Odds are on “Commanders” and “Redhogs.”

On edit: per this and other articles, management has already narrowed it to 7-10 choices, which are spelled out in the article if you are interested.

1. Why not the Washington Filibusters?

"we'll stop your progress on the field"

5. LOL! Nt

[maxsolomon]

2. The DC Pettifoggers?

The Washington Columbians? It is the District of Columbia...

Seriously, none of the proposed names are good.

Somehow, many Soccer teams get by with "FC" (Football Club), which is basically what they're named now.

3. I like

The Washington Redtails.

They were some amazing pilots and heroes of World War II (may it be the last major war)

[mercuryblues]

8. that is what I think

That way they can keep the feather.

[Jerry2144]

16. the colors also work

But I really like the idea of honoring those heroes. They really were people our country should be proud of and should provide more honors to.

Great American heroes! I could even consider cheering for them with that name. I was a Cowboys fan years ago. But I am feeling much better, now.

4. They're keeping the "skins" part of the name.

The Washington Foreskins.

[Claire Oh Nette]

6. Washington Scandals

7. A year ago Ron Rivera said he wanted the name to have a military tie-in

Generals or something like that is probably it
Trump would love it. As I recall his usfl team was the generals

9. Besides "commanders", "admirals" and "the brigade" are among the remaining choices. Nt

12. They should just choose an animal

[spooky3]

13. "Wolves" was a favorite of some fans but legal reasons caused it to be eliminated. Nt

[MichMan]

10. Washington Generals were the Globetrotters inept opponents

[Elwood P Dowd]

15. Then the name Generals will work because they almost always looked inept since

Dan Snyder purchased the team.

[CanonRay]

11. I heard "Admirals"

[spooky3]

14. That's one of the remaining possibilities per the article. Nt

[VMA131Marine]

17. I still think The Beltway Bandits

is the most appropriate choice.

[LakeArenal]

18. Washington Monuments.

[TheRealNorth]

19. I always liked "The Replacements" as a feel-good movie.

So I would vote Washington Sentinels (if Warner Bros. hasn't trademarked it).
