Changing The Team Name, Give It A Rest!!

[MTK]

From some rumblings we've heard so far it doesn't sound like the name will be changed.

If they do decide to change it, the new name better be a home run that wins over the majority or the new ownership groups risks souring fans right off the bat. I think they'd be better off putting their time and resources elsewhere but we shall see.

It risks souring 20% of the fans who say keep the name (But probably not since it looks like that group will accept anything) and placating a large percentage of the 80% that hate the stain. So it probably would be wise if they want a happy (happier) fanbase to change the name.

There is worst names then Commanders; of the 80% probably the majority hate change more then the name Commanders.

For me the only change that be better then Commanders would be REDSKINS; not happening.

Love to know where you are getting these percent's from as well.

The worst part about Commanders is there is no good way to shorten/abbreviate it. It's a long name with no viable options to shorten it like 'Skins.

Snyder was just a complete fuck-up in every since of the word. That man can't even win a coin toss in 100 flips.

(I actually would like this, original names are cool).

That is so true. Lol.
Every other team can either be abbreviated(fins) is short (jets) it flows (ravens) or you can abbreviate the city like Cincy.

We are stuck with the Wash Manders. Only us.

I hope they change the name. It seems crazy but I think from an outsider perspective they would understand new owner new name. Commanders is fucking terrible. Ive said before winning makes everything ok but it would be really great to win and have a cool name.

If they were going with Commanders, they should have at least changed the city/area reference to D.C.

D.C. Commanders at least sounds like some sort of comic book heroes or something. Let's go D.C. is easy and rolls right off the tongue.

Washington Commanders is a ridiculously long and difficult name to use. Let's go 'Deeeerrrrrssss!

The big problem with DC (not the comics) is dallas fans would mock it/use it en masse in our stadium for their cowboys

Well admittedly not scientific/controlled polls (eg the two polls on Redskins of Native Americans that had a 91-9 breakdown) but the social media and media question polls seem always to fall into that 80-20% breakdown.
