Joe Theisman says Commanders new ownership “want to move towards a new name” and put the past in the rear view mirror. Via @PatMcAfeeShow[/quote]

I like it. Don't care if it's not Redskins either. We enjoyed the ride, lets make a new brand and hopefully associate it with some winning this time around.

Re: Changing The Team Name, Give It A Rest!!
 

Theismann is a more reliable source than Wright is at this point. Joe is a made guy and is loved in this town, no matter who the ownership group is. So I 100% believe him when he says Commanders is gone- at some point. When? Who knows..

It doesn't matter if they win the damn SB, I don't think Commanders is staying simply because literally no one likes it. If they get a name that everyone likes or can respect and can relate to, it will make them a ton of money.

When the time is right, that shitty ass name and hopefully those shitty ass uniforms are gone. We still have no identity.

Re: Changing The Team Name, Give It A Rest!!
 

[quote=Ruhskins;1344278]Everyone, including the NFL, knew that was a placeholder name. And given that the team was just sold, it technically gives the new ownership the opportunity to rename the team.

However, it will not happen right away because the ownership have other priorities in where to spend their money (fan experience, stadium improvements, etc., etc.).[/quote]

If they want to change the name, money is 100% not going to stop them. That is just ridiculous. You have an ownership group of several people and all of them have billions- except Majic, who is the poor one at around 600 million.
The money they will spend changing the name is chump change to the ownership group.

I wish you could do a true fan poll, where only actual fans of the team can vote, and vote once. Then just give it to the winner. Even if I hated the name, I would still ride with it.

But people will cheat, and other team's fans, will vote for dumbass shit like Pennyloafers, just to try and mess it up.

They could run a sale of season tickets, but you have to buy three years' worth (or something like that) and say that at the end of that sale season ticket owners get to pick the name from a list of owner-approved choices (say 5 of them).

It would go back to Redskins if they did that, and I can't see that being allowed to happen.

My thoughts precisely. Joe T is Gospel in the DMV and probably knows more than most journalists. Change the name to something respectable to remove the skid mark douche bag Danny created and move on. I’m all in on that approach.

Re: Changing The Team Name, Give It A Rest!!
 

I think Joey T's sphere of influence is blown out of proportion here based on most of our ages. I am willing to bet the average Commanders fan under the age of 35 doesn't even know who he is.

joe would not just come out and say what he said if he didn't hear this from someone high up on the food chain.

Joey T > Jason Wright

Joey T should just come and tell everybody we are changing it back to the Skins

Joe has said some stupid shit in the past, and he's always trying to bring attention to himself (see the whole Dwayne Haskins jersey number episode)

When a credible reporter like John Keim or Nicki Jhabala says anything about a name change I'll believe it.

The only people that keep talking about a name change are the delusional people that want the old name back, the people that are mad they didn't get Redwolves, or anyone in the media that wants clicks.

It makes huge sense to make a change. You start by changing the culture of the entire team and that means starting fresh. Only way to do that is new name/logo/etc. I do think they should do this when they get a new stadium though. Get that push to rebuild in old RFK spot.


Idiots wanting the Redskins name to be brought back need to fuck off. It's never happening. Ever. End of story. Move on or go support another team. It's that simple.

Re: Changing The Team Name, Give It A Rest!!
 

The name will likely change with the new stadium announcement. The lease for Fedex Field is up in 2027, so next season (before preferably) would make sense to have a new name and location, lining up sponsors that make sense for the new name. Lots of work has to be put in to make that happen, and depends on how useful the work done under Snyder is.

I think it may be the other way around: get the stadium deal done and then look into changing the name, and if that happens you have the new name unveiling with the new stadium. That's easily a 5-10 year project, which gives the organization plenty of time to do their homework and get everything done correctly.
