Washington considering Warriors, Rubies among names

The Washington Football Team recently sent season-ticket holders an email asking for their input as the club considers a name change.

Each fan was provided a survey and shown a selection of names from a broader pool and told to select their preferred choices.

“This is not a vote for the name, but instead an opportunity to capture insights and perspective that will be so important to this next phase of our rebrand journey,” team president Jason Wright said in a letter to season-ticket holders.

Among the choices:

Aces

Armada

First City Football Club (FCFC)

Archers

Beacons

Belters

Demon Cats

Redtails

Redwolves

Rubies

Razorbacks

Defenders

Warriors

Wild Hogs

Football Team

Washington will keep the Football Team name for the 2021 season.

The franchise retired Redskins - a name it held for 82 years - prior to the 2020 campaign after corporate sponsors threatened to cut ties if the name wasn’t changed.
