The Washington Football Team is now … the Washington Commanders

[Mojouw]

What a ridiculous clearly worked out by a committee name. Wonder how much the consultant group that workshopped that cost?

[Born2Steel]

Good for them...???

[86WARD]

Their uniforms look like they could be nice. Not crazy about the name.

[vasteeler]

The Commanders?! That's awful. It sounds like an arena league name.

No doubt. Did they clear this with the soon-to-be resuscitated USFL?

[Crow-Magnon]

Teams with names longer than two syllables are often (maybe mostly) called by a shortened, truncated name. Think Pats (Patriots), Niners (49’ers). Will they be “Comms”?

Bad franchise. Bad owner. Bad name.

The 'Ders'.

I call them the Foreskins or Deadskins (and will continue to do so) as most of my WTF fans who are friends do.

[Squeegee Thompson]

They misspelled 'Commoders'. Because that franchise has been a steaming pile of shit for the last 30 years.

[86WARD]

Just Washington Command would’ve been better.

[Edman]

Washington Commanders can easily be shortened to "Commies". Oops.

Memes become reality.

[Fire Goodell]

the new uniform looks pretty sweet

[steelreserve]

Might as well have changed it to the Washington Generals, it's close enough, and fitting for them. I don't even think the Globetrotters use that name anymore. What a wasted opportunity.

i personally liked generals or armada, generals were probably the most fitting due to george washington and all

Are you not familiar with the "other" Washington Generals? That's what would make it the most fitting of all.

yeah the globetrotters' punching bags lol. i was giving them the benefit of the doubt though

[Steeler-in-west]

will always be the Redskins

this! They should’ve never changed the name or logo. Are the chiefs next?

[Steeler-in-west]

looks like the symbol for another beaurocratic agency, not a football team

if they wanted to get away from redskins, Washington rebels would have been better IMO

Washington Commodes

the braves , chiefs , they already scalped the Redskins and Indians ...

why the Indians tho even if you are hyper critical ... how is that derogatory against Indians .... is as much a celebration of them as anything else .... what do I know as a 1/8th Cherokee

I no longer have a baseball team to root for. I have no idea who the Guardians are.

Commanders is a terrible fail for as much time as they had to come up with a new name.

ummm..no they will be the commies..pretty fitting for todays DC environment. players shall no longer refer to their team mates as such...they are now commrades.

their new logo ?

[DesertSteel]

The Commies!!

1/8 qualifies for all Cherokee tribes if you wanted to apply to one. In NC, the Eastern Cherokee require 1/16 and you are a generation closer than that. (Total sidebar post)

It's bad when the former players don't like the name...even a little bit...

I'd be interested to hear Riggins' take on the new name...
