    I kind of got used to WFT to be honest. But among these, I liked Red Tails.

    The Lieutenant commanders will be "offended".

    The Washington Parasites is the most fitting.

    I thought it was nearly confirmed to be the Admirals because they bought the domain?

    I liked WFT. They should’ve kept it to be unique.

    If they come out with anything but the Washington Generals I will be sorely disappointed.

    They'll never do it, but I'd love to see the Washington Pigskins.

    Wow Chicago is still "getting away" with Blackhawks

    It's not the US Capital I guess

    So my pick is >>>Washington Presidents

    Second choice is Washington Lobbyists:p

    Third is Washington Security Guards honoring the defenders of our Democracy last Jan 6th:rolleyes:

    Black Hawk was a great Sauk warrior. Not a tribal name or a derivation based on his appearance.

    Not sure how native Americans would view a great warrior's name being used as a team name however it should be noted that Blackhawk was never used as a term of derision the way that Redskins was.

    Edit: just realized that non-native Americans might have a problem with the name. Black Hawk and his people fought for the British in the war of 1812.

    I have no problem with Native American team names like Blackhawks, but Redskins is a slur.

    Enough Native Americans that it shouldn't be used as a name for a football team.

    Surely there has to be something unique about the capital region than just boring government related names

    like for example, DC is known for its cherry blossoms. Why not that? The Washington Cherries or the DC Blossoms?

    —-

    I also think Washington Gridlock would be a good name, a name with double meaning, symbolizing the awful traffic of the region but also a tongue-in-cheek shot at the politics

    Hogs is good out of that list imo because it’s not something generic like the others

    It just occurred to me that if Washington took the name "Cheeto-eating Clowns" they would probably become America's team overnight.

    Just do it.

    Plz?
