New Name and Logo Coming Feb 2

[countryroads316]

Redtailed Hawks are native to the MD/VA area and I would not mind that name, I do not think it is going to be the choice though. Maybe the team should be named Turkey Buzzards (also native to the area) since they have played like turkey's for 30 years.

My guess is Dan, Jason etc. have no clue about these hawks.

Just name them Washington Red Hogs atleast that has some history to the team and the fan base would embrace

I actually saw some cool logos with hawks on them, I wouldn't mind that either

I would hope it would but the list of botched things with this FO is expansive

It has been made fairly clear the military tie is in the name in some regard.

I have never had any faith that Dan would get this right. I can't get a read on Jason Wright. I am not sure if he is stuck doing what Dan wants or just doesn't have a clue.

Washington Red Hogs has history and its military just go with it


What is a hog in the Marines?


When a Marine first checks in to Scout Sniper School he is referred to as a PIG, or professionally instructed gunman. If successful, he will graduate in nine-weeks and will earn the title HOG, or hunter of gunmen. The first few weeks of the course are spent on long-range, known-distance shooting.Jul 11, 2011

not a fan of military stuff , why ? Because the military exterminated the NA and enslaved him so in reality it’s covert racism and hence the redskins name should still be used. How you like that conspiracy BS

That is a stretch to tie Hogs to Marines.

its not a stretch that's what a Hog is when a Marine successfully graduates in nine-weeks will earn the title HOG, or hunter of gunmen

I was in the Navy and around Marines often and NEVER heard that term for Marines, Snipers, SEALs. We'll have to agree to disagree. Hell some of work I do is with the Marine Corps History Museum in Quantico and I have never heard the the term HOGs used in any part of the museum.

This is how a Marine sniper earns a real 'HOG's tooth'

When a newly-minted Marine Corps Scout Sniper graduates from the sniper school where they learn their trade, they will be presented with a 7.62 round, the ammunition commonly used by the Marines' elite scout sniper corps. But earning the actual HOG…

Excellent, still never heard the term used in all of my military experience. So I am going to say it is a stretch. I have been in or around the military for 30 years.

The same as I say for a military team name. Of course I know the Pentagon is here, but when I think military I do not think of Washington DC.

 

[Sportster 72]

The reason I do not recognize it is it is a fairly new term uses (as you said for Scout Snipers) in the 26th MEU.

I don't think this fits the history of the Redskins HOGs but here is another military hog .... the A-10 Warthog

 

[Sportster 72]

It was bullshit from the start. Typical Snyder lies. Apparently Wright is getting paid enough to play Snyder's game.

 

[Beengay fudgepackers]

Rednecks!
get ‘er done!

I wouldn't have minded Red Hawks as I could have tied to the area, not the team history. I never thought they would choose it due to the Seahawk name being similar .... and there are 999455 other bird names in the NFL.

I would be good with Hogs but really that is just from the Gibbs era. It has nothing else to do with the team history.

 

[Caliskinsfan]

Well Lookee here... Commanders on Jason Wright's knee... Maybethat means it won't be that name then.

The misdirection continues...

Still hoping they pulled a fast one and this is what we get on the 2nd.
