Hoping for Red Wolves. Feeling more optimistic about that possibility.

The teams website. They have been creating a video every few months about the name change. If I was betting I would say it is going to be Commanders. This team will get so ragged on if that is the name.

'A name that upholds the tradition of this franchise...'

Commies. Good one. Better be something else. Or they've lost more fans. It's well known fans HATE that name.

Saw the DC stars on the uniform in the video... Likely won't be Hogs either i guess

Jason Wright...

"We can't wait to hit the ground running with our team name and identity on a clear path -- one without distracting obstacles, legal or otherwise. And while we've always understood it would be a nearly impossible task to select a name that all of our fans would identify with as their first pick, we are very excited about our final selection, which aligns with our values, carries forth our rich history, represents the region and, most importantly, is inspired and informed by you, our fans."

Fans wanted Warriors. They didn't want to do the Native American thing. Fans, mostly the young demo settled on Red Wolves/Wolves. Couldn't make that happen. I think that's how we landed on Commanders. That's my guess.

Idk what to think anymore. Could easily make the argument for defenders with the dc stars or redhogs with the 'embracing the tradition of the franchise' comments

Best of what's left for me. Limp arm raise for the names that are not redwolves, hard no to Commies.

To summarize Jason’s letter. The team knows what name the fan base wanted, but was unable to reach a business deal with other Wolf named teams (BTW the Timberwolves were able to get their name trademarked relatively recently in 1989, but we couldn't do the same in 2022). Once again the team shows it’s OK with mediocrity and unwilling to do what it takes to be winners. Perfect commentary on what's been wrong with the "Snyder years". Total and continued lack of competence in every aspect of the game.
