Washington Football Team is too generic?

Is Washington generic? Yes

Is Football generic? Of course

Is Team generic? Well, yeah

But collectively? I think it’s a pretty unique and specific term

You mentioned “sky” as an example.

The WNBA has the Chicago Sky and that is trademarked


You honestly don’t see the difference? Really?

Washington football team is literally just a description. That applies to thousands of teams. They can’t exclusively own that.

And I am a proponent of the WFT moniker if they can’t be the Redskins.

Well I actually think they should go with the Engines and troll the frick out of everyone

Yeah. They foolishly paid lawyers a boat load to file that ridiculous patent.

For instance my brother is a patent attorney in DC and he bills 1k/hr through his firm and he budgets roughly 40 hours to do a patent application.

I actually like WFT as a name.

I don't see why grown men are fussing about a team not having a cartoon animal as an team icon.

Should trigger them all and go with The Continentals or Vets.

I think Snyder was hoping to sell a bunch of WFT gear first, and then come up with a new name so fans would have to buy that merchandise as well.


This is 100% snyder’s play.

Have you ever seen one piece of merchandise with The Alabama Football Team? Not in a description, but a hat, a T-shirt, anything?
