I hate the new name, hell, half of us can't even spell the damned word. And it seems pretentious, as if Dan Snyder could command a troop of boy scouts to a latrine.
What should we call this thread? Gimme some feedback.
- Washington Commanders Team Thread
- Washington NFL Team Thread
- Washington Football Team Thread
- Suffering Washington Fans Thread
Just give it a generic thread name, just like the team name is generic.
Been a Redskin fan forever, and attended my first game when Sonny was the QB. Had season tickets from 1981-1994, and was at every game. Die hard Redskin fan here!
First, I was extremely disappointed in the decision to surrender to the woke crowd, and abandon the Redskins name. The name has such a long rich history, I considered it an insult to such an historically significant franchise, and a betrayal of the entire Redskin family.
When they came up with the interim name “Washington Football Team”, I scratched my head in wondering who came up with this gem? WFT is so close to WTF, perhaps it should stay. And for a while now, there has been all this hype and anticipation and rumors and much speculating about the new name, and all of the hints and misdirection, and this build up to the BIG REVEAL! Figuring that they must have come up with something more creative, we anxiously anticipated the big day, of the BIG REVEAL, and it finally arrives, and what happened?
The most pathetic demonstration of incompetence so far from Snyder and his crew of brain dead nincompoops that shouldn’t be trusted to manage a lemonade stand. This entire organization continues to set new records of incompetency. The bar is set so low now, an ant can’t crawl under it. It literally defies explanation.
Setting aside for a moment the name itself, which is horrible and seems to be a universal fail among fans ….. we sit on the edge of our seats, counting down the days leading up to 2-2-22 for this suspenseful big reveal, and this is what they present? This low budget, less than generic presentation that looks like they put all of an hour and a half into the production. I mean, it leaves me speechless…. and it really is the epitome of what has become the Dan Snyder Redskins over the decades, one boneheaded maneuver after another. The scandals, the idiotic personnel decisions, the blown opportunities, none of this could have been better demonstrated than this ill conceived, atrociously pasted together farce of a “big reveal day”. A generic backdrop that looked like something that was reclaimed from a warehouse somewhere, faded and dusty, and three mannequins off to the side of the stage dressed in plain, generic looking uniforms, with a plain generic W as the new team logo?
I saw the hint video with Ron Rivera seeing the helmet for the first time, and he’s saying “oh yeah, I like that”. You like that? A lot? It’s a freaking W for gods sake. I was hoping for something a little more creative … why? I have no idea why I would expect this clown show to produce something amazing. What was I thinking?
Just another sad day for the Washington Redskins fans … how many more?

Well, did they know this would happen, or were oblivious to it? Color of red, new name Commanders and now the name is shortened to "Commies" out in twitter land? They did not see this coming?

We may have seen our last if we just walk away from this clown show.
The logo looks like a city logo, basically something you'd see on the door of a city or county work truck. It has no personality, and I don't think they have a mascot either.. it's just the letter W, and the soul-less logo. No real imagery to build on..

I emailed them a dozen times. I advocated switching to Redhawks and going with the Lombardi/Allen R or the scripted R.
As always, Dan Snyder disdains common sense.
