The Washington Football Team Needs No Name Change: Unchecked

There's no need to change the name of the Washington Football Team, WFT should stay.

There’s no need for a name change, just keep it the Washington Football Team!

Washington Football Team co-CEO, Tanya Snyder, says the franchise's naming search is down to *three* candidates 👀

Which nickname do you think it will be? 🤔

It’s what they've been called for the longest time anyway. Plus, it's unique and sounds prestigious. Washington Football Team. I feel important whenever I say it. Which is a lot better than can be said for the previous moniker.

Would I rather be called tbe Washington Football Team permanently than some generic name like Commanders or Defenders? Yes. At least WFT is unique

Not to mention it allows them to keep the same color scheme while in a sense maintaining a nod to their history. Though perhaps they might be better off forgetting their recent history Then there’s also the fact that the other choices floating around simply aren’t up to snuff. Presidents? Armada? Yuck.

Clarification: A WFT spokesperson said this morning that the list of eight names is a selection of names that were highlighted in their Making the Brand video, not a final list of potential name candidates. https://t.co/GpzvFMvvcH

And Red Hogs, Defenders, Brigade and Commanders certainly ain’t it either. When I looked at the list of some other options the only other name I’d even be remotely cool with is Red Wolves, which I’ll admit is kind of fire.

But overall, I think the reason this might be taking so long is because one, of course it is a big decision relative to how important an NFL team name is in the grand scheme of things, and two because they’ve had the answer all along. If Washington Football Team wasn’t a strong candidate, it wouldn’t still be in the running.

The fact that The Washington Football Team is still a possibility makes me even more confident it’s gonna stay The Washington Football Team lol and I’m okay with that. Idk why the name doesn’t matter to me? I just wanna win.

So, Daniel Snyder do something right for once and don’t mess up what is actually working in Washington (as we all know it’s tough to get people to agree in DC). So, if you’re in agreement with me, you support the Washington Football Team name.

The “Washington Football Team” has grown on me. I like it.

Because at this point I’d say WTF if they change WFT.
