1. Reminds me of Repo Man

Where the food came in cans just called food and the drinks came in cans called drink. How prosaic of them.

[Initech]

25. Or the IRS Burger from the Simpsons.

[LakeArenal]

2. The Washingtons sounds okay. Nick name "The Wash"

[LiberalFighter]

22. Don't you mean Whitewash?

[LakeArenal]

24. No. I don't mean that.

[Alacritous Crier]

3. Here's what you'll be able to buy at the concession stand...

[HotTeaBag]

11. Ha. Good one.

[gratuitous]

4. Gonna have to re-tool the fight song

Hail to the Washington Football Team!
Hail Victory!
Representative Non-specific First Peoples on the March!
Fight for old D.C.!
Run or pass and score—We want a lot more!
Beat 'em, Swamp 'em,
Touchdown! -- Let the points soar!
Fight on, fight on 'Til you have won
Sons of Wash-ing-ton. Rah!, Rah!, Rah!
Hail to the Washington Football Team!
Hail Victory!
Representative Non-specific First Peoples on the March!
Fight for old D.C.!

Just rolls off the tongue. I got a little stuck, so I substituted "March" for "Warpath."

[Hortensis]

27. Maybe all the names they've tried stick at that point also.

I can see it's tricky, but good job coming up with something so catchy.

[Goodheart]

5. I like "Warmongers"

[PJMcK]

6. It's still better than the old name (n/t)

[Livluvgrow]

7. Their name should be

The Washington Fifty Oners

[Devil Child]

8. I enjoy watching Football Team while consuming Beverage Product.

[Yavin4]

15. Me too. I also enjoy eating flat bread with tomato sauce, cheese, and sausage meat while watching

with my human friends.

[Devil Child]

18. I find this is an acceptable combination, good leisure outlet choice Yavin4.

[Baclava]

9. Washington Generals was my choice, they should have listened

[Goodheart]

13. That's whom the Globetrotters have been beating up on for many years now.

[Baclava]

14. Same for the NFL teams, lol, it fits

[DonaldsRump]

10. That abbreviates to WFT....WTF is more appropriate

for Washington DC until January 20, 2021 at 12 noon ET.

[Wednesdays]

17. We hope.

GOTV!

[Baclava]

23. WTF? the headlines are writing themselves, lol

[HotTeaBag]

12. This feels like Snyder - who vowed to never, ever change the name is

just trolling everyone with this 'name change'.

[MineralMan]

16. How about the Washington Revolutionaries?

Or, maybe, the Washington No Trumps.

[Sneederbunk]

19. Nickname will be The Ballers.

[dawg day]

20. When the Colts moved out of Baltimore--

Even after their new team the Ravens won a super bowl, those Baltimoreans held a grudge. When the "Indianapolis Colts" came to town, the scoreboard showed as the visiting team, "Indianapolis Professional Football Club."

Football fans do hold grudges.

[Takebacktherepublic]

21. Yep. They can paint the facade

...but they will always be “The ‘Skins”

[smirkymonkey]

26. Sounds harmless enough.
