Changing The Team Name, Give It A Rest!!

Commanders isn't changing, if it was they would be announcing it by now.. Why would they keep it for another full season and then after 2 years change everything again? Just keep it, yes its bland but win games first

The only surprise from Jason Wright's comment is that Jason Wright is still there to make a comment.

This :laughing-

Agree with Mattyk though, don't think he would say something that's completely out of line with the owning group's position. And even without his comment, I was 98.7% sure going back to Redskins wasn't happening. Just way too risky. Just changing the name chosen by Snyder makes the new owner(s) the good guy(s), whatever you think about it, they don't need the controversy that would come with going back to Redskins in 2023.

I like it. Don't care if it's not Redskins either. We enjoyed the ride, lets make a new brand and hopefully associate it with some winning this time around.

Theismann is a more reliable source than Wright is at this point. Joe is a made guy and is loved in this town, no matter who the ownership group is. So I 100% believe him when he says Commanders is gone- at some point. When? Who knows..

It doesn't matter if they win the damn SB, I don't think Commanders is staying simply because literally no one likes it. If they get a name that everyone likes or can respect and can relate to, it will make them a ton of money.

When the time is right, that shitty ass name and hopefully those shitty ass uniforms are gone. We still have no identity.

Everyone, including the NFL, knew that was a placeholder name. And given that the team was just sold, it technically gives the new ownership the opportunity to rename the team.

However, it will not happen right away because the ownership have other priorities in where to spend their money (fan experience, stadium improvements, etc., etc.).

If they want to change the name, money is 100% not going to stop them. That is just ridiculous. You have an ownership group of several people and all of them have billions- except Majic, who is the poor one at around 600 million.
The money they will spend changing the name is chump change to the ownership group.

I wish you could do a true fan poll, where only actual fans of the team can vote, and vote once. Then just give it to the winner. Even if I hated the name, I would still ride with it.

But people will cheat, and other team's fans, will vote for dumbass shit like Pennyloafers, just to try and mess it up.

They could run a sale of season tickets, but you have to buy three years' worth (or something like that) and say that at the end of that sale season ticket owners get to pick the name from a list of owner-approved choices (say 5 of them).
