I have been in many, many meetings like that. How do you think the Chargers got to their current look? It is universally loved. Cleveland going back to their roots too. It’s the equivalent of a classic band playing their new album…no one wants it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been in many, many meetings like that. Except that's almost assuredly not how this name came about. This name was a choice by two people: Dan Snyder and amazingly, Head Coach Ron Rivera. All the talk of fan input and consideration, focus groups, committees, team alumni feedback, etc. All window dressing. They might have happened, but they had no impact on this name decision. I agree in a normal situation, your theory would probably be right on. Not here in DC, not with Dan Snyder. Locals know. This was Dan and Ron and their mutual military hard-ons. Where the marketing team had it's impact was the uniforms. Not the name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point, but manufactured. There are teams named Red Wolves. In other words by saying we can’t touch the word red again in Washington for eternity, you’re opening up the “where does it end with whimsical implicity”… I know there’s the sway current cultural climate to entertain - but every time you concede it, you enable it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRy56 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 I don’t know if I love the new name, I happened to really like WFT. But the logos are very nice and Washington still has some of the best colors in the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndianaJet Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 The saddest part is that "Commanders" doesn't fit into the "Hail to" song. It was the only thing I ever liked about Washington games....the somewhat college feel to them. Well, at least that was what it was like 30 years ago when they were good.

TuscanyTile2 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 When Washington plays KC it's going to be "Commanders vs Chiefs" (commander-in-chief). Though KC should really be forced to re-brand too and make the NFL an even bigger joke. How about the Kansas City Commandos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda like the away jersey, reminds me of the old Falcons uniforms, and I've never been a fan of the Marron and off-Yellow, lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
