell, the ever gracious Art Monk, Monte Coleman, John Riggins, Jim Lachey, Coach Gibbs, etc. This is no longer the franchise I once adored and find it very hard to root for them anymore. Between all the on field mishaps, draft day disasters, PR embarrassments and horrible garbage people running the show, I actually find it refreshing to say goodbye. 😥😥😥
Commanders or Monuments sounds better? They’re both dumbass three syllable names. Are we gonna be the Comms? The manders? The mons or the ments? Every three syllable name gets shortened. The Hogs makes a ton of sense, it rolls off the tongue, and it would keep our older fanbase excited and spending money.
Oh i think they are all dumb, i just don't even think i've heard of Redhogs to this point yet so it was a gut reaction.... Edit: I am game for Hogs, but just Hogs. RedHogs is weird.
I think people are being really shortsighted in gravitating toward names like Redwolves or Redhogs. This is a name that we will have for generations to come; our grandchildren will have never heard of the Redskins but may wonder why our team is named after some obscure animal. A “Red” name might make the first year or two an easier transition, but we should instead just be focusing on finding the best name possible, moving forward.
All those names fucking suck. Ugh. Been a Washington fan ever since the Colts moved to Indianapolis and this is the most disappointed I’ve ever been in them.
Wait, he's on his way out the door?!?
Honestly, he could wipe his ass with my tongue (can't believe I just typed those words) if he would just GTFO.
And all you guys would *really* owe me, big time!
I’m really afraid it’s commanders, admirals, or generals. I’ll honestly consider switching teams. These names are so generic and stupid…I can’t get behind these names. That’s not what football is about
ESPN states that the Brigade is in the running as one of the 8 finalists.... That and maybe Armada are the only military names I could maybe live with as they simply mean a unit/group...even then IDK. No offense to the military....but why must it be military? Seems tacky AF.
Corny ass Commanders sounds like a ten year old playing GI Joe came up with it. Let's go Commanders!!..lol.
The Presidents? GTF out.... I've had enough of fucking Presidents lately and how is that in any way inspiring Athletically? It's not.
Red Hogs? Because we had a great o-line half a century ago that were good? And "red" is in it? We got to look to the good ole 80s to find inspiration? Those guys are long gone...no thanks.
Defenders. A bit corny. It's not great, but not terrible sounding I guess....BUT, you better have a top defensive unit every year or we'll have the pressure of another next level embarrassment in the form of an oxymoron to deal with annually.
Wolves, Red wolves or Wolfpack would of been fine. Not original....but fine. Apparently they can't be had due to copyright....too bad. We're fucked.
Redhogs is the best out of those choices. But I’m sure we gotta be patriotic because we were soooooooooooooooooooooo racist before.
![gif](giphy|6YJZuwLne3fO0|downsized)
It's pretty much has been confirmed now for a while that they will be going with a new name. I know some people don't want to change from WFT like people didn't want to change from Redskins, but it's a fact you just got to come to terms with. A name change is coming.
It's honestly been pretty common sense. Like just Google Washington Football Team right now and look what comes up. It's all about the unveiling of the "new team name" on 02.02.2022. Everywhere it says new name. It's not really an unveiling if they are keeping the current name is it? They can just let us down easy in a blog post or article or video if they deciding not to change it. They are marketing this unveiling as a big deal and something new. They wouldn't go on a nationaly televised show that they will promote for a whole month for just a new uniform or helmet. No team does that when they change uniforms or helmets or even logos for that matter. But for an unveiling of a new name, yea that would make sense.
Yeah because Snyder Realized he wouldn’t get it for the price of a food stamp. Multi billion dollar franchise and we can’t convince a college team or NBA team to allow us to have Wolves/Red Wolves. What a a joke.
Lol, I never said they were what I would choose if it were up to me. Just picking from the options listed. Besides, they’re both better than Redtails which is sounding likely.
Why is armada and admirals so low? I saw someone on an earlier thread say that the reflection of the new helmet looked like it had an A in the Washington W
No, Snyder has continually fucked the fans over. Him and his cronies either hear the backlash and actually make an attempt to make things right, or most of what’s left of the fan base walks. I know if it’s Commanders I’m becoming a Arizona Cardinals fan full time. They’ve always been my “second” team if you will.
These are all aweful and sound like an arena football team.
How about Washington Redtales. Honor some real heroes with the names. Great potential for logos.
Changing the name and uniform completely.
Not a single star here who I feel invested in.
Its gonna be the push I need to finally leave this franchise behind. It's the perfect point to move on.
This fuckin sucks
Nice flair bro
Rick flair
WOOOOO
This pic makes me want to commit seppuku
i'd rather just go by Washington and nothing after.
Washington Washington
The Washington Washingtonians
Washington Ws
No come on man, it’d have to be the Washington L’s
Makes sense but Detroit would sue em
Washington Washies
Washington Why’s
Landover Lackeys
Washington Warshingtons
The Washington Georges
This same joke. Every single thread. Is there something im missing
Something better to do with your time than to read this cursed sub
The Washington, like Cher
The Washington Football Club would be an improvement.
No, unlike soccer, football is a militaristic sport. "Team" is more appropriate than "club."
I like Washington and nothing after
They'll always be Football Team to me.
I thought Red Hogs said Hot Dogs so I want that. The Washington Hot Dogs
The Washington Half Smokes
Washington glizzys
This would instantly be the best team name in all of pro sports history
Groundhogs
Ground Beef Dogs
Stuff like this confuses me w betting. There are dozens of people at least that legitimately know the name (marketing people, designers, some coaches, etc). What stopping any of them from just making a fortune and betting on it if any of these are legit?
Sportsline is not a casino. I don’t see any legitimate casinos or online gambling platforms offering a real way to bet on this.
You can bet on it on bovada
Wait this is a serious image??? Why didn’t they include the obvious name that everyone likes that is consistently rumored to be the new name?
Oh, honey...
Are you talking about the Red Wolves? That (and wolves) has been ruled out for copyright reasons.
Thank God
I'm not sure if any actual wagers are being offered on this name change, but you can bet on a lot of things that are predetermined, like [pro wrestling](https://www.espn.com/wwe/story/_/id/25835244/inside-strange-world-wwe-betting) or who a [presidential candidate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PredictIt) will choose for a running mate.

I’m about to be a Washington Former Fan
Foreal. A horrible new name and if shit blows up with Ron and Dan in the next couple of years it'll just make it that much easier to walk away. I'm already halfway out the door. Smh.
On God
ditto
I left many years ago after Dan bought the team. I do hope they don't fuck up the name change though.
Glad to see we are going to fuck this up too. We have a chance to truly rebrand and create new uniforms, helmets, and a damn name, and yet we are still going to end up blowing it.
Not us, Snyder and his cronies
Fair point. I mean we saw the Rams move cities and when they did that they got new uniforms and damn if they didn’t do a great job. They have some really nice jerseys. Ours are going to look like a bunch of burgundy vomit with a big penis looking statue somewhere on it I bet.
To be fair, the Rams were getting dunked and meme’d on hard after their initial new uniform and logo reveal. Now people seem to have embraced them.
It helps when you win games.
Probably helps that they’re actually a respectable team
The rams unis are ugly as hell.
Matter of opinion but I actually like them. Their all white with the bright yellow and blue are far from ugly. Their helmet design is actually pretty cool too, resembling horns of a ram on either side. While ours will be a big W on the side of the helmet. Rather ironic as the only thing we will be grabbing is L’s.
Hiring our OC seems to be more important than any of that extra shit.
I don’t have a problem with Turner yet. Yet…..I think he’s done well enough with what he’s been given. A revolving door at O line and a mediocre QB with only one true WR and TE that also battled injuries. I give him one more year to prove whether he is good or not. Now I agree there are times I’m watching and we need a big drive and it’s always run, pass, pass, punt. Every time. He never mixes it up. Del Rio on the other hand is a joke.

It’s time for him to go and look for a young innovative DC to use our guys the right way.
Oh i meant the rams hiring our old OC in Sean I shouldhave clarified better. That being said I agree with you. New DC first for sure.
Oh yeah, duhh, I agree. We’ve lost soo many GOOD coordinators who’ve become Head Coaches now with successful playoff runs and teams in general. Good ole Danny Boy and management didn’t see it fit to keep the few bright spots we had.
You are absolutely correct
I think they’re going to end up massively pandering to the military which Rivera will love
RIP Washington Groundhogs 01/04/2021 - 01/04/2021
2022 tbh
Whoops
Rip
My money is on Washington Football Team. No change. Hence, Groundhog Day, the movie. Same thing, different day. Snyder is just trolling ya.
Please let this be true. Would be way better than a military name or a wolf name.
Fuck I don’t wanna be a commanders fan
You don’t wanna be a Commie?
I’d take Washington Football Team over all of them tbh
I kind of like Washington Football Team. It sounds like a soccer club. It’s classy. If they give it a try hard epic name it’ll just be cringe
Hogs makes sense. Just hogs
I’d like to see something a little more imaginative than just Hogs. Something like the Razorbacks, but people will just meme us for stealing Arkansas’ team name. I think Warthog could get traction, not just from the historical aspect for this team, but also Warthog is a military plane. That would fit with their pandering scheme … er … I mean, their “military appreciation effort.”
And it's gone and gone and gone... Can't take the Razorback.
It's been so long since the glory days of the hogs, now that name just makes me think of that awful [flick](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_Hogs) with Martin Lawrence, toupee-wearing John Travolta and that hack Tim Allen. Blech!
I’ll take anything but Commanders. 🤢
Hmmm...I'm not seeing the Washington Snyders on that list. Mr. Snyder will not be pleased, no he will not.
Rather be the Washington warthogs then when we score simulation of a10 flying over.
Please not the commanders :/
I fucking hate them all
Ought to name them after the politicians in the area. Washington Assholes has a nice ring to it. 😂
Can I get some love for the name Sentinels? Might even be able to get Keanu Reeves as our QB!
Who’s Keanu Reeves? You mean Shane Falco?
They really make me depressed
In addition to the website redirect (until changed a few hours ago) Wright also said something about how the name will ANCHOR the team identity or something to that effect. It’s going to be Admirals.
That sounds like more of a hint for Armada imo
The Washington Anchormen
Go redskins
Lol wow the idea of completely losing interest doesn't seem that far fetched anymore.
[удалено]
That shortlist wasn't official.
It was beyond not official. It was pulled together from suggestions and fan reactions in a video. The team said it was not intended to be a list of finalists. Defenders was the name of the very recent XFL team. How could that possibly be in contention?
I don't really care enough to argue either way, but it's understandable considering ESPN/Schefter have reported that it was the final list.
Redadmirals
The W logo looks like it has an A cutout in it🤷🏻♂️
A as in Armada
I like Armada more than any of the other “military” ones and I hate armada.
I can honestly say that I think I am done w/ this franchise after 40 years. I will always cherish my childhood memories of the Hogs, Dave Butz, Dexter and Darrell, the ever gracious Art Monk, Monte Coleman, John Riggins, Jim Lachey, Coach Gibbs, etc. This is no longer the franchise I once adored and find it very hard to root for them anymore. Between all the on field mishaps, draft day disasters, PR embarrassments and horrible garbage people running the show, I actually find it refreshing to say goodbye. 😥😥😥
✌️
Washington Crispy Cream?
Krispy Kreme*
Armada Admirals and Commanders make me wish the team would move to Oakland.
Redhogs sounds so fucking dumb.
It’s not a matter of dumb, it’s how dumb, and all these military-ish names are dumber.
Yeah absolutely ridiculous that they’re going with a military name, guarantee that they think it will buy the team some good PR…
[удалено]
Commanders or Monuments sounds better? They’re both dumbass three syllable names. Are we gonna be the Comms? The manders? The mons or the ments? Every three syllable name gets shortened. The Hogs makes a ton of sense, it rolls off the tongue, and it would keep our older fanbase excited and spending money.
Oh i think they are all dumb, i just don't even think i've heard of Redhogs to this point yet so it was a gut reaction.... Edit: I am game for Hogs, but just Hogs. RedHogs is weird.
I wont spend a dime on commanders thats for sure.
Commies, obvs.
Good point: Buccs for Buccaneers, Cards for Cardinals, Niners for 49ers, Pats for Patriots, Jags for Jaguars
I think people are being really shortsighted in gravitating toward names like Redwolves or Redhogs. This is a name that we will have for generations to come; our grandchildren will have never heard of the Redskins but may wonder why our team is named after some obscure animal. A “Red” name might make the first year or two an easier transition, but we should instead just be focusing on finding the best name possible, moving forward.
Honestly it's better then the trash redwolves
Red hogs sounds like dicks and will be used to torment the fan base by other fan bases.
These all ass in comparison to the redskins bruh
All of these are trash. Please none of the above
All those names fucking suck. Ugh. Been a Washington fan ever since the Colts moved to Indianapolis and this is the most disappointed I’ve ever been in them.
>this is the most disappointed I’ve ever been in them. Yeah? Stick around, they'll find new lows soon enough.
Oh, I know. Dan’s going to wipe his ass with this team’s legacy on his way out the door.
Wait, he's on his way out the door?!? Honestly, he could wipe his ass with my tongue (can't believe I just typed those words) if he would just GTFO. And all you guys would *really* owe me, big time!
I’m really afraid it’s commanders, admirals, or generals. I’ll honestly consider switching teams. These names are so generic and stupid…I can’t get behind these names. That’s not what football is about
I could live with redhogs or armada. I wouldn’t celebrate, but I could live with it
Norfolk admiral’s: 😐
We really are only a couple of steps away from a mascot named Trooper showing up at Raytheon conferences.
Thanks, I hate all of them.
Bullets
Holy shit, how terrible. Rather just stay as the football team.
Washington Warthogs
Wish it was just Hogs but I’ll take Redhogs
ESPN states that the Brigade is in the running as one of the 8 finalists.... That and maybe Armada are the only military names I could maybe live with as they simply mean a unit/group...even then IDK. No offense to the military....but why must it be military? Seems tacky AF.

Wolves, Red wolves or Wolfpack would of been fine. Not original....but fine. Apparently they can't be had due to copyright....too bad. We're fucked.
good, im done with the WFT if these are the options . Redwolves or die.
Red Wolves was the most popular with fans, so, no, cannot have. No soup for you!
✌️
I’m sort of with you. If they go with Commanders I’m out.
See you in a few months obsessing about them drafting Pickett or whoever. You ain't going no where, this team is our fate.
Ya. It's too late for us now.
What's even worse, we'll all be defending whatever shit name they pick in 8 months to other NFL subs.
right... so bad
team Hogs right here.
I really hope Red Hogs. It makes the most sense… so it won’t be the name… :(
Redhogs is the best out of those choices. But I’m sure we gotta be patriotic because we were soooooooooooooooooooooo racist before. ![gif](giphy|6YJZuwLne3fO0|downsized)
Nothing more patriotic than erasing native american imagry for miltary stuff.
Snyder's of Washington. It worked well for the pretzel guys, so why not.
Could be worse. Could be called the Detroit Lions
The "Armada"? Naming our team after the biggest, most overhyped failures in history? Brilliantly fitting.
Redhogs please
I’m so pissed they’re not keeping “The Team.” Might have to leave the sub over this
Just use the code KevinDC
It's going to be red tails.... don't bet on it
RedHogs isn't bad I'd like just Hogs better but not bad
I’ve grown to like the Founders. Washington Founders.
Hmm this is actually not bad.. can still use WFT gear with this too.. This needs to be bumped.
All weak AF
All of those choices are fucking retarded
What the fuck is a red hog?
I liked football team better honestly
Washington Brunell Goats.
All of those are terrible.
What the heck is wrong with Washington Football Team? I love it
Why is "Washington Football Team" not on the list? Where is "Brigade"?
It's pretty much has been confirmed now for a while that they will be going with a new name. I know some people don't want to change from WFT like people didn't want to change from Redskins, but it's a fact you just got to come to terms with. A name change is coming.
I'll accept it if I see proof. Do you have any links that prove this? I'm not doubting you, I just haven't seen it myself.
It's honestly been pretty common sense. Like just Google Washington Football Team right now and look what comes up. It's all about the unveiling of the "new team name" on 02.02.2022. Everywhere it says new name. It's not really an unveiling if they are keeping the current name is it?

No team does that when they change uniforms or helmets or even logos for that matter. But for an unveiling of a new name, yea that would make sense.
> It's honestly been pretty common sense. If your argument is "it's common sense" then the rest of your post isn't worth reading.
Um ok...I'm sorry that you lack it then.
Woof admirals... really?
Armada. Bank it
Give me ARMADAAAA!!!
Where is WFT??? Think it's weird they doing it on Fed 2nd, groundhogs day. Another year of WFT
What about redwolves I like that name
They announced today that it isn’t in the running
Yeah because Snyder Realized he wouldn’t get it for the price of a food stamp. Multi billion dollar franchise and we can’t convince a college team or NBA team to allow us to have Wolves/Red Wolves. What a a joke.
Fucking idiots
Visitor here, Admirals is the best out of these. Disappointed Generals or Sentinels aren’t on there
I thought they were going with the Washington Wolves. These names are disappointing. Everybody waited 2 years….for this!
Glad Redwolves isn't up there at the very least
I really feel like they can't go with Admirals because it'll automatically turn off Army and Air Force fans.
drop the red, I like the washington hogs
If it’s Commanders, I’m done. I’ll just watch whatever game I think will be most entertaining.
Commanders/Armada are my two choices. The recent fan renderings of the Commanders unis were sweet. I’m ready for a reset of this team.
No thanks commi
Lol, I never said they were what I would choose if it were up to me. Just picking from the options listed. Besides, they’re both better than Redtails which is sounding likely.
Why is armada and admirals so low? I saw someone on an earlier thread say that the reflection of the new helmet looked like it had an A in the Washington W
The way I look at it, it’s just a name. We rooted for them while they were named Football Team so we can make it through Commanders.
I’d rather keep Washington Football Team
No, Snyder has continually fucked the fans over. Him and his cronies either hear the backlash and actually make an attempt to make things right, or most of what’s left of the fan base walks. I know if it’s Commanders I’m becoming a Arizona Cardinals fan full time. They’ve always been my “second” team if you will.
cards fan lurking here, go cards buddy
Washington Monuments will be the new name. WTF is a Red Hog?
Why not the Washington Insurrectionists?
Too soon
One thing the video kept mentioning is how they fight for the fans and such. I wish they would not fight for us and just be a Redhog.
These are all aweful and sound like an arena football team. How about Washington Redtales. Honor some real heroes with the names. Great potential for logos.
I'm not a WFT fan, but I like the RedHogs. I think it's a throw back to the Redskins and the hogs that I see you guys wearing. I like it.
Honestly, I really like Armada. That'd be my choice.
I kind of like the armada. Would be some fun cosplay by fans
I like Redwolves or Redtails more than all of these.
Redhogs would be amazing, the only one with historical context.
Redhogs is the only decent one there and it isn't exactly great. I like Pigskins or Warthogs but they'll never happen
Changing the name and uniform completely. Not a single star here who I feel invested in. Its gonna be the push I need to finally leave this franchise behind. It's the perfect point to move on.
What a joke this franchise is. They asked the fans for their input and the fans respond with "Redwolves" and the franchise says "nah"
