In this area, they are still the Redskins.
That will take a while to change.

Apparently Joe Theismann has revealed the new name 2 days early.
"I think the Commanders is a name that is going to be hopefully one that people talk about going forward," Theismann said on CBS' D.A. Show on Monday.

Sounds oppressive to me.

@copper That's what I keep telling my buddies. I say, "you do realize why they have red/burgundy in their colors, right?" Oh but no one can say the word redskins, now. (I still do)
Yeah a chopper flew over the stadium and used a massively zoomed in camera to see that there was "Commanders" gear in an office.
BTW, the nickname is: Washington Commies (no joke), you would think someone in the front office would've realized that on day 1 of the new name selection process.

Did they focus test any of this? The name rollout has been a laughingstock with leaks everywhere, NOBODY likes the name, I think it’s time they cleared house in the ownership group.

- They should have kept the original name.
- Barring that, they should have changed the name to Warriors and they wouldn't have even had to tamper with the logo.

Call me contrarian but Commanders seems like a decent name for a football team. Also “commies” doesn’t seem a natural short because of the difference in pronunciation of the O sound.

The new web site: https://www.commanders.com/
Most of it still uses the old name.

Overall I think the name is a good one. Just doesn't have a good nickname (3 syllables is too much for any sports chant) other than Commies, and is ironic given the tweet point above. @Jolly yes Warriors would've been better and would've continued the tribute to the Native American fighting strength that Redskins name honored.

It’s a great name!
For an Arena League Team.

Good point 89. There aren’t a lot of 3 syllable team names and most that do have a natural nickname. Pats, Bucs, Cards, etc

I remember when the Pats were the Patsies
You don't hear that any more
I think Commies will get a lot of use

Wait, did they honestly send three African American men out for the reveal? Pander much?
