Earlier this week Washington announced that they would be revealing the new team name on 2-2-22. How exciting. Said almost nobody at this point, as it has dragged on far too long already.<\/p>\n

The team did announce via Team President Jason Wright that the name would not<\/strong> be Red Wolves due to copyright issues. Red Wolves was considered to be the odds on favorite, and seemingly the fan-favorite as well.<\/p>\n

So if not Red Wolves, what are the other names in play?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There are 8-10 other names usually mentioned, though it is unknown how serious some of them are. Along with the existing name of Washington Football Team, other names being considered include:<\/p>\n

Admirals | Armada | Commanders | Defenders | Presidents | Red Hogs | Red Tails | Sentinels<\/strong><\/p>\n

Speculation was further increased this week, when it was reported that the web url\u00a0WashingtonAdmirals.com was forwarding<\/a> to the team’s current official website.<\/p>\n

There was also a lot of speculation after Washington teased a helmet video, in which fans were pointing out reflections in the glass potentially giving away certain design elements.<\/p>\n

It is<\/em> all just speculation at this point. In a world where you can currently bet on anything though, of course there are odds available on what the new team name will be.<\/p>\n

The odds seem to be a little bit all over the place depending on which Sports Book you check. That itself is unusual. While there is always some “swing” between outlets, there is usually a lot of uniformity.<\/p>\n

Here is a chart of the odds from both Covers<\/a> and Sportsline<\/a> on Thursday evening:<\/p>\n

\"Team<\/a><\/p>\n

Swerve<\/h2>\n

In professional wrestling, a swerve is when\u00a0there is a sudden and \/ or surprising change in the direction of a storyline.<\/p>\n

If Washington named the team the Red Wolves on 2-2-22, that would be a near-perfectly executed swerve.<\/p>\n

First, you tell everybody it’s not Red Wolves. Then you “accidentally” make a few mistakes that lead to errant speculation.<\/p>\n

Then, Boom!!<\/p>\n

Just something to ponder.<\/p>\n

It’s probably too clever, but then again, they’ve had almost two years to plan a brand rollout.<\/p>\n

It would be nice to see them do something well for a change.<\/p>\n
