The "Washington Red Wolves" has a nice ring to it for some fans of Washington's NFL team.
Arkansas State University might disagree.
Washington, which recently announced it is retiring its longtime mascot the "Redskins", is soon to choose a new nickname. The Red Wolves -- which has been trademarked by Arkansas State since 2008 -- has become a favorite among fans and players who have expressed support for the name on social media.
But before Washington makes a franchise-altering decision that could add more wolves to the pack, most believe the franchise will reach out to ASU if it is serious about choosing the name.
