I was really hoping the tweets I were reading last night saying the commanders was a misdirection and we would be surprised today Would be true, but sadly they were not and all the leaks were true,what a letdown.
I will never ever refer to this team as the commanders, the only thing they are commandeering is a pile of shit. They will forever be known as the Redskins to me and that’s what I will be calling them til the day I die.

GTFO race has nothing to do with towing the company line. Did you see anyone defend Bruce Allen because he was white. This is a hot garbage take.

I Can't believe fans on twitter are so mad at the name LOL, Like its so weird to me so many have a weird connection with a Wolf.. I love Wolves too but I'm not going apeshit because the team didn't choose "Redwolves"

I actually thought Commanders was a misdirection and the name would end up being RedWolves. But as Sheehan said the other day "this team specializes in botch jobs, not clever ruses".
I'm not a big fan but I'll get used to it. Just glad it's over.
What bothers me most is the logo with 1983, 1988, 1992. How dumb can you be?
As for the target demographic, my 13-year-old stepson hates the name but likes the uniforms so there's that.
Long live the Commies!!

But...but...but...the name sucks and this is the worst thing to ever happen to the franchise, blah blah blah!

According to @Fanatics, since launching the Commanders name, they are the top-selling team overall across all sports on Fanatics. The Terry McLaurin and Chase Young Burgundy jersey are both in the top 5 (ahead of the Tom Brady red #Bucs jersey).

Twitter is mad all the time. At everything. And everyone.
Twitter isn't real life.

After taking a nice nap, and having some time to process all of it a little bit more here are my thoughts:
I do not love, or at the moment, even like the name. I'll get used to it though and I think it's totally fine and might even be a cool imposing name if we actually start to win something.
I'm glad Jason said something about this 'just being the launch.' As insane as it is considering they had a good chunk of time to iron out all the details, there is so much about this that feels unfinished. The logo needs to evolve rather quickly IMO, and the crest is actually pretty cool and would be a decent primary logo on its own. The potential for a mascot of sorts is also pretty cool, and the possibility that the existing fight song can probably incorporate Commanders and live on is cool.
The jerseys are the biggest letdown for me. The Burgundy could have looked really, really classy but that giant 'Commanders' above the number is jarring and cheapens the whole look. Especially when you consider how nice the burgundy helmets look, it's really a damn shame. The white jerseys look like they belong to a different team. The lack of gold accents and not using the same shade of burgundy as the home jerseys is such a shame. I'm not a fan of an all-black uniform but I guess they're fine... until you look at that ridiculous W on the front of the helmet black helmet.

I’m sure the uniforms will evolve and tweaked
