Weird name.
The Washington Football Team has finally announced their new team name after 2 years.
Weird name.
Call me old one more time.
- Roy Kent
Things I like:
The White Jersey. The pictures I've seen so far, they look good.
Keeping the "W" logo
This T-shirt
Things I am indifferent on:
Name. It's an alright name. It's whatever. Super safe.
The Burgundy jersey is pretty cool. But the colour I dislike, but I get they didn't want to change the colour
Things I dislike:
The soccer crest-like logo. It's too busy
The black jersey. If the "gold" numbers are yellow. It looks like an XFL jersey. Looks doodo
The fact that the team could be called "The Commies" and have a red-ish colour in the Countries Capital.

I loved the camera zoom reveal from last night. Pretty hilarious.
How they didn't have a sheet over the stuff is beyond me lol.
The team isn't even selling white/black jerseys yet...like hoowwwww. They had Sean Taylor in the hype video but pretty much pooped his ceremony they had this yr. The team has 0 care for this era of the organization.
I was a fan of the team. I like the players, I've rooted for them since 2005-ish, but this last couple of yrs have made me so numb to the team that I've decided to start rooting for Cincy. It was the Raiders vs Cincy winner that won my faith (have it said in the DobberHockey chat, so not as bad of a bandwaggonner lol). But man, this ownership is terrible and don't care enough to do anything right. Especially if it costs a couple of extra bucks to get a black sheet to hang over the banners to keep them secret.

Washington Communists. Commies for short. They nailed it.
The name is too long and as noted above, the obvious shortened name has unintentional consequences. It is hard to find names that please everyone, to be sure. But Washington Football Team is just so much better than Commanders.
Chase Young, the face of the franchise, was asked to grade a bunch of rumoured names in November and he gave Washington Commanders an F lol. I know you can't go to a 2nd yr player for input and solely go with his thoughts, but that's just sooooo much this Franchise.

Football Team was a significantly better name than Commanders. Should have just left it alone.
They are testing out new chants and one is like the "We are Farmers. badabdadabda" but it's "We are Commanders. badadabadbada" lol. ewwwwwww

I’m still stunned removing Aunt Jemima from pancake boxes and syrup bottles didn’t end racism for good.
Commies is a great name. Perfect choice.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
The Washington Brigade would have been great. Commanders? Meh- It's better than the Guardians.

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
Yikes, this name is bad, like really really bad.
2 obvious problems: 3 syllable (or longer) names get shortened Timberwolves --> Wolves or T-Wolves, Buccaneers --> Bucs, 49ers --> 9ers.
The first shortening that comes to mind is "Commies" that is not good.
Second, when I first read it it changed to "Commodores" in my head. Maybe it's just me but I've heard Commodores in several sport versions before.
I think my brain will default to "Commodores" in at least the short term.
Commanders seems like a bad crossover of "do not want to use a real military rank: Generals, Captains etc. but want to have some reference to military
I'm sure most NFL fans will get over it within a year but first impression is Yuck, terrible choice.
