Welcome your Washington Commanders

I just got this hoodie off Fanatics and I'm pretty pleased with it, I actually love the crest. But I still call them the Redskins when I talk about them out loud with people. Nobody bats an eye.

I just read that they're bringing back the marching band and revamping the words to the fight song. Bro, you can try, but that crowd is singing Hail to the Redskins when that tune plays, no matter what words you flash up on the jumbotron.

I have mixed feelings about that. I loved the fight song, and I want to be happy that they listened to those of us saying it needed to stay. But I'm not sure how it connects well with Commanders... But I'll wait and see the revamped version.
No matter what, glad the song is staying.

I think they want to make sure they still play the tune knowing full well people are going to use the old lyrics. They can’t say it but I think they want it that way.

But 10/20 years from now ? Are today's kids doing to know the lyrics of the fight song of a team they never cheered for ?

Question. How many posters here won't refer to the team as Commanders. Just want get a feel to see how many are taking that approach to the team.

I don't. I just way Washington.

If your dad had a sex change would you start calling him mom?

They aren't going to play the old tune with new lyrics. They have said it will be a new arrangement of the song so there will be familiar elements to the tune but it will sound more different than the same.

I know a man who is now a woman and her kids call her mom. So the answer to your question is yes.

Yeah this isn't a scientific poll but from the responses here less than a 3rd choose to primarily/exclusively use Commanders as the name, a bit more than a 3rd will mix Redskins and Commanders (preference to Redskins) and a bit more than a 3rd won't call them the Commanders.

If that translates to the general fan base I think that my prediction that name Commanders won't last long and the team will go thru yet another name change will occur.

No way are they going through another name change. We'll be looking back at this in a couple of years and wonder what the big deal was. Especially if we have a decent team and win a couple of games.

And I'm no Johnny come lately, been a Redskins fans since '66.

Maybe you can use that sweatshirt as a rag. Clean the house or car w/ it. :-)
