Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
I will also say this; its a LOT more fun when you are fan of your home town's team.
When the Celtics, sox and Bruins won it all and I lived back in RI it was so much fun going to school and everyone being happy etc... When the Skins won it in 91 i lived in RI. I was like YES WE WON, then proceeded to air high five thousands of imaginary Skins fans living around me.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
I agree with CR it’s just not the Redskins I grew up with and cheered for win or lose.there was always some hope, now with all the dirty coming out and just the absolute no light at the end of the tunnel coupled with them literally changing the name and logo; I just feel it’s a good time to break free.
Look at Denver they have not won in awhile but that place was rocking this past Sunday and Von Miller was literally crying that they traded him. If there is any tears here after a trade or release they are fucking tears of joy. I got believe no player or coach willingly wants to come here unless it’s their only or last chance in the NFL. It has to be the laughing stock of the nfl amongst its members.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
I, too, became fan because of the name, at least indirectly. It was at the 90s in school when Football became popular over here and everyone in my school was rooting for the cowboys - I picked the biggest rival, in name and reality.
But honestly, since I grew up with European Soccer at a time where about zero teams hat official names (my team had the nickname the Red Devils, but it was never announced or seen in statistics) I even do not see the big problem with Washington Football Team. If the announcers weren´t so stupid to always announce "the football team" instead of Washington, it would also not sound bad on TV. I get the want for a cool and new name and I am all for it. But it would not end my fanship if there is none or if it is stupid or boring. |

-If they start losing then the new name is a curse and they had better stuck with the no name... -If they keep on winning, well build on the enthusiasm and have something to keep fans engaged up until FA and the draft ! I see no benefit for them in announcing it before the season ends. Including the potential playoffs (playoffs?!). I thought they would announce it like in March, or just before the draft... maybe this "very soon" means January/February, which in term of finalizing the launching of a multi billion dollars franchise, is indeed "very soon".

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
I hope it’s the Commanders, I actually really dig that name.

My take is that Commanders would be a very RR/DS choice. RedWolves (or Wolves) would mean they actually listened to the fans. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk |

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins
Very unconfirmed rumor but Washington Commanders is trending on Twitter right now because someone's sister's brother's cousin at New Era is mass producing Commanders gear.
