Update (1:30 PM ET): WashingtonAdmirals.com now redirects to Giving Kitchen, an organization that provides emergency financial assistance and other support resources to food workers.
The Washington Football Team announced on Tuesday that it will unveil its new official team name and logo on February 2, 2022. The announcement is accompanied by a video, photo teasers of the helmets and jerseys and a update on why wolves or red wolves – both popular options among some fanbase members – would not be possible.
The WFT has been very careful not to reveal too much, trying to keep excitement high for next month’s rebranding of a team that has struggled with performance on and off the pitch.
But… is it possible that the franchise missed a small detail? Fans on Twitter have noticed a certain URL redirecting to the WFT website:
I KNEW THEY WERE GOING TO SPOIL THIS!
Guess what leads directly to the team’s website… https://t.co/qXMhZZvA8D
Congratulations you played yourself 👏 https://t.co/EPB6k8CSDQ

If you go to WashingtonAdmirals.com, then it will redirect you… TO THE WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM WEBSITE! Now, that could be misdirection or a red herring (or just a coincidence), but could we get the Admirals to join the NFL next season?
Others are speculating (read: reviewing rebranding applications) that the Groundhogs could be a potential new name.
Washington groundhogs?
Play on the nickname “Hogs”.
The announcement is Groundhog Day.This was recently filed with the US Patent and Trademark Office (it should be noted that I have no idea who the applicant is): pic.twitter.com/RAYHP414O9

We’ll have to wait and see, but that won’t stop speculation from flying.
