Washington Football Team it is, for 2020:

Makes sense. They did not have enough time to come up with a new team. There is marketing a copy right stuff they have to deal with as well

True. If they'd gone with a "placeholder" logo/nickname they would have diluted the brand. Granted, they should have at least prepared for this possibility decades ago, or when the trademark suit was filed against them in the early 10's, but better to wait and develop a strong mark/logo now than just throw one out there in a rush.

We signed Mahomes to a 10 year deal, I'm sure ya'll heard though.

Whew, wish I was making that $$.

Hopefully he has an out. That's a looong deal and the QB market will likely double in value (at least) in the next decade. But it's good for KC, PP.

Rumblings about "Sentinels" is going around the internet. But I wouldn't rush into it.

I think they are trying to have "Red" in the name. I know they are keeping their color scheme. Heard Red Hawks is another one.

But with the covid 19 there won't be any football for the next 11 years

Chris Jones said KC is gonna win at least 5 Super Bowls.

He believing all the media hype. Hell he better hope KC wins the AFC West 5 times

because if Drew Lock continues to ascend at qb Denver will be coming. They are loaded at

the skill positions too although I would still take KC's at this point. Also a healthy Bradley

Chubb paired with Von Miller on defense. They may be a bit of a problem in the AFC West this season.

Yeah maybe, over a 100 year period

It took us 50 years to win this one.

So 2 in a 50 year span, my mistake. Over a 150 year span

Tyreek Hill followed him up and said more than 5.
I can admit they will be good for at least 1 more during Mahommes career
but pump the brakes on winning that many Super Bowls in this era. It's not
that easy.

it would be best. I'd just play as "Washington" this year.

Yeah I like the red wolves. They probably won't use the red hawks since the Eagles are in the NFC East, plus there are a lot of bird teams in the NFL.

I actually like the choice of Red Wolves. The early logo design even looks nice.

Not a bad look. Not at all. I'm hearing Sentinels is another option. I think they want to make sure the name can be retrofit into the fight song.

That looks nice, but I would have kept the old logo and used "Washington Football Club" for the name. IMO, the old logo wasn't racist (unlike the stereotypical Cleveland Indians logo), just the name.

True, unless they can get it under control, soon.

I agree, I can't even see having the Olympics next summer as well. Imagine what a covid social distancing Super Bowl would look like

Alex Smith is coming back. Wow I did not know he had 17 operations for his leg. Had a flesh eating disease, almost lost his leg, and life.

The NBA & NFL might be able to pull this off with their 'bubble cities'....that's impossible to do in the NFL because of the roster size, and more staff personnel.

he's not back...they put him on the Unable To Perfom list

He came a long way after his injury and that flesh eating virus

It's an amazing story but the medical staff for WFT nearly cost him his leg and life.

I wouldn't go to that hospital

Washington's medical staff reportedly mishandled his injury, and Trent Williams' injury (which could have also cost him his life). Trent -- probably Washington's best player of the last 15 years and one of the few drafted in the Snyder on the road to Canton -- refused to play another down for the team.

The NFL really dropped the ball with COVID-19....they should have been formulating a plan (like the NBA & NHL) since March, but they wasted so much time. They expect players to travel cross country, stay at hotels and NOT get the virus? Yeah, right.....

who needs football?...baseball is back and Giancarlo Stanton is knocking the ball all over the stadium in D.C., against Scherzer...

Games are getting put on hold left and right with the covid

All the leagues thought things would be much better managed at every level of government, and the rates would be at a manageable enough level to resume business as usual by summer.

It was "too much like right" to think that.
