Washington Commanders (Renamed 2/2/22)

[Cardsfaninlouky]

They should've used the traditional look, I think the unis are hideous.

 

[Cardinal Bob]

I think the TEAM is hideous.

 

[Dback Jon]

Snyder managed to screw something up again

 

[Vacard]

Trash name for a trash franchise

 

[Jetstream Green]

The three variants of their jerseys have like no freaking unity at all... they could belong to three different teams

 

[WaywardFan]

Idiotic.

Will do.

Will do.

Done

 

[Crimson Warrior]

horrible. You get one shot at a new name and that's what you come up with?

"Wizards" is pretty cool. "Titans" is awesome. "Ravens" is good too.

"Commanders"? lol..

 

[kerouac9]

Leggo commies!

 

[TRW]

It’s a name. Don’t really care. The name before the WFT was not acceptable so Commanders is better to me. Win and the name is irrelevant.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

Not a fan of this name

 

[Mainstreet]

I think Washington could have used a shorter name. Also I don't like the connotation.

 

[GoldGloveschmidt]

Name sucks, colors suck, uniforms suck, team sucks, whole organization sucks.

They'll always be the Potatoes to me.

 

[mjb21aztd]

The washington 1700 comanders jkin lol...

 

[SissyBoyFloyd]

Don't they ever consult with the fan base to see how popular such an important part of their franchise would be? Surely fans could have done better than that.

They could have just got a dictionary and turned to the W's and found a name that went with Washington and sounded better than Commanders.

Warhead, Wave, Wharf, Wings, Wankers, Walkers, Wallapalooza, Watchers, Woozies, Whozits, Whippersnappers, Whatsits, Willows, Whodat, Wooosh, Wammers, Why, What, When, Who, Whynot

 

[JeffGollin]

The Meh.

 

[carrrnuttt]

Jeebus.

That sounds like a fake name a movie would use for its fake teams so they don't have to pay royalty to the real teams.

FFS, an actual movie that did this (The Replacements) had a better name for Washington: the Sentinels.

 

[TheCardFan]

It has to be really tough when your favorite team relocates to a different city but also challenging if they change names.

I liked Washington Warriors. Continue the native motif in a respectable way. Then again, using an ethnic group as a mascot isn't really that respectable in the first place.

Or Red Wolves would have been cool as well with the reintroduction of the red wolf all over America from the last remaining group in eastern North Carolina, so it would have been the native species in Virginia as well.

Sort of like "The Italian Job" lol

Exactly, the problem was the derogatory name and not the Native American theme. The logo for the Redskins was actually done by a artist who was a Blackfoot. They could have kept that logo, and they could have kept that motif to then honor Native Americans by simply changing the name to an acceptable use as Warriors, and they could have done it easily with no fanfare and everyone would have been happy a long freaking time ago... but hey, it's Washington DC where everything takes forever and is often then a botch job lol
