Washington gets their new name

[Cooterpoot]

The Commanders
I'll just call them The Commies.

 

[PBDog]

I like Football Team better

 

[STATEgrad04]

They're going Commando!

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

No matter what they picked it would be ripped apart.

 

[thatsbaseball]

This ought to really change some things for the better **

 

[57stratdawg]

Haha definitely. But, I kind of liked “Football Team”.

 

[PirateDawg]

That's a fine oxymoron!

The Commanders
I'll just call them The Commies.

Fits with Washington

So, does this mean Dan Snyder saw his shadow or not?

Do worthless, scumbag slugs have shadows?

 

[dawgman42]

They'll always be the Foreskins. Always.

Red Wolves would’ve been better, but they’ll always be the redskins to me.

 

[00Dawg]

Yeah, Red Wolves was the winning play.

So many ways to tie back in to their history. Oh, well. Missed opportunity.

As a fan of this band of misfits, I would like to inform everyone that I am ok with the name. I actually kinda liked WFT, but Commanders is not bad. The black uniforms are pretty sweet.
Now with all that out of the way, these idiots need to go find a QB. I am to the point where i'm ok with them trading up for Matt.

Beltway Bandits would have been good. And based on the way some of them embraced House of Cards, I suspect a lot of politicians would have liked it too.

Red Wolves would’ve been better, but they’ll always be the redskins to me.

Why is that?

 

[RiceDawg]

It’s not a slight towards them, I’ll just remember more about them as the Redskins.

 

[Hump4Hoops]

They market researched it to death.

Obviously was always going to lead them to the most milquetoast option possible. I thought the Texans was bad, but this is so much worse.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

No, that's the Arena League team:

The is true. Can you imagine if social media would have been around when the Browns or Packers were being named

Red Wolves was shot down because of trademarks held by other organizations is what was reported.

 

[Irondawg]

I still wanted it to Pigskins. Could have kept the “skins” logo and ties into the big thing they had going on with the O-line.

And when has the NFL really worried about a mascot trademark. Especially one that nobody can name offhand. That was an excuse to not have anything “red” in the name.

They could have just gone with Wolves

I wonder if they explored buying the trademark or using that as an excuse for not adopting the "red wolves" mascot. I listen to a DC based sports show and I think red wolves was preferred by most fans.

 

[Cooterpoot]

Democrats wouldn't let them use "red" in the name. *

 

[HumpDawgy]

I guess the Mandators lost out in a close one. Or was it Man Daters?

 

[PirateDawg]

They love "red" China!

 

[Dawgg]

Of all the names available to them, that was certainly one of them.

 

[Mr. Cook]

Isn't "Commander" the name of one of Biden's dogs?
