It ABSOLUTELY has to be the Washington Sentinels.  There is no other choice.

Except that the only known red wolves left are in Eastern NC and there are more of them alive in captive protection than living in the wild. They are an endangered species and will likely be extinct within our lifetime.

• They are the most endangered wolf in the world. As of December 2021, there are less than 20 left in the wild.
• They mate for life and have one litter of pups a year. Often one litter will help their parents care for the next, younger group of pups.
• Red wolves are great parents and will even care for another wolf’s babies, given the chance.
• Also, they are very shy and don’t want to be around you or your house. It is very rare you will ever encounter one.
• Red wolves weigh between 45 and 80 pounds. They are smaller than a gray wolf but larger than a coyote.
• All wolves, including red wolves, help keep coyotes out of the area where they live. They are the apex predator and will run out or kill coyotes entering their territories.

Yes I agree and it's the most popular choice but legally they cannot because of copyrights from other teams. 

If the WFT wanted to be the Red Wolves, they’d pony up the money to acquire the rights to the name. The Cleveland Guardians (MLB) just did this with a Cleveland roller derby team which has been called the Guardians for years.

They should have just kept WFT.

Should be the “Washington My Name is Snyder and I got away with crap because I know people”.

Washington Red Hogs would have been kind of cool as a sort of tribute to the Hogs of the late 80s/early 90s.  One of the few callbacks to the history of that franchise that isn't disgusting or embarrassing.
