Who the hell is the Washington Football Team?

When one thinks about some of the great rivalries in football, the name Redskins comes to mind.  However, that has all come to an end as Dan Snyder has finally agreed to a name change.

Now before I get into the new name, I want to make it clear that Snyder didn't change the name by choice. Several sponsors pulled away from the team until it changed the name that has been synonymous with football.

It was a little after noon that news broke from Adam Schefter's Twitter account. Scheffer tweeted, "Effective immediately, Washington will call itself the “Washington Football Team”, pending adoption of a new name, sources tell ESPN. This is not a final renaming and rebranding for team; this is the name it wants to use until pending adoption of a new name in the future."

The organization could not come up with anything. Hundreds of suggestions have been submitted from all walks of life. It's sad that a real name could not be chosen.

Tzvi Machlin of The Spun wrote, "The Washington Football Team will retain the burgundy and gold color scheme it has used for decades. However, the old logo will be replaced by individual player numbers on the helmets."

So basically the team is going to look like the Crimson Tide of Alabama, how original. The color scheme is nice but the new name should be of something that reflects those colors. Last thing we would want to see is a team called the clovers or blue angels in burgundy. 

With the 2020 season still up in the air, maybe Snyder will catch a break and there will be no NFL this year. For now, the team from Washington is a horse with no name.
