Could it be we'll see the Washington "RedHogs" soon enough in 2022? (1 Viewer)

[Yogibear]

I just checked on Yahoo.com, and the new team name for the Washington Football Team will be revealed within the next six months to 1 year.  There are about 8 choices that management has narrowed it down to.  The name that sticks out to me is the RedHogs.  The reason for that is when they were called their other team name, and they were winning Super Bowls under coach Joe Gibbs, their offensive line was nicknamed "the Hogs."  And their fans were wearing hog masks.  They even went to coach Joe Gibbs himself and he said he would be disappointed if they didn't adopt the name "RedHogs" as a permanent name.  And even some players who won Super Bowls under Joe Gibbs want the team to adopt the name "RedHogs."  I think "RedHogs" would be a perfect team name for Washington.  As far as I'm concerned, the name Washington Football Team is not permanent, and it shouldn't be a permanent name.  The name "RedHogs" would keep the Washington tradition name alive & give that fanbase stability.  What does everyone think their name should be?  Is anyone in agreement with me that the name should be the "RedHogs"?

Redhogs is a terrible name. 

just “Hogs” would be solid.

Snyder will probably keep it WTF just to flip a middle finger to the league for daring to tell a billionaire what he can or can’t name something.

For future MNF games, they should get The Fixx to perform RedHogs At Night

 

[Wrigley]

I've grown fond of the way it is

That would certainly fixx the problem.

 

[Insein]

I've said from the beginning they should just call themselves the Pigskins. Then all the old paraphernalia that just says "Skins" is still good. Plus the Hogs still works.

I have just enough dyslexia to where the first time I saw WFT,  I read it as WTF.

 

[Dizzy]

Don't see the need for "Red" ahead of Hogs. Unless it's just an attempt to recycle part of the Redskins name?

Is the RedHogs -  one word, 2 caps - intentional, or should it be Red Hogs (or Redhogs)?

Maybe the Red Football Team... and Sammy Hagar (the Red Rocker) could sing the anthem every week.

What happened to Redtails?

Yes. Me too.

 

[zamboni]

I still like the Redrums, with Tony the finger as the mascot.

 

[King of the Jungle]

Redspins….least amount of adjustment to remarket.

They should really be called the Washington Team of Football

As long as we get saved by zeros from Gibson.

RedHogs is the dumbest of the 8 choices I last saw, so as a Cowboys fan I hope that's the one they select.

Gibson should have plenty of running lanes with those receivers stretching the field.  One thing leads to another.

 

[nittanylion]

I'll stand or fall with the WFT, regardless of what name they decide on.

dumbest name ever. tha hell is a redhog? redskins + hogs??? just plain silly.

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I like the simplicity of WFT.

Red Baron with a post-Anthem flyover?

A friend of mine owns a company called

WTF

 

[ffmail4me]

The Washington Riggins. 

 

[Sam Quentin]

Washington Lizards would have been perfect….missed opportunity 

 

[wgoldsph]

I've done a complete 180 on Football Team and now will support it until the end of time.  Also "red" anything seems scuzzy.

 

[DallasDMac]

Snyder has to love the attention this has been getting. Just name the ####ing tem already.

 

[zamboni]

The Washington Riggins. 

The Washington Posse

 

[Ron_Mexico]

answer = Football Team

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

What happened to Redtails?

Probably not the best idea to change the name from a mascot depicting group of “POC” to a different group of “POC”. 
 

They lucked into the Football team by accident. People actually like it and the unis look great. Anything they do on purpose is surely to be a disaster.

I thought Redtail was a hawk?

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

I thought Redtail was a hawk?

It is but from the everything Ive read that was more for the WWII pilots. 

That reminds me of a old joke....

What do you call a black man flying an airplane?

....

...

A PILOT!, you racist %&*#@$%!!!!

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

It is but that's not what they were referring to.

Oh, interesting. Thanks for the reference - I hadn’t heard that one. 

 

[tangfoot]

Of the finalists, the only one that doesn't make me cringe is WFT.  The others are godawful.

 

[offdee]

This is exactly why they would NOT do this.  They don't care about stuff you already have...they want to sell you NEW gear.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

What do you call a black man flying an airplane?

Roger Murdock?

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Exactly. If it were up to Snyder they'd have a new name every year. 

 

[Insein]

Yep. Also something I realized pretty early on. 

 

[Mister CIA]

I'm kind of a hater on this franchise, but the numerals on the helmets is awesome to the 11th.

 

[Ardbeg4ever]

As long as Fitz throws to F1 deeper and deeper, I'll be happy with whatever they are called.
