[QUOTE=BaltimoreSkins;1307416]I like the black. I also hope they have an all black uni for prime time games. That could look bad ass[/QUOTE]Hopefully they change the colors to Maroon and Black to make the break even more complete.

Re: Name Reveal 2.2.22
 

[quote=CRedskinsRule;1307413]Sorry, I am becoming more convinced that I will not root for a team owned by DS named the Commanders. The name fits DS as an egotistical man who thinks the world revolves around him. Further it would be the height of arrogance to use the tag line "the people's team" while completely disregarding the fans inputs for the rebrand. Lots of lip service, then put it on the fans for the team's unwillingness to do what it took to get one of the main fan names (not necessarily wolves/redwolves).

This year under Jason Wright and RR the team still operated with disregard to their fans, focused on petty disputes (benches) and disparaged a team great(ST21) to cover up bad ownership.

I will always cherish the memories of the great Redskins teams but this organization doesn't deserve to be the commanders of that legacy's respect.

I am heading that way too. With Commanders or the like, we are getting a new team owned by Daniel Snyder.

Let me be clear. If the team was sold to, let's say, Jeff Bezos, John Kent Cooke, or Whoever and was named Commanders, I would cheer it on.

It all comes down to Snyder now. This is a chance for a clean break from what has been a nightmare owner.

Re: Name Reveal 2.2.22
 

If I hated Snyder that much I would never ever pull for his team ..no matter what the name even Redskins , Truth is if anyone thinks there aren’t other owners that are just as bad then think agian .. it’s also the other owners who let Dan stay in the league .. the NFL in general is a billionaire good ole boys club .lots to dislike about Pro sports overall ..

Leaving the DC team doesn't mean I am going jump onto another team that has crappy ownership, heck doesn't even mean I am jumping to another team at all, just that I am going to try not to be emotionally invested in this team.

The evidence indicates otherwise. There is no other owner who has a record of arrogance, sleazery, and just plain stupidity as Daniel Snyder.

And Daniel Snyder is not a jerk because he is rich. Were that so, then men like Warren Buffet would be reviled too. Snyder is a jerk because that is what he is.

I do not pretend to know why.

I’d be down with that but be prepared for warpath conspiracy theorist spouting that Jim Zorn is some sort of prophet.

I am holding out my judgement until the name is announced but will say that if it is Commanders or Admirals I will be greatly displeased.

Re: Name Reveal 2.2.22
 

[quote=rocnrik;1307415]The vast majority of fans relate the name commanders solely to the military etc .. and that very well may be what the team wants( if the do indeed go with the name)
There also is another slant to the name .. The city was named after George Washington the first President .. He was the Commander in chief of the country ( in peace time and war) ..
I could be totally wrong but the name could be a [B]Nod to the First President[/B].. just a thought[/quote]


You mean the guy who owned slaves?

There are people already protesting any "nod" to our founders. So ... sadly ... that would take us from one frying pan to another.

Wait til they find out in American Indian culture before Europeans ever stood foot here that captured Indians were treated as slaves. Slavery was apart of American Indian culture. And Indians also had Africans slaves as well once chattel slavery was introduced to North America.

Also The America Indian were savages which committed unspeakable atrocities to each other long before any other stepped foot here.

All the more reason to not name a team after people. People by nature are fallible and therefore always assholes. Groundhogs however are pure and saintly

History will teach us that “Vikings, Raiders and Buccaneers” were just as ruthless and you don’t hear any complaints about them. Probably because SpongeBob and Disney made them cute lol

I’m surprised that small people don’t protest the NY giants ..😳
