We won’t be winners until ownership changes. We have better odds on finding another Joe Burrow (or Tom Brady).

Someone in the in the franchise cares and are probably thinking of ways to stop this.

Historically when a team gets a new logo (and a name in this case) the merch sales are tops in the league initially.

I suspect this will be the case here as well. Hell if they count just what I buy I will single handily push them up the rankings

That didn't happen with the WFT gear and my prediction is the new merchandise will remain dead last in sales. I'm not leaving but will only purchase Redskins gear and none of those proceeds go to the team or the NFL.

The WFT was a unique case though. Everyone knew it was a place holder and the merch came out in a trickle. Only diehards bought that stuff IMO

Actually the team has improved slightly.. I mean let’s face it Even RR is a lot better than some other clowns we have had and who are currently coaching .. we are a QB and a stud LB from actually being good enough to at least compete for a wildcard .. this off-season is critical to taking next step.. I really don’t give a rats ass about the new name .. as long as it’s Washington and the colors are B&G I’m good !!

You and me both.

The biggest name reveal for me is the name of the QB next year ..
Without that I can pretty much tell you the team will be called “Hot Trash” or Dumpster Fire or some other creative name we come up with on the game day thread …😳😀

We were the Redskins for so long that to me it doesn't matter what the new name will be.....I'm good with whatever name is chosen.

Merch sales are part of the revenue sharing pie. And the TV money is the biggest part of the pie by far. Either way, winning cures all.

Personally haven't bought a jersey since I got ST Pro Bowl. Partly because I felt like a jinx (3 years in a row I bought named jerseys and each time the guy was gone the following season).

I may get a t-shirt if the new name isn't embarrassing, but I'm holding off on a new jersey until I see some product on the field that feels like its worth it (probably a Scary jersey assuming we don't bungle extending him).

In 2020 the WFT was 6th in revenue generation amongst all teams. Revenue includes sponsorships, partnerships, tix, concessions and merch amongst other categories. https://www.statista.com/statistics/...teams-in-2010/

It should be noted the revenue generated by the team has declined significantly since then but still top 10. This despite the tix sales which we know definitively are atrocious.

The Bucs were one of the worst selling teams until two weeks before their Super Bowl. So winning will change things quickly.

I for one will buy merch for the first time in over a decade. Once the name change happened I donated all my redskins merch to a local church clothing pantry (except for my script R knit hat) so I am ready for a wardrobe update.

Weren't we winning in Smith's first year here before he broke his leg? First place in the division and the stadium was half full w/ the other teams fans. So winning does not cure all, especially when you are dealing w/ what has gone on here since Snyder ownership.

The only thing that is going to really bring the fans back is marketable core players which would include a QB. Superstar type of players. We really don't have any. A re-brand isn't going to bring anyone back, if anything this re-brand is turning off what core fans you have left.

Fans are not coming back cause you do a re-brand.

Sustained winning over the course of 2-3 seasons is what we're talking about. Not a hot streak.

Youre right, even during the 4 game win streak our fans didnt show up to the stadium but im telling you, its anecdotal but for about 2 weekends during that 4 game win streak I saw more skins gear in Columbia MD than I have in a long time. We took over the Target and the Harris Teeter.

Just win.

Fans will start to wear their colors in public again.

Strangers will chest bump strangers.

Kids will sit on the couch and actually watch the games with their depressed beer drinking dads.

I even entertained the idea of going to a game. That hasnt happened in a long long time.
