Washington Red Tails would have been the best IMO.

 

[Derwood]

Redtails wasn't even in their top 8.

 

Outside of the Kraken, I can't think of a recent new team/name change that has been anything other than completely lame

Also, they seem to have fixed their tweet, as the original doesn't link anywhere

Pelicans wasn't awful, even though they obviously should have just totally completed the NBA name shuffle and given them Jazz back.

 

But yea, Admirals (or Commanders still being rumored), is very lame and feels like "Hollywood movie that couldn't get NFL rights" generic. Guardians-esque

 

Edit- Also, due to the shuffle, Pelicans upgraded the NBA from Bobcats with an accompanying terrible logo. So definite upgrade from that perspective. Commanders/Admirals isn't even better than Football Team it's replacing.

A navy full of admirals would horsefeathering suck.

[OleMissCub]

Honestly, I can’t figure out how The Powers That Be for that franchise didn’t just go “Ok, that’s it, shut it down, Redtails it is”.

 

That accomplishes so many goals. It’s a complete reversal of the racism of the past mascot and is badass to boot. Nazi killing black pilots??? That’s sick.

 

Would have also been a great opportunity to highlight a cool part of AA history. They could have had a museum there at the stadium and had flyovers before every game of a squadron of P-51’s.

 

Seriously, what a missed opportunity.

Probably because people are not intellectually curious and would assume(or do assume, since they almost certainty tested it in groups) that another red+noun nickname is also bad and therefore complain about it, not buy merch, etc

It goes to the giving kitchen now.

My assumption was that Daniel Snyder is an entitled, rich white horsefeathers that doesn't care about black history. But I could be wrong.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

things can be 2 things

There is a squadron of Red Tail F-22 at Maxwell AFB in Montgomery. They look pretty cool.

[OleMissCub]

A squadron of these things doing a flyover before every game would be epic. Mustangs have a real distinct sound too.

 

[NOLA]

Pelicans wasn't awful, even though they obviously should have just totally completed the NBA name shuffle and given them Jazz back.

They tried, but Utah wasn't having it, jazz being such an important part of their history and all.

 

Redtails would have been great. And Guardians has finally grown on me.

And a large part of the fanbase probably agrees

The absolute pinnacle of aircraft design. Ever. Like a Corvette with wings.

lmao...not sure what AB was trying to accomplish here by posting that text conversation

 

[UMFan83]

probably not true but

 

 

Have to admit, the right does a great job of getting people to blow up their lives for stupid causes. Dude has spent his entire life playing football and trying to win championships and he's going to threaten to blow up a chance to win a 2nd title over.... unvaccinated people being tested for a contagious virus?

That would be hilarious. Can you imagine if he actually did that, and then somehow Jordan Love leads the Packers to a SB win? I'm so done with his horsefeathers. I think he's the most talented QB who ever played the game, but I'm ready to move on and watch some 7-10 seasons for a decade or so.

Make it 3 decades and I'm there.

[Derwood]

It's the Packers. We all know that Jordan Love would just step in and have 3 MVP seasons and keep the Packers winning every year

[Soul]

Anyway the NFL would back down, not Rodgers. They’d probably come up with some BS special “protocol” just for him.

[CoolHandLuke]

Y'all are insane if you think there is any truth to that rumor.

 

The dude has absolutely awful covid takes, and generally seems to suck in a lot of ways, but is first and foremost a huge narcissist. He's not throwing away his legacy because he doesn't want to have to wear a mask or get tested.

 

However, I bet the NFL secretly won't test any star players in the playoffs, or at least leading up to the super bowl.

[PackLandVA]

Looks like Boomer was pranked. Panties in a bundle over nothing.

[Old Style]

Fangio has been fired.
