Washington's new team name: Washington Commanders!

[sharkymcwrath]

What a fucking terrible name choice. But fitting when you consider the franchise.

I always thought the Redskins had a cool helmet logo. When I was younger, I always thought the Redskin name & helmet logo was a reference to the Native Americans and I still honestly believe that. I don't think the name is racist. I mean, their land was stolen. This land is your land, this land is my land... Nah, this land is only my land. Anyways, back to the Commander name; I don't like it and I don't like the W on the helmet. I'd rather the helmet have no logo than a W on it. I remember seeing someone post a Redtails name & helmet logo and a Red Wolves name & helmet logo and I loved those as possible replacements. The Redtails logo looked very similar to the Redskin logo and the Red Wolves logo had a W with the top of the Capitol in the form of a wolf howling.... Now we stuck with a Commander with a dubya on the side of the helmet... Not a fan.

Awful name and uniforms. They went from possibly the best name and uniforms in the league to the worst.


I don't understand why they didn't go with something like the Warthogs or Redwolves.

Yeah... I loved Redwolves and Redtails.

Commanders is a forced politically correct name and as such will always be the worst team name in the NFL. The Washington Fucktards would have been far better. At least it would be honest.

Quite frankly, I might have gone for something like the Washington Dragons. You could have come up with a bitch assed helmet with that name.

Commanders really was a complete failure by Snyder and his team. The list of better names could go on forever.

--The whole line of "Red-something": Redhawk, Red wolves, redhogs, red knights, redclaws, redtails,
--If it had to be military-related: arsenal, warthogs, commandos, choppers, skippers, bullets, gunners, talons
--A host of animal names were better: crocs, dragons, griffins, foxes, cobra, yeti, etc.
--Even those wildcard verb/noun names: spin, machine, crush, breakers, laser

Snyder and the gang even botched the new team crest. The years across the bottom include 1983, 1988, and 1992. Well those are supposed to be the years the Skins won the SB, but some idiot listed the dates on which the Skins SB wins happened, rather than the year of the NFL season. For example--though they won the SB in January of 1988, if you ask the Commie fans about how they did in 1988, they'll groan b/c they went 7-9 and missed the playoffs season.

So they seriously went with Commanders LOL
I was kind of expecting in the 11th hour it get told they leaked the dumbass name to sidetrack everyone for the big reveal of the real name.
But nope. the organization is as dumb as I thought they were.

Madden won't even allow you to make a team look that bad.

 

[UnrealTerm04]

Washington Fruit of the Loom's would have been better than Commanders.

Exactly. It's like you could've thrown a dart at a dartboard of random animals and ended up with a better name than Commanders.

Salamanders, Gnu's, Guanaco's, Duckbill Platypi?

All better than the Commies.

They picked a name that very few actually liked in this very big revelation when everyone knew what the name was. Then they got the dates of the Super Bowl teams wrong on the re-brand, see below.

They announced the retiring of Sean Taylor's jersey 3 days before the event, in a rushed desperate move to deflect from the sexual harassment investigation that was ongoing,. Then they took a pic of Sean's family along the new Sean Taylor Drive in front of a bunch of porta potties.

Snyder tried to intimidate the victims of the sexual harassment scandal into not testifying and the league said nothing to see here.

They put London Fletcher's name up in the Ring of Fame and spelled it Flecher.

This is just the tip of the iceberg of what we have endured in Washington, 25 years of this nonsense on top of all the losing,
