A new name is definitely on the way for the Washington Redskins.
On Monday, the team formally announced that not only was the Redskins nickname retired, but also the logo as well. Washington has reportedly yet to decide on a new name, but an announcement is probably coming soon.
Multiple names are gaining popularity on social media, but none more than the the Red Wolves that also have mock jerseys and helmets to go with it.
Former NFL wide receiver Chad Johnson saw the mock-up online and he absolutely loved that idea of the team being called the Red Wolves.
“Holy f–k yes,” Johnson wrote.
Former Washington cornerback Fred Smoot is also a fan of that name as well as pushed for the idea on Twitter as well.
