Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
I think Hogs would appease the older generation who remembers the glory days.
But it wouldn't do anything to bring in the younger crowd (me) who has no quality memories to speak of. It would be like naming them the Washington Slingin' Sammies - you might appease the seniors who remember those days but if you didn't witness it it doesn't hold the same weight.

Unless Commanders has some kind of innate hipness that eludes me. Methinks a properly and efficiently run franchise would both bring in the young and retain the old. Doing some quick and dirty math, the youngest fans who actually saw Sammy Baugh would be 76 years old. That's assuming a 7 years old saw him in this last year (1952). Not a big constituency, but I would take that name over Commanders any day. Impressed you know who he was. ![]() |

That's where we're trending with sports team names nowadays. Kraken is the exception. Vegas Golden Knights, Cleveland Guardians, Oklahoma City Thunder - none of them are particularly intimidating. It's hard to come up with a name that not only inspires confidence in a fanbase/strikes fear in an opponent while also being non-offensive to any singular group out there.

Commanders is not going to strike fear in anyone, let alone another team composed of young men at their physical peak and fed a hefty dose of machismo and maybe PEDs. Your use of the word "generic" is quite apt. |
