The Washington Football Team will officially announce its new name on Feb. 2 after releasing a preview video on Tuesday.
"We can finally say that we are in the homestretch of our rebrand journey. We know this has been a long process -- one with a lot of pieces and details -- and we appreciate you sticking with us," Wright wrote.
Additionally, Wright ruled out two names that have been popular choices among fans, Wolves and RedWolves, due to the inability to make the name Washington's own due to trademark issues from other teams. "Early on we understood Wolves -- or some variation of it -- was one of our fan favorites," Wright wrote in his brief."Once we began looking into Wolves, however, we became aware of a notable challenge: trademarks held by other teams would limit our ability to make the name our own. And without Wolves, variations like RedWolves wouldn't have been viable either for these and other reasons.
