The Washington Football Team’s new name might’ve gotten spoiled weeks before the team’s scheduled announcement on Feb. 2.
CBS Sports reported that a website, “WashingtonAdmirals.com,” redirected to the WFT’s official website, WashingtonFootball.com.
Although the domain no longer leads to the official site of the NFL squad, the name “Admirals” is reportedly one of nine different names being considered for the club’s new mascot — including “Armada,” “Presidents” and “Red Hogs.”
Boomer Esiason of the “Boomer and Gio” radio show said Monday the team’s new name is “The Admirals.”
The WFT has not yet addressed the reports about its new name.
CBS Sports noted there is a Major League Quidditch team that currently holds the name Washington Admirals. The franchise is reportedly based in the Washington, DC, area.
