We all know that Washington had to change their name a year ago due to the obvious racial profiling of the name. They decided that the best way to not rush some bogus name was to call themselves "Football Team".
Some people might say that this decision was dumb, but I am not one of those people. The name Football Team fits so well I wish that's what they were the entire time. You see it in soccer all the time with teams being called "Football Club", so what's wrong with it now?
CBS Sports released the final eight names the organization has narrowed it down to.
Now let's go down the list and review why everyone of the other team names sucks.
Armada: I had to look this one up, first thing that pooped up was a Nissan car with the same name, but basically this word means "armed". So basically they want to be the Washington Armed. Lol.
Brigade: A big wall of protection for soldiers, this would be cool if football only involved the offensive line.
Commanders: This one is trying so hard to be like the Patriots, three syllables, probably would have a similar logo, i'm out.
Defenders: Way to copy the XFL on this one guys, by the way the Rock is bringing it back so chill out and let the DC Defenders keep their turf.
Presidents: Dude, we get it, you guys are in D.C. but this basically means half the country will hate you anyway every four years.
Redhogs: This is probably second best on the list. and also has some team history to it from what I researched. The thing that makes this one suck is way too many people would just end up saying "Redhawks" or at least sounding like it. Red Flag. See ya.
Redwolves: Can't have two names this similar, probably some terrible discussion going on in the board room with this one, just go with wolves if anything.
So that leaves with the one and only Washington Football Team, which in it's one year of existence has a divison title, and no I do not care that it was with the worst division maybe ever. They got it done and looked like a 10 win team at the end of the year.
The logo is already sick, the basic numbers on the helmets are something that replicates Alabama who is super good at football for anyone who somehow didn't know that. Give me the simplicity all day every day. Brands around the world are doing it and so should they. Keep it real. You're a Football Team, not a bunch Nissan Armadas.
