I was having a field day posting mocking comments about potential, alternate nicknames. https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2020/07/23/washington-redskins-new-team-name-washington-football-team/#comments-wrapper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawkins4prez Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I honestly think you guys are kinda nuts to be making fun of it. Washington Football Team is simultaneously extremely classic in the context of global sports franchises and dare I say, avante garde for an NFL team. The unis are minimalist and clean, it's not like the color scheme was ever an issue for Washington. I actually think they could rock this look and own the whole "no name" vibe.

It was the execution, which was botched in the traditional Redskins manner. They did not announce this was going to their name, they announced this would happen for this season only. Then they put the lame "football team” stuff over everything as if it were their new logo. Barcelona FC doesn’t do that. Their full name is "Barcelona FC”. If they went by "FC” they would be ridiculed too. I don’t disagree. I like the Unis, and I think that Washington FT could stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know its the Skins and Dan Snyder, but you kinda have to cut them slack here. They had ZERO plans to change thename just two weeks ago. It's a pretty major decision.

Sure, I get that it would have been difficult to come up with an ideal logo or uniform in that time frame, but the could still have come up with a NAME in two weeks. Just give them a generic uniform without a logo -- which is precisely what they did anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like this is the first time they have been asked to change their name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uhhh.... considering they have been under pressure to change the name for over two decades, the fact they DIDN'T have a contingency plan in place speaks to their incompetence.

VaBeach_Eagle Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Since the Washington Redskins no longer exist and they're now 'The Washington Football Team', their past Super Bowls remain with the Redskins... this new team has never won a Super Bowl. So, in the NFC East, the Washington Football Team is the only team to never win a Super Bowl... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I was just saying this to Schmoopie earlier: During his draft, I was finishing up the tile work at our rental property. We are talking hands and knees s*** in the hardest corner (the bedroom length closet) of the house. So while I had the draft on, I could only keep an ear on it and not check the interwebs and what not. Thin set mortar and electronics don’t mix. Anyway, I heard what a talent he was supposed to be (I’m not a college guy, so my opinion means nothing) and watched him drop. I thought, holy crap, if he really is this good, this solves the Smallwood problem. He drops to the skins. We have Smallwood. I’m pissed. a few years later, we win it all, Smallwood goes to the rwords, and guice is out of the league. This is why I’m never going to be a gm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
