Re: Changing The Team Name, Give It A Rest!!
Amid calls for another name change, the Commanders signed a partnership with the U.S. Air Force and created a military-themed suite at FedEx Field.
Defensive players also have Air National Guard patches on their practice jerseys, and offensive players have patches for Folds of Honor, an organization that provides scholarships to families of service members and first responders. - Nicki Jhabvala (Interesting but probably not important) |

They could still change the name to the sky pilots or the Tactical Air Commands. |

Of course. Just wanted to use synonyms for Air Force. I really do hate the name Commanders. Hasn’t grown on me at all. I find myself saying Washington when asked who I root for because I’m embarrassed to say Commanders. I don’t think I have ever said it. It is just over the top terrible. I personally think they will change the name. Definitely not to Redskins or Red anything but my God I could make a list ten miles long of better names than Commanders. Only way I would be down with that name is if we had a guy dominating a woman in some bondage scene on our helmets. |

Re: Changing The Team Name, Give It A Rest!!
I am indifferent to most names. I personally like names that have a connection to the city: 49ers, Steelers, Packers. The only other name I think actually is kinda cool is Chargers. Some are just dumb Bills for example. Most names are really just generic there is just history behind them.

Re: Changing The Team Name, Give It A Rest!!
Due to its proximity to Rock Creek Park, the Chesapeake Bay, and the Anacostia and Potomac Rivers, Washington, DC is home to a diverse population of animal and plant life. 240 species of birds, 29 mammals, 21 reptiles, 19 amphibians, and 78 species of fish can be found in the DC Metro Area. Many of these animals, such as Eastern Gray Squirrels, Blue Jays, and Robins, live here year-round. Others, such as Great Blue Herons, Wood Thrush, and many species of Warblers, are seasonal and migrate during the spring and fall.

You didn't want to go with the Washington Virginia Opossums?

Re: Changing The Team Name, Give It A Rest!!
I'm putting this here although it is more related to the old argument than immediate name change one. I hadn't seen this before and found it useful when in that argument about the term Redskins. It does have ammunition for both sides.

The Washington Swamp Creatures. Just think of what the logos might look like. The mascot could be named Swamp Thing.

I think new uniforms would go a long way to make Commanders more palatable.

Re: Changing The Team Name, Give It A Rest!!
Is there really a team name out there that is intimidating? I doubt any NFL player is scared of a Bear, Giant or Buccaneer logo
