Commanders ... okay. What we expected.

I guess Ill spend the rest of my life trying to get used to it.

Now go find a good QB for the next 10 years.

The logo is total shit. It looks like Dan Snyder drew it with a protractor and a ruler on his desk. No artistry whatsoever. Also, I've been a Washington fan for over 50 years and even I don't know what some of those dates are supposed to represent.

Summo could have designed better uniforms and graphics in 15 minutes than the dog doo Snyder and his minions came up with after two years of bullshitting us about the fans being part of the process.

2 NFL Championships and 3 Super Bowl Victories plus the inaugural year of the franchise.

Been a fan 50 years and don't know that? Might be more embarrassing then this name change.

Well, for the last 20 years we've been saying talk with your $, or lack thereof. Many have done so as evidences from the hardest ticket to get in the NFL to the easiest. Demand has plunged and not just because of losing, it is because of active fans withholding spend due to Danny and his destructiveness. I used to spend wads of cash on redskins gear but have played the long game. The really long game. Was hoping the hole it the pocket would eventually hurt so bad that he would sell the team. Instead, he has a vice grip on this victim of a team and fanbase. I am totally guilty of enabling this guy, but frankly being a skins fan is a personal identity of mine which doesn't seem to subside, it just is continually hopeful with hopes dashed year over year like a trouble relationship. I personally feel the skins are either dead today or I go into deep denial and just keep calling the the Redskins. I have a decision to make. I was hoping something to ease the transition like redwolves, but for me, this is an identity, psychologically deep, and Commanders is a completely unrelated identity. I'm a bit lost as to what to do next. My family is encouraging me to adopt a new team, one that isn't chronically dysfunctional as it is becoming unhealthy to continue supporting something that is bad for me
The problem is the NFL does profit sharing so he will always have $$$ coming in even we stopped buying merch and going to games.

Bullets to Wizards was way worst. Indians to Guardians was horrible. Commanders isn't that bad.

IMO Redwolves was not so great, there are no wolves roaming around DC.

Is there somewhere that shows the percentage of fans that liked other names instead? Like __% of fans wanted Red Tails, etc...

My guess is 90% of fans didn't want ANY other name at all.

Those that are angry are always going to be more vocal than those that are satisfied. This is true in google reviews, yelp, school board meetings and renaming NFL teams.

Not so. For example, winning the Superbowl on a day in 1992 makes them the 1991 NFL Champions, not the 1992 champions.

I mostly agree with this. Commanders is definitely better than Wizards or Guardians.

The uni's need some tweaking but I am of the opinion it could be worse. Football Team was worse.

Can't argue with that.

That's not how it works.

Just like they aren't calling it the 2021 Pro Bowl coming up.
