It’s going to sound weird and bad no matter what it is until we have a season or 2 of saying it, then everyone won’t care.

If they really wanted something authoritative-sounding they should've gone with Marshals imo. Ties to the region too "Sentinels" is just grey and lifeless edit: Plus "Cowboys" vs "Marshals" now takes on another meaning

Sentinels seems fine. It's just going to be a weird transition not calling them the Skins. Kinda like how it took a while to get used to them being the LA Chargers etc.

Doltos posted:Why does everyone in TFF think football names should be something zazzy. Every football name is boring. It's the point. It doesn't have to be "zazzy" just have some sort of significance. Like Ravens. Theyre for edgar allan poe and also theyre a bird thats around and even nests at the stadium. Or Steelers has an obvious meaning. None of those are zazzy they just make sense and have something behind them. So for Washington i see redtails as the obvious choice as it has significance with the tuskeegee airmen plus it can also be for red-tailed hawk. And it even sounds like the old name except with the bonus of not being a racial slur. So you cant go wrong with it. Thats the kind of name you should aim for just something with some level of significance.

Diva Cupcake posted:So they were originally named the New York Titans, which was intentionally generic and chosen as a play on the New York Giants. New ownership changed the name to the Jets in reference to the planes flying over Shea Stadium where they played. Titans was explicitly chosen by the AFL franchise because the Titans were said in mythology to be bigger and stronger than Giants. That was straight AFL vs NFL stuff.

How does either a red-tailed hawk, which is common throughout the continent, or the members of a WWII fighter group trained in Alabama (the common name for whom comes from where they were trained in Alabama) have any specific relevance for a Washington team?
