Shoudda went with DC Commanders. Washington is a misnomer that still relates them to the tasteless slur of Redskins. Besides, DC is much mo' cool. Missed opportunity to completely bury the hatchet here folks…pun intended!
The washington who's, because the commander's name is garbage,I'm sure Commander Shepard would be happy with that name,on Mass Effect,but this football not some science fiction flick lol,this is why washington will keep being at home on the sofas watching the elite ball clubs year after year.This club needs to check their mental awareness, on where they are and what they are doing,people hate this name and they will lose money because of their stupid choice.
The Washington Liars……..
They should have just moved the team
Jason Wright named the nations capitals team name that will be chanted “commi’s and comrades”…..shows he was a diversity hire not a hire of merit….that rollout shows he and his diversity team were all over there heads …..go back to the HS level that’s rebranding schools
BRUH😩
They should have named it Washington Pigskins, design a logo with a wild boar and a football , the fans like calling them the hogs and skins anyway,
Only in this area until 2027 Then they be Va Commandos Stadium we be in Prince William or Loundon county D.C. you didn't want them Mo county you didn't want them PG didn't want them DC. won't have a team in 27.
C'mon Faux. They're the Washington REDSKINS…..SAY THE NAME, SAY IT!!!
Instead of W .why don’t they just use the four-star general on the helmet?
Go commies!
2 years and you give us Commandos and a 'W". GTFOH
Washington Commanders and Chief
Name is so fuckin trash.
Washington Commodes, always stinking up the place.
Another Snyder screw up. It is not the name so much that I dislike, but the fact that only a “W” on the helmet. They could have at least come up with some kind of creative logo for this new team name. This makes me feel like Snyder has given up…just look at him at the revealing. He looks depleted and like he just does not care anymore. And if that is the case, then just sell the team, Dan. Do yourself and all of us a big favor, and wash your hands of the whole thing, and go sail for the rest of your life in the bahamas.
Bad name. It will NEVER catch on
Was really hoping they would rename as the WA pigskins.
Marketing group needs to be fired.
Everyone hates it but if they start winning all that will be forgiven. Go Commanders
Should have kept Redskins
Washington Criminals is better
So instead of representing Natives and honoring them, they choose the military of the nation that decimated their culture… what a joke. Commanders was already an AAF team name I believe; they needed to go after the Red Wolves or Redwolves name much harder. So many better choices fans would love:
– Red Wolves
– Redtails
– Hogs
– Redwolves
– Tribe
– WFT
The District of Columbia, NOT THE STATE OF WASHINGTON… they put so much emphasis on Washington with the W where DC District of Columbia is our city , “commanders” does not relate to the District of Columbia…WASHINGTON “D.C” …smh
WASHINGTON CLOWNZ
Awful. The w logo sucks and the commanders logo is vile.
Some idiot couldn’t spell “Commandos” properly. You can only have one “Commander” that’s Biden’s dog. WFT is now named after Biden’s stupid dog.😕
Washington Red Hawks, or Red Wolves, sounds way better to me and makes much more sense.
This was so lazy. Name is terrible, jerseys look like generic madden "make a team" jerseys. The black jerseys look like the Steelers and the white like the Cardinals.
I wish they would have re-named the team the "Savages".
You got to be kidding me
Commanders? That much time to come up with a name and this is what you decided on? No wonder you aren’t that good. Not to much brain power in the management dept. , is there.
Great! So when they play crappy, we can just call them the 'Commodes'…👀
WW
Washington Wizards
Sounds like some lame Elementary stuff
