Nobody likes change, over time we get over it.
The right thing would be the Redskins, but that would take a fight with the NFL I'm sure they won't want. Next best thing would be a NA themed name and unretire the logos. Changing the name to anything else would at least remove Snyder's stench so anything at this point would be more popular/supported than Commanders.

Anything NA related is putting us right back in the crosshairs we were in with Redskins. There’s no chance they go that route.

As far as I’m concerned the Snyder stench left with Snyder. He’s gone, it’s over.

Idk. You know how if the dog shits in the house and even after you clean it the smell lingers? We still have some fumigating to do. Anything that was his idea needs to go. But every day the stench lessens.

I totally vote for C- men btw.

I think you need to take your dog to the vet if it shits in your house and the smell lingers after you clean it up.

lol - As someone that has owned 3 dogs I can attest to this. We still got some Snyder stench going on- mainly that name and those uniforms. They stink like cleaned up dog shit. It's not as bad as when it was laying on the floor, but it is still in the air and it has to go.

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

I think most people realize Redskins isn't coming back. I wish people would give that a rest. You can still wear your gear like I do, but it's dead.

I would go to Bravehearts and put the arrow w/ the feather on the helmets. It was the helmet of the mid and late 60's. I'm going back to one of the old uniforms and calling it a day.

This is what Dan should have done. He could have just called it the WFT until he figured something out, and went back to that 60's helmet.

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

seriously though, if I had a vote, it would be for change; I don't really like the name. I did kind of like Washington Football Team or Washington FC, but I realize it'd probably end up as something else.

The big thing is, you have to change the name BEFORE you start winning titles, otherwise, we'll be stuck with it.

I feel like the name Commanders was more of a Ron choice than a Snyder choice. By the time that decision rolled around DS had checked out and seemed like he didn't care what happened with the team or the name. Ron always seemed to be advocating for a military related name and with DS checked out Ron spearheaded the decision and got what he wanted by default.

Snyder was too busy funneling as much money as he could from the team (see his "marketing" $4 million dollar a year fee to have the team logo on his private plane )
