ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Football Team will announce its new name ahead of the Super Bowl, nearly 19 months after dropping its old one. But team president Jason Wright said it won't be one that became an early favorite on social media.

The team announced Tuesday that it will reveal its new name on Feb. 2, 11 days before the Super Bowl. During a podcast in September with ESPN's Adam Schefter, WFT co-CEO Tanya Snyder confirmed that the final eight candidates were Armada, Presidents, Brigade, Redhawks, Commanders, RedWolves, Defenders and Football Team.


But it sounds like (Red)Wolves might conflict with Timberwolves somehow.

And WFT is actually under consideration?

Presidents?

Redhawks seems like the best bet, given that they'll be maintaining their color scheme.

Hopefully they aren't the first NFL franchise without an 's' on the end of their name.

They all sound kind of stupid with the exception of Redhawks. They should have an Indian with a red mohawk as a mascot, all in good taste of course.

They should change their name to Guardians. Oops, too late.

After this name fails, they go back to Redskins.

Commanders. Take a look at the new franchise "crest." It lists their championships; in the SB era, they went with 1983, 1988, and 1992 -- the years the actual Super Bowls were played, as opposed to the seasons themselves. Usually you go with the latter (so, it should've been 1982, 1987, and 1991), but what do you expect from Dan Snyder?
