Come up with a new name for the Redskins

[JackLord]

Please, not Commanders! That sounds like a yachting team composed of gin swilling buddies of Snyder.

And lose that W already. It looks like this one:

https://www.wm.com/

Or this one:

https://www.windownation.com/

And even this one:

https://www.winnebago.com/


REDsomethingorother with the scripted R or the Lombardi R. Cool and Continuity work well together.

The RED Is most likely done.. we need to accept that and move on.. The W is actually really clean , as is the G for GB or C for Chicago.. The Cowboys star is used all over the place as well.. Commanders isn't a terrible name, it's better than just WFT

Why is RED done and why do you accept that? That is our history and can continue with some simple tweaks.


Although I loathe them, the Cowboy star is actually very, very cool. Say what you will, but Dallas' images, from the uniforms to the cheerleaders, have always been impressive.

The current W fits in perfectly with the sterile landscape that is FedEx Field. Keep WFT and put a nice, traditional block W in there.

Funny you mention Green Bay, but the aforementioned Lombardi R was designed with the G in mind as obviously Vince had been there.

What will the logo be? WC? The bathroom’s!!

I almost don't care about the name, just as long as it stops commentators saying the whole name just to emphasise its a temporary name/crap. It's well beyond tiresome now.

What's funny is how commentators actually keep saying Redskins by default.

I heard Collingsworth and Michaels do it and then have a laugh. Aikman did it on Thanksgiving until Buck corrected him. And then this past Monday night one of those guys did it.

Force of habit.

Better than when Phil Simms made a bid deal of how he was never going to use it and then proceeded to use it multiple times when he covered the <gasp!> Redskins.

Makes me think this was manufactured outrage from the get go.

Levy said Redskins at the end of the game on MNF.

Yea that was the guy.

I guess the Earth did not open up and swallow him.

Commanders.

Start getting used to it now and when it's formally announced you won't be surprised.

I really don't get why we should assume it'll be Commanders... Did I miss something or is the only "evidence" supporting this rumor a written comment on SNS saying somebody knows somebody working at New Era ?

I will need more to believe it. They went through all this process and all, and I never saw Commanders having any real fans support. Warriors did, that's out. Renegades does a little bit. Hogs/WarHogs has some... And obviously Redwolves/Wolves leads the pack. I know the rebranding isn't an online popularity contest, but Commanders still feels like an outsider in this race.

I agree, though Commanders has gotten a lot of non standard media play, it I almost like the Skins are trying to see the best way to frame it.

Yet Wolves gets zero media leakage. My Wolf-fandom wants to say that's because they have the truth locked up tight, but that is not the history of DS' team.

Well if you wanna go this way they have thrown a lot of wolves related hints out there too... It makes sense that they'd be trying to see some fans reactions to their options, but I don't see what makes Commanders so much likely than the other ones.

I think Commanders fits with what RR would pick, and definitely Snyder would fawn over the military connection.

I still believe it will be Wolves based on the Making the brand videos and the packaging of them.

Just want them to announce it so it is over with.

People like JP Finlay and some others connected to the team have been saying it's going to be Commanders for a while now. I don't think fan support means much big picture. And wolves definitely seems out now.
