Football FedEx asks Redskins to change name - Page 56

comochiefsfan · 07-02-2020, 04:09 PM

JUST IN: @FedEx has asked the Washington @Redskins to change its name. Here is the statement:

“We have communicated to the team in Washington our request that they change the team name.“

Here we go. I think part of the reason we’ve been safe from this kind of stuff is because the Redskins have always been a bigger target. Now that there’s pressure from sponsors Snyder is going to feel the heat like never before.

If they go down, make no mistake, the mob will come for us next.

Effective immediately, Washington will call itself the “Washington Football Team”, pending adoption of a new name, sources tell ESPN.

This is not a final renaming and rebranding for team; this is the name it wants to use until pending adoption of a new name in the future. pic.twitter.com/sBs0Uo0ICm

So they are the Washington TBD’s.

FloridaMan88 · 07-23-2020, 01:09 PM

They could go the international futbol way and call themselves Washington FC.

Some T-shirt company sold 1500 T-shirts of this in one week.

It'll take months to sort through the name alone, let alone getting a logo and associated branding in place that you don't regret in a year. After that, they have to print new signs, business cards, modify uniforms...it's a lot.

I was surprised when they said they wanted to get it done this year because it's just not that easy most of the time.

Gravedigger · 07-23-2020, 03:24 PM

I mean what else are they realistically supposed to do, they are demanded to change their name, file patents, copyrights, print merch, change uniforms, change helmets, and just so many things that come with a brand change of this magnitude. This is them saying, "Back off, we'll get it later this year, no need to rush this." I'm a fan of this, looks old school for now. This kind of gear will sell like hotcakes because of the likely one year it will be in circulation before being cut off.

...and yet the domain name is still redskins.com

Maybe the Washington NoNames can get Garmin as their new sponsor, that way they'll never have to explain the obvious when things aren't working.

February 2nd is when Washington is going to announce their new team name. They picked groundhog’s day to do this, some think they chose this day because somehow Hog will be in the name. Maybe Washington Red Hogs, that sounds awful. Their offensive line was nickname the Hogs when they were dominating the NFL. Any legitimate guesses. They announced Red Wolves will not be chosen.
