Name Reveal 2.2.22

Based on the thread in Nicki's tweet, it looks like this was a local/regional commercial.

Yeah that seems to be correct, I saw someone on Twitter say it was national but it seems that it was just local.

I didn't see it on Fox 45 in Baltimore my guess is it was based on what NFL has determined to by Washington's viewing area.

Totally understand that view. But this commercial was done in good taste and was not at all tacky or sleazy. They honored the past while looking to the future. I would guess Snyder had nothing to do with it. It's business 101 to promote a new brand announcement and also try to sell some tickets in the process.

Sure, viewed in isolation it makes sense and was a well done commercial. And I am relieved that it was run locally.

But coupled with the Today Show, I cannot help but look at the big picture. I hope I am wrong.

And it is Danny who is tacky and sleazy, not the commercial. ;)

No announcement, just run out the 1st preseason game with new uniforms/name.

that's not a bad idea.
Maybe they should release the name during the draft?
"With the 11th pick in the 2022 draft, the Washington Rugmunchers select..."

actually a release at the draft would not have been a bad way to do it.

Was the new name leaked ?

Let’s rebrand our play on the field, and get back to being a perennial contender. Winning will make any name, and any uniform better.

I am pretty sure the powers that be see nothing wrong with Hail to the Commanders.

This is likely true

Your post made me laugh until I cried. That would be the most hilarious draft moment ever! Very fitting nickname, too.

I’m sure it will be a big upheaval and the team will lose some fans over the name change .. with that said I’m gonna remain a fan regardless.. I never thought they should have changed the name from Redskins .. but what do I know ? I’m a older white guy that’s allready targeted as racist by the mob .. ( same damn bunch that hated the skins name) .. if I’m crossing the line then ban me .. in a few days it won’t matter because from what I’m reading most of you will abandon ship .. if it’s commanders so be it !! If I were rich enough to own a nfl team I would damn sure pick a name I like … I don’t like Danny’s past accusations so if you guys wanna down him for that I’m on board … but I see the same guys who hate Snyder for alleged allegations are wanting a QB who has been accused by over 20 women of misconduct.. thus is a sea of hypocrisy..
