To me, originality is the key to a good name.

lol . . . it is a name that would be looked at worse than the commanders

Commanders has the stench of Dan Snyder. That in of itself makes it the worst out of all the possible names.

Now that you say that I kind of think the Buffalo Bills are intimidating. When your team is named after a serial killer that wears a suit made of female skin that can be freaky. They should wheel out Josh Allen in a Hannibal Lecter mask and a straight jacket during game intros and refer to opposing players as Clarice.

Snyder was probably too busy funneling money from the team to care about the name.

Still that stench is there which is the second most important reason the name is hated by the vast majority of the teams fans.

I think most people hate the name because a.) it is not the Redskins or b.) it was not the name they wanted (i.e. Redwolves crowd).

I am sure there are people that don't like the name because it is associated with Snyder, but not as many as the other two groups that I mentioned.

Winning is the key to everything, if this team becomes a consistent winning team, the ownership will be able to do just about anything in terms of the name, change it (along with a new stadium) or keeping it.

I agree on a), not so much on b) although that too plays a role.

It’s hard to imagine there’s a slam dunk name that would make everyone happy.

Nobody likes change, over time we get over it.

The right thing would be the Redskins, but that would take a fight with the NFL I'm sure they won't want. Next best thing would be a NA themed name and unretire the logos. Changing the name to anything else would at least remove Snyder's stench so anything at this point would be more popular/supported than Commanders.

Anything NA related is putting us right back in the crosshairs we were in with Redskins. There’s no chance they go that route.

As far as I’m concerned the Snyder stench left with Snyder. He’s gone, it’s over.

I like commanders because that is the name when Snyder Got booted … that alone gives me a good feeling!! I look at the Commanders out ranked little Danny ….

I think most people realize Redskins isn't coming back. I wish people would give that a rest. You can still wear your gear like I do, but it's dead.

I would go to Bravehearts and put the arrow w/ the feather on the helmets. It was the helmet of the mid and late 60's. I'm going back to one of the old uniforms and calling it a day.

This is what Dan should have done. He could have just called it the WFT until he figured something out, and went back to that 60's helmet.

Having a 3 syllable name that you can't make to one syllable is just stupid.

All of the teams that have 3 you can shorten it down... Pats, Jags, Cards, Bucs. Then you got Commanders. The only way to shorten it is Commies. smfh.. Didn't he think of this? Snyder is so stupid. It shocks me that he got to own an NFL team. I seriously hope his mega boat hits a rock like some Titanic shit- and he drowns or is eaten by sharks.

JK.. sort of... :-)
