Washington to reveal new name Feb. 2; won’t be RedWolves

Washington’s NFL team announced Tuesday it will unveil its new name on Feb. 2 and that it will not be called the Wolves or RedWolves.

Commanders, Defenders, Red Hogs, Armada, Presidents, Brigade and the status quo “Washington Football Team” were the other finalists.

Team president Jason Wright said the decision was made not to go with Wolves or RedWolves because of trademarks held by other organizations. Those possibilities were popular among Washington fans.

The new helmets and uniforms will still feature the franchise’s signature burgundy-and-gold colors. A video teasing the reveal also included a “W” logo making an appearance.

Don't like any of the names left they have listed. I think they are all terrible.

Washington Swamp Creatures

Gridlock is also a great idea. Or Washington Red Ink.
There's also WA Crimson Epidermis, but that's probably too many syllables.

Of the names they listed "Commanders, Admirals, Armada, Brigade, Sentinels, Defenders, Red Hogs, Presidents"

I like Commanders and Sentinels.

Defenders was already the XFL team

Admirals is too specific to Navy, a burgundy team just can't be related to Navy stuff

Presidents seems to political, each new president could become and instant Meme

Red Hogs, may fit the fan base but what an ugly mascot.

Aramada is alright.

Brigade is alright

Wranglers.
Red Ryders.
You'd have thought that the Ownership would have gotten the W fans involved in the re-name with some kind of contest.
