The Washington fan base is making their voices heard in what they want the new team name to be.
According to the Washington Post, more than 40,000 fans of the team have suggested new names to replace the old ‘Redskins’ nickname.
The Washington Red Wolves.
“Red Wolves — or Redwolves, one word — is among the most frequently suggested options in the debate…”
Other top possibilities have emerged as well:
- Warriors
- Red Tails
- Football Team
Any new name won’t be in place until the 2022 season.
