Several team names have been in contention for the new name of the Washington football team, among them, the Admirals, Armada, Brigade, Commanders, Defenders, Presidents, Redhawks, Red Hogs and Sentinels.
The new name will be announced on February 2nd but it looks like the name has been leaked and it will be the Admirals. Former NFL player Boomer Esiason predicted it today on his radio show.
From Mediaite.com:
>>>“The Admirals,” Esiason told Jerry Recco and Gregg Giannotti on their WFAN morning radio show Boomer and Gio. I’m reporting it’s the Admirals.”<<<
When asked later if he regretted announcing the name Boomer added:
>>>“Why? I can’t stand that organization anyway!” “That organization sucks”

Since the Admiral’s name has been linked will Washington’s team owner change it to something else? Rankings of the names and the pro and cons of each proposed name here. Their favorite is the Red Hogs because it shows a connection to the past. I’m not a fan. I’m not enthusiastic about any of the names on the list. If I had to choose, the Sentinels would be my choice with an image of a soldier in the Revolutionary War standing guard. That’s the best I’ve got among the choices we have.
