Not gonna lie. When I first skimmed the name I thought they named it the Washington Commodores.

have they confirmed with navy folk and other mariners that this name is not offensive to them?

Commodores would kick ass.

Washington Commodores would funk you up.

Did San Antonio get anything out of this?

The entire "Washington Football Team" is just SAF. I mean do people need to be reminded what sport? Why not just "Washington." Seems pretty obvious it is a team and it plays football ... this isn't the damn MLS.

Believe it or not there are websites that cover multiple sports and have short headlines and limited space. “Washington signs Jones” is too ambiguous. 

Saw this last night from a friend.

Leaked video shows the logo in view through windows lol. Probably set up by Washington on purpose.

their new name is what it is. Over time we all we get used to it. But jesus christ! 2 fucking years "working on this" and you do nothing to the fucking unis!?!?!?  They look fucking stupid!

Washington selects Commanders as its new team name | DAZN ...

Happy “My Grandma Was An Indian Princess And I’m Not Offended” Day!

I've yet to see a serious and good suggestion for the name. Add Commanders to the list of stupid names. I get it - the commander-in-chief lives in DC, but still, meh.

I mean, if I were University of Minnesota and University of Washington, I’d probably at least dial up my counsel and ask about trademark.

So Snyder didn’t want to fight or pay any trademark trolls and then landed on this garbage? Sounds like an Arena Football team

I liked Washington Admirals and DC Destroyers. Just in general they should have done DC instead to separate them from the state and open up something completely new.

that’s cultural appropriation of indigenous peoples. 

Those uniforms are worse than the name. Why didn’t they just keep the Redskins uniform and helmet but sub the logo for a W?

I’m not a lawyer, but I question the enforceability of the trademark trolls (really one main guy) who claimed about 10 names (Warriors, Redtails, Redhawks among others) the day Snyder announced they’d change the name. This nerd in Virginia or DC has no real intention to found his own professional football team with those names. 
 

Snyder was dumb and should have trademarked his top 10 or 20 options before announcing they were going to change it. 

At least the W doesn’t look like Walgreens, like the baseball team.

Admiral needs to be for a city along the ocean not the Potomac. Even though their field is 20 miles from Annapolis, they wouldn't be named the Maryland Admirals. Destroyers - like the boat? Same problem.

They should have just gone with FC Washington. They would have gained a shitload of Euro fans.

Can we talk about how shit the official logo is?

1. Soccer influenced. This isn’t a soccer club. It’s a football team.

2. Putting your titles on the logo is shit (more soccer influence)? You ever gonna win another? (See below).

3. Stars are shit. Stars are not the insignia for a Commander. I get that they’re supposed to be SB wins, but you can’t be having two different places to brag about titles.  And if you have a military themed name, don’t include something that can be confused as a conflicting military reference. 
 

4. WTF is a commander? Is the is the Navy rank? General “Commander.” If it’s not clear wtf you’re talking about the logo should have a picture.

All in all Washington Football Team was better.

1. There’s nothing wrong with a soccer style logo. Nobody is really quibbling with the seal.  It’s the stupid lame name.

3. 3 stars is part of the DC flag and a symbol of Washington DC

I didn’t even think of the DC flag and I lived there for three years.  If I saw them in a row like on the flag, I’d have picked it up. 

Still not awesome.  If you’re going to allude to a flag or another symbol, lean in so it’s unmistakable. Keep the same pattern, or colors, or something other than just “stars.” The stars here are arranged like the Tennessee flag. The Ravens did this correctly with their crest.

Bottom line— too many words, too many numbers, not enough that’s visually memorable. It’s a mess of design. 

That black uniform is just the worst. Putting the logo on the front of the helmet is really something.F1539AF3-1466-4BB2-AF64-F3538EC2DDAE.thumb.jpeg.b38b29a144ad9529c5156f53c85cb3ea.jpeg

The trend of black uniforms has really leaked into the NFL, and I hate it.

He also should have just had a new name ready to go and not gone so long without a permanent name. I think Snyder thought he could get fans to buy extra merch and he didn’t care about the brand

Also, those uniforms have got more than a little of the Maryland under armor overly busy thing going on

I move that we name the team The Commanders.

Seconded. Unaninously approved. We're ecstatic.

Washington Monuments.

Commanders seems awfully anti-equity and white supremecyish.

Why are they claiming the Raiders, Niners and Cowboys titles?

OK, I am now announcing my personal nickname for them that will trigger many people, and WGAFS anyway.

Washington Commoders it is.

Yup, as much as I despite that franchise, the unis looked good with the numbers on the helmet instead of the Indian guy logo. Shouuld have kept it and just changed the name, if that's what they really wanted to do. Messing with the unis is just too much.

Same, I like the helmets but their original unis were great. I hope they go with the more classic look most of the time instead of the horribad black look. 

They should do a tie-in with GI Joe and have a live-action Cobra Commander mascot character.
