Teams Washington Commanders - Приветствую командиров ™

Messaged WFTs twitter....

Shame it's too late....but DC Warlocks is so cool, and Washington Werewolves as good. Both tie in with existing teams with supernatural themed names (Wizards, Mystics).

Just stronger and something fans can get behind more than a political or military theme, and away from race (red tails).

Warriors is good, but avoiding Golden State, and being unique, Warlocks or Werewolves.

Pigskins would be interesting to stay near the former team name.

Commanders = Commies. Admirals, Armada, Brigade, all so weak and safe.

So many amateur/semi-pro clubs come up with unique and fascinating names but big pro clubs too scared, use boring generic names.

Hellbenders a local salamanda, so interesting

Belters as a local colloquialism for Beltway...like how Roughnecks or 49ers is to those regions. Another alternative.

Not a fan of Warlocks or Werewolves, sorry. Reckon they are horrible.

Better than Commanders surely?

The Washington Mike Vrabel's would be the go.

I like Redwolves best. Never been a fan of most mythical names for some reason.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Angels in baseball works well , Demons in football, other than that, I reckon the rest pretty much suck.

They ruled that out due to Arkansas State already called Red Wolves, and Wolverines taken by Michigan. Guess they want a wholly unique name too, regardless of trademarks.

Why many fans on reddit been brainstorming alternative names.

Seattle Kraken is actually good too, maybe I lie, I just dont like Wizards and Werewolves perhaps haha

There are a TON of very cool different names used by amateur/semi-pro teams. If you did a search, too many to name here. But Kraken is another example of the creativity of such clubs. I lament that the big pro clubs steer to the safe boring generic names.

Orlando Magic is a far better name than the Washington Wizards imo.

I liked when they were the Washington Bullets, but political correctness gone mad :/

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Miami Heat is another great sports team name. The NBA really got it right when they brought Orlando and Miami in the same year.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

You could have used Warriors , just spruced it up a bit to make it more Washington, something like The Washington Crimson Warriors.

There are some good EPL ones. Again, a sense of tradition keeping really old names, always so many cool names from the old days.....Dayton Triangles, Packers etc. Shinboners, Same Olds, Rabbitohs.

Hate the modern era names in comparison

I reckon the way the W looks on the helmet may allude to the nickname starting with A: Armada, Armory, Arsenal. Total speculation on my part.

Agree that it can look like an A. Not happy tho if its Admirals/Armada. So bad.

 

[troybe]

I didn’t mean to imply my suggestions were any good just thinking of names that start with A that aren’t being used

Imply away! No problem. I just personally hate all those kind of generic names.
Can't think of an interesting/cool "A" name tho???

 

[Exe Gesis]

With Warlocks, as I posted....the cheerleaders could then be named The Hags (witches), and the fan section called The Hagettes.

Play on words with Hogs and Hogettes.

I can picture it, too funny.

 

[Exe Gesis]

Or, with Werewolves....

Singing....ahoo, Werewolves of Langdon, ahoo....

 

[troybe]

It will defo be something military inspired. Commanders, Armory, Admirals. Griffins would be cool to honour RG III, former Redskins QB
