FC: Washington Commanders is official.
- Thread starter Midnighter

This is awful, Washington Football Team was better. They should have just kept Redskins and changed their logo to a potato.
Also, could have went with Sentinels and named their mascot Falco.

Seems like most complaints are around the logo and the rollout. No fan involvement, only one player at the unveiling, no new gear available anywhere, etc. Most are OK with the name and uniforms (noting they’re likely to change at some point) but think the ‘W’ logo is crap given they’ve had 18 months to get this ready. I also believe no local media was at the unveiling, which was carried by The Today Show. I guess they panned to a Washington fan outside the studio and he held up a sign that read ‘Why are we doing this in New York?’.
They were originally in Minneapolis, didn’t change the name when they moved.
Lol, thanks for the details. This is quintessential WFT, look no further than the Sean Taylor jersey retirement fiasco.
Not sure if this was said tic, but the Lakers moved the franchise in 1960 from Minnesota, the Land of 10,000 Lakes.

I'll play along: It's a little known fact that Sherman set Flames to Calgary after Atlanta
Should’ve gone with the Washington Red Tails. Honor the famous black airmen, keep the name similar to what it was, and announce it on the first day of black history month.
Who is against that? Seemed like an easy dunk, and they passed like Ben Simmons in the final minutes of a playoff game.

And the jokes are starting to come in. One of my acquaintances from Los Angeles just sent me "initials for Washington Commanders = WC which in England stands for
"

I was just getting ready to post the same think. Whoever came up with the name didn't put a lot of thought into what nickname others might come up with for them. I've always been a Minnesota Vikings fan ("Lets go Vikes!") I guess their fans will be yelling "Lets go Commies!"As others have mentioned, Commanders won't be their name. It'll be Commies. At least to everyone who isn't a Commie fan. They're headquartered in the hub of government, their colors are variations of red and yellow, and they're the Commies. All the work and build up ... for that?
Name the practice facility WC Fields.
They had some cool mock-up stuff for this too.
And this ... so much better than a generic "W"
Apart from any new information coming out this morning, It’s been known for a while that Snyder has NDAs all over the place.
I don’t see that as a cause for concern. Transparency is the bedrock of snyder’s business dealings and a way of life for him.
Fixed it for you you. It’s a joke around DMV. True story: One time his daughter hosted a sleepover and when a father went to the Snyder mansion to pick up his own daughter the next morning, “Hi, Dan.” “It’s Mr. Snyder.” People in his organization have been fired for less.
