Redwolves is lame. Yeah, another animal. Is this high school?

If those are the 3 choices only Warriors is acceptable...you can even have an Ultimate Warrior guy on the sidelines in full get-up.

Fans could still wear Native garb.

Yuck. Gray is such an ugly dull color. The spear logo and jerseys they wore in 2002 as a tribute to the 1960's team needs to be brought back full time. Those are pretty.

I don't understand the hate? I think the Washington Redtails is badass. Its a great nod to the legendary Tuskegee Airmen. I saw these concept unis too...

Washington Snakes would be more appropriate.

Tuskegee Airmen
Now do you see why it’s retarded?

Imagine the St. Louis Gators as an ode to the bull gators of the Florida swamp

Imagine the Dallas Minute Men in homage to the Massachusetts regiment

The Illinois Buckeyes to honor the nut from the state of Ohio

Naming your team after a specific group that comes from somewhere else entirely would be one of the dumbest mascots I could think of, so I almost fully expect it to happen

Washington Redtails would be even dumber than the Utah Jazz or Los Angeles Lakers, because Washington would be a choice and not the result of a franchise move

I’m sure a franchise wants it’s entire brand rooted in segregation. There’s no way that could ever go wrong.

Except the Tuskegee Airmen represented the United States of America in World War II. I think this is a major major stretch

Please explain how the name "Redtails"...is racist? Their aircraft literally had the tails of their aircraft painted red. How on god's green Earth is calling the team the Redtails racist?

That's your opinion...i think its quite badass and support the change 100%. The name Red Wolves might be the most XFL name out there...GTFO

Those Red Butt Baboons could be a good mascot if they name their team "Red Tails".

Red Butt Baboons are mean and vicious and will tear you up.

Washington Red Butts! I like it !

You don’t see how basing your entire mascot name on segregation could be problematic?
