OT: WFT To Become "The Commanders"

[Wax Frog]

You had years to come up with a name and that's all you could come up with? Epic fail.

It just continues to amaze and amuse my inner child (long story as to why), the absolute inversion of fortunes between the Pats and Fails since 2000-ish. Crash and burn, burgundy and gold, crash and burn. Just let me grab some marshmallows and a stick.

 

[‘Mondre]

wow they really missed an opportunity with Redtails.

Could’ve had a mod/minimal branding with a plane motif and a name not far off from the old one.

Ppl love the military.

 

[bormio]

Communists, while spot-on, somehow just doesn’t capture the essence of the place. But “Comrades” seems to do that better

 

[JarOfMayo51]

Washington Commanders sounds like an Arena League team or something

 

[PP2]

As long as ****ty Snyder owns that team, nothing good will ever come from that team.

I actually kinda liked the WFT uniforms with just the number on the helmet but still keeping that Redskins feel.

Also. Commanders is awful.

 

[The Brandon Five]

"Lobbyists" was taken?

 

[Dragda]

Underwhelming choice, to be kind

Yeah, the logo-less old uniforms were infinitely better than this.

Commanders...the first thing to come to my squash...

 

[TheRainMaker]

Still no logo? They sure put a lot of thought into these. Lol.

Awful name. I hope the idiot who spent all that money on the red wolves patent is happy now.

 

[libra957]

Was expecting some fierce mythical creature.

 

[Bill Lee]

The snark is all over the interwebs...

 

[RobertWeathers]

With the way Snyder runs that place they should have been called Der Kommissars.

Plus that would have been more fun to say out loud.

 

[ErniesPinkStripes]

Definitely has a Wizards feel.. doesn't really matter, horribly run franchise until Snyder is forced out.

This was my first and only thought for a while. They had a blank slate and went with the most boring vanilla name they could have come up with.

Red Tails was sitting right there for them.

 

[Since1960]

I can hear the band playing that famous fight song - “Hail to the Commanders” as the P.C. (oops) D.C. crowds silently clap along…

 

[palialka]

Gawd…can you imagine being a Redskins fan right now lol!

 

[Joker]

why not a kinder gentler re-phrasing of Redskins? say...ScarletEpidermals?
