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.

This oldster generally refrains from speaking for the younger generation, but I don't see how it would make much difference.

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.
