I just dont understand the whole concept of briding us to our history and our fans wishes the going with commanders out of the blue arbitrarily and just saying they will get used to it, winning solves everything, well to me, it doesnt as we will not win every year and then we are back to, who the hell are we? What are we commanding anyways? A giant W? There was no thought in this, we are almost 100 years old and the morons who gave us this lame name are all gone and all sucked. If we are winners, and hit home runs everywhere, lets do it with them most important of all, one that last longer than a qb, coach, gm or stadium. Our identity. It is a huge deal. Otherwise, just call us the puppies or frogs or something equally stupid

A giant W for Washington just like a giant C is for chicago or a giant D for Denver or LA for Los Angeles, or G for Green Bay, or SF for San Francisco……
Commanders is the same as generals it means we are the ones in charge. It is a nod to the military and has much more to do with DC than puppies or frogs
All I am saying is it isn’t like we are re-named the cock smokers and a giant eggplant [emoji533] is on our helmet and no Commanders with a W for Washington DC is not the same thing.
You want history? Let’s get the stadium back in DC, where that W means something. Im sure they can pay homage somehow to our past in the uniforms too. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that W though.
