I don't count this as a strike against Josh. The fact that from what I can tell they floated a few trial balloons to check the temp was encouraging.
Jesus .... strike one already? Have any of you seen all the things he has done in a short time?
40 million into FedEx!
I actually like today's uniform. Will always be a Redskin regardless.
hate the team name and unis,at least they can pick a decent name with better unis throwing back to the old days.
I was going to count ALL (which i really have not seen much) the good to date (like buying the team) and give new ownership a pass on this one but since most here seem to keep score on the organization, I can honestly say its 1 strike vs all the good things that have transpired to date. Some may not consider the name change a strike since it ties to Snyder & Co but Jason Wright is still in the building and he was heavily involved in the process and absolutely lied to the fan base purposely and I won't let that go. Once a liar, always a liar.
I hear ya. I agree Jason needs to go. I have no doubt Commanders is on its way out. Redskins was always the longest of long shots.
Warriors, Braves, WFT with the NA logo and unis is a no brainer.
Totally understand and agree KB.
I vowed not to post on this topic again but considering the continued interest in it I feel compelled to offer a few more thoughts
First, and thankfully the name isn't coming back but that doesn't mean that there's not a naming compromise that both satisfies the desire to keep what some see as a noble heritage and those who see it as revolting. Here's the compromise...
Rename the team after an ACTUAL Native American tribe with their blessing and whatever else they require. This can be done following the same precedent set by Florida State University.
The Seminole Tribe of Florida has expressed its support of Florida State University’s nickname and logos. The tribe collaborates with the university and athletic department. It approved the regalia used by Osceola, the student who plants the flaming spear at midfield and consulted with FSU on redesigned uniforms in 2014. The markings on the football team's sleeves show the tribe's symbols for arrow, man, man on horse, and fire. The NCAA reviewed its guidelines on Native American nicknames in 2005 and the Seminoles tribal council unanimously approved a resolution supporting FSU's use of the name. The university refers to it as a SYMBOL rather than a mascot and works closely with the tribe whenever it creates new merchandise inspired by its Seminole connection.
It’s worth noting that as Washington’s NFL team and the Cleveland Indians reconsider their names amidst nationwide conversations on racial equality and social justice, FSU wants to educate people on the Seminoles. In announcing a special task force on anti-racism
and racial equality earlier, this week, FSU president John Thrasher said he wanted to "create" an educational outreach program about FSU's history and relationship with the Seminole Tribe of Florida.
Finally, here's a list of all native American Tribes that have lived in this country. It's a rather long list but I suggest that the name could and probably should be one that currently exists. (There are 574 of them) The link...
