The team has offered few clues about potential replacement names and logos, nor when such branding could be unveiled.

Much of the most recent discussion among fans and prognosticators has revolved around nicknames that begin with "Red," such as "Red Wolves" or "Red Tails." This would allow the team to continue to use its "HTTR" slogan for marketing purposes; the acronym has previously been short for "Hail To The Redskins." The "Red Tails" name would also be something of an homage to the Tuskegee Airmen, which would be in line with Rivera's stated desire to honor members of the military with the new name.

He had planned to call that team the Washington Warriors.

Quarterback Dwayne Haskins, meanwhile, expressed a preference for "Red Tails" early in the process?

As of Tuesday, it was "Red Tails." Online sports book Bovada LV listed "Red Tails" or "Red Clouds" at 2/1 odds, followed by "Warriors," then "Hogs," or any variety thereof.

Interestingly, "Red Wolves" is not listed by Bovada LV, while garnering 6/1 odds at BetOnline.ag. .

But there's concern that the name would maintain the link between the team and Native American imagery — especially if, for example, the new logo was the arrow with feathers that Washington previously used as branding in the 1960s.

ESPN reported last week that Washington is planning to have no Native American imagery in connection with its new name.

The team has not disclosed any sort of timeline or target date for the official switch, beyond Rivera's aforementioned preference that it be sorted out before the start of training camp.

The Washington Post reported this week that the team's preferred name is caught up in a trademark fight, which has delayed its announcement
