The names were the Armada, Presidents, Brigade, Commanders, Redhawks, Defenders, RedWolves, and the Football Team.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, Washington Team President Jason Wright announced that RedWolves \u2014 a fan favorite \u2014 would no longer be considered as the team\u2019s new name due to trademark issues.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEarly on we understood Wolves \u2014 or some variation of it \u2014 was one of our fan favorites,\u201d Wright <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonfootball.com\/news\/presidents-brief-why-wolves-wont-work\">said<\/a> in a statement on the team\u2019s website. \u201cAs I\u2019ve said all along, we take feedback from our fans seriously, and because of your interest in this name, we put Wolves on a list of options to explore fully. Once we began looking into Wolves, however, we became aware of a notable challenge: trademarks held by other teams would limit our ability to make the name our own. And without Wolves, variations like RedWolves wouldn\u2019t have been viable either for these and other reasons.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a separate video, former Redskins great and current senior advisor Doug Williams reacted to the new uniforms, without giving away the entire look.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a clean uniform,\u201d Williams said. \u201cI believe in clean uniforms. You just got the number and the uniform stripes around the shoulders, and that\u2019s it. That\u2019s going to be a good-looking uniform.\u201d<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">First look at the new threads \ud83d\udc40<\/p>\n<p>\ud83e\udd1d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Vistaprint?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Vistaprint<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/udpnXtdoSv\">pic.twitter.com\/udpnXtdoSv<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Washington Football Team (@WashingtonNFL) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WashingtonNFL\/status\/1478395546691903494?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 4, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In July, the Cleveland MLB franchise changed their name from the Cleveland Indians to the Cleveland Guardians.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are excited to usher in the next era of the deep history of baseball in Cleveland,\u201d owner Paul Dolan <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/mlb\/story\/_\/id\/31868331\/cleveland-changing-name-indians-guardians\">said<\/a> in a statement. \u201cCleveland has and always will be the most important part of our identity. Therefore, we wanted a name that strongly represents the pride, resiliency and loyalty of Clevelanders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2018Guardians\u2019 reflects those attributes that define us while drawing on the iconic Guardians of Traffic just outside the ballpark on the Hope Memorial Bridge. It brings to life the pride Clevelanders take in our city and the way we fight together for all who choose to be part of the Cleveland baseball family. While \u2018Indians\u2019 will always be a part of our history, our new name will help unify our fans and city as we are all Cleveland Guardians.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Citing concerns over offending members of Native American and indigenous peoples, the team announced in December 2020 that they\u2019d be choosing a new name.<\/p>\n<p>Joe Morgan is the Sports Reporter for The Daily Wire.
