I'm a little confused as to how Warriors became something exclusively Native American but it's a lame name anyway and people will just accuse them of trying to emulate Golden State so I don't think they should use it in any case

A lot of it is the associated logos, mascots etc. A local high school was the Warriors, but instead of changing the name, they changed the mascot from Native American imagery to a dude with a battleaxe and sword, so more like a Viking or medieval type of dude. Golden State doesn't have associated Native imagery, but I would be willing to be that at the high school level the majority of teams called the Warriors have Native American imagery.

Cleveland picked the Gaurdians because of how it sounds similar to Indians. So therefore: Washington Foreskins.

They nailed it with "Washington Football Team", I don't know why they're dragging this out. It's futureproof, while still lowkey respecting the franchise's past by not trying to replace or erase the old moniker. The loss of identity IS the identity.

It would make it harder to move the team in 10 years.

It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.

Redhogs and sticking with WFT are their best options. The military ones are lame as hell.

RedHogs would result in the best sports page headlines.

Presidents would also provide some funny ones, but everything else about it would suck.

Commanders and Defenders at least have sport connotations. Not that they're good names.

The video had a bunch of Redwolves logos, which really felt like a trial balloon.

Wolves would be good. Adding the ‘red’ just seems like they want the subtle reminder of what the old name was.

To be fair "red wolf" is an actual species native to the area.

Huh, didn’t know that. Looking it up, almost functionally extinct in the wild. Long term use as a mascot maybe not advisable. Or could bring recognition and help with recovery. I’m in for Wolves, Redwolves, or Armada.

Arkansas State already changed its name from "Indians" to "Red Wolves"; it would be kind of weird for Washington to do the same thing.
