Many of these animals, such as Eastern Gray Squirrels, Blue Jays, and Robins, live here year-round. Others, such as Great Blue Herons, Wood Thrush, and many species of Warblers, are seasonal and migrate during the spring and fall.

Oh, it's official: Washington Warblers

This would become the 2nd best sports team name of all time, after Supersonics #rip.

might as well call them the Washington v-jay-jays . . . as with that logo we'd be looked at as a nothing more . . . here is AZ, the Cardinals are laughed at for the same reason . . . nothing intimidating about a little tiny bird as you logo

Who cares if a name is intimidating? Not going to make you play better. Like do opponents play worse against teams w/ "scary" names? Uh oh, we can't beat Detroit, because lions are fierce animals. We better forfeit.

To me, originality is the key to a good name.

Commanders has the stench of Dan Snyder. That in of itself makes it the worst out of all the possible names.

Now that you say that I kind of think the Buffalo Bills are intimidating. When your team is named after a serial killer that wears a suit made of female skin that can be freaky. They should wheel out Josh Allen in a Hannibal Lecter mask and a straight jacket during game intros and refer to opposing players as Clarice.

That's a solid name. A little long in the tooth though. Woodchucks was mentioned in that link too. That would be another great option.

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck

I'm putting this here although it is more related to the old argument than immediate name change one. I hadn't seen this before and found it useful when in that argument about the term Redskins. It does have ammunition for both sides.

The Washington Swamp Creatures. Just think of what the logos might look like. The mascot could be named Swamp Thing.

I think new uniforms would go a long way to make Commanders more palatable.

Is there really a team name out there that is intimidating? I doubt any NFL player is scared of a Bear, Giant or Buccaneer logo

I agree on a), not so much on b) although that too plays a role.

It’s hard to imagine there’s a slam dunk name that would make everyone happy.

Nobody likes change, over time we get over it.
