Am I in minority that actually likes the name Commanders?
I don't hate it. Sure I miss the Skins. Yet I kind of like the new identity. Also Snyder has stained Skins legacy so much that I'm okay with the new look and name.

Redskins couldn't make the playoffs

This is purely a hunch on my part, but it wouldn't surprise me that the
sale agreed upon by Snyder required (by Snyder) that the team never go back to being called the Redskins

It also sounded like they might be going back to the old uniforms. My....

I believe that's correct. Unis that look more like the old skins

The old logo is only coming back for a special line of retro gear.
But yeah...there was some suggestion that new pants and jerseys that resemble to old look...maybe be coming soon.

Yep. Nobody really likes Commanders.
Just a blah, minor league name.

How often are renames popular? I mean really?
That's like trying to find someone who liked the movie better than the book ** Edited by statmanfromHCyrs at 2/3/2025, 3:25:52 PM

Yes. That was probably the majority fanbase opinion.

Rebrand it back to the name that they just changed from?

That's known as unrebranding ... in the biz ...

Not the name, but the owner did suggest the logo.

Nah, they were never going back to Redskins.
But they had numerous options that weren't, you know, freaking awful. I thought they'd do a rebrand to coincide with the new stadium.

Opinions were all over the map on what to change it to.
Some wanted to go back to WFT. Some wanted one of the other choices being discussed such as Redwolves or Hogs. And there was a percentage that was hoping that the Redskins were somehow still in play.

Well it really is just "Washington" that is there is no "Commanders" logo..
with some sort of graphics, unless you consider the uni a militaristic look or something. Commanders is really just something say after "Washington"
