My father was in the military for over 25 years. The first game he saw was the Giants and the Redskins was in 1966 Redskins 72 Giants 41 and that is what got hooked on the Skins. We used to listen to them on the radio when I was a kid I hope it is Sentinels, but most likely not going to happen, for reasons mentioned before. At least with that you can tie it in with the military but don't have to. That being said they will always be my team, just hoping the name is something stupid and lame. |

In the end I think the only thing that changes is that I won't spend a dime on this franchise if the name is a boring military one. No way I spend 100$+ on a Commanders jersey. No way I spend God knows the F how much to travel to an empty/filled with opposing fans stadium to root for a team with no identity, no fight song, nothing for the fans to get together and cheer...

Re: Name Reveal 2.2.22
Btw, since everybody on Twitter is playing armchair detective, here are all the names and logo I could find in the 7min vid, in slow mo.
Wouldn't make too much out of it. Except maybe all those are most likely not the name. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Reddit sleuth with a compelling argument for Redtails. On the choice of names I like Redtails more than Commanders. Surely the team has to know Commanders is so bland and generic it would never work. Same thing with Admirals.

Re: Name Reveal 2.2.22
Will , I hear you .. but if you are trying to flee corporate America then it’s not much left .. Money controls everything.. From the cradle to the grave! Being a fan I’m just trying to find a little diversion in the daily struggle to get by .. Redskin football is that escape .. I have other passions but as a fan this team has entertained me for over 40 years ! I lived the Glory days cheering with my dear Grand parents .. they were big fans !! I was with them for all the Super Bowl seasons !! That is Priceless!
In a strange way even the disfunction of the Snyder era has been a form of entertainment in and of itself .. long ago I lowered my expectations so I don’t really get mad anymore .. I the Grand Scheme it’s just entertainment! My personal feeling is I would have never coward down and changed the name but Thats just me .. so here we are ,some of us ready to throw in the towel for good .. some on the fence .. some never were fans to begin with .. the diehards will stick it out !! Heck it fixin to get real entertaining .. with the name and all the fallout from that , the search for a QB , the stadium .. the untold scandals that await us … Hollywood can’t make movies this good .. heck no I’m not leaving I’m gonna continue to be a fan and watch the show good or bad .. |

That said, I can totally see them going with something super generic to avoid backlash from the woke contingent. I also wouldn't put it past them to not realize how many people would feel apathetic toward how generic it is. Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk

Re: Name Reveal 2.2.22
Regarding the Name Commanders.. at first I hated it , then someone on this forum bought it to attention that it is a reference to George Washington which the city is named after .. he was the Commander in chief .. a reference was made to the Buffalo Bills .. Bill Cody etc . Looking at it that way made more sense .. I still would have preferred red wolves but IF it’s commanders I can live with it .. i don’t get the admirals and the redtails doesn’t make me think of a hawk .. let’s face it we can find fault with ANY name .. we all agree that the greatest name/logo brand was the Redskins and apparently a lot of people thought it was horribly Rascist.. so what do I know😀

Re: Name Reveal 2.2.22
I think in terms of "actual" possibilities I'd be pretty happy with Sentinals, Hogs, or RedTails. If it's Commanders I'll eventually get over but really hard meh.

Another issue, which I agree with, is that's it's similar to using Redskins. I think Native Americans have an awesome history, and Redskins was an honorable name. And 99.99% of all Redskins fans either don't even care it references Native Americans or think it's awesome because it does. 00.01% like the name for the racist connotation. In the end, it didn't matter. Using Redtails opens up arguments off of trying to profit off of a minority group, etc. And it's a 100% guarantee that will happen. Also, frankly, I don't think Snyder has earned the right to use such a great historical reference. I don't think we should use any name that is human related altogether. It looks like that is going to happen though. Really wish it could have been Redwolves, Wolves, or Hogs.
